Andrew Luck Good To Go For Start Of Training Camp
Andrew Luck (shoulder) is good to go for the start of training camp with no limitations on what he can do, but general manager Chris Ballard said Luck will not throw seven days a week during camp.

"He needs to play. ... but it is a fine line," said Ballard, who reiterated that Luck will take normal starting quarterback reps when he's practicing during training camp.

“He’s throwing the ball pretty well,” Ballard added.

Veterans report for the Colts on Wednesday.

As ESPN.com recounted, Luck had surgery on his right shoulder in January 2017. He missed all of the team's offseason workouts, all of training camp and eventually the entire 2017 season after experiencing soreness that couldn't be calmed by a cortisone shot once he started practicing in the middle of October. Luck also spent about six weeks in the Netherlands rehabbing his shoulder in late 2017.

Nonetheless, the Colts have been steadfast about their confidence in Luck's return to action this season. Along the way, the team has loaded up on their offensive line and skill positions this offseason.

So there are increasing reasons for optimism. But it will be nice to see with our own eyes exactly where Luck is at -- and to evaluate what the odds are he'll return to his previous form.

And yes, we'll be following up.
