Andrew Luck’s return to practice won’t happen this week, Indianapolis Colts coach Frank Reich told reporters Tuesday.
Luck is dealing with injuries to his left calf and high ankle and had previously been ruled out of playing in any preseason games. Reich has said he would like to identify a starting quarterback for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers by Monday.
Reich said the issue is a matter of “full speed movement vs. pain threshold” for Luck, according to The Athletic. Luck missed organized team activities in May because of the calf injury and began training camp last month on a limited basis before suffering a setback.
The Colts go into Saturday’s third preseason game with Jacoby Brissett as their starter. He started 15 games for the Colts in Luck’s absence in 2017, with the team going 4-11 in those games.
