Orthopaedic surgeon Dr. David Chao doesn't expect Andrew Luck (shoulder) back until November.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that the Colts were targeting a Week 6 return for Luck, but Chao always considered that a "tight timeline." Chao believes Luck will need about four weeks of practice before he's game-ready. Considering he hasn't been cleared to practice yet, it looks like the earliest we'd see Luck is November. Getting Luck back in six weeks was always a pipe dream and in hindsight, the Colts probably would have been better off stashing him on the PUP list.
