The saga that is Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts continues to hit new lows with each passing day. Luck has been shut down for the season and won’t play until the 2018 season…At least that’s what they’re hoping for, as his injured shoulder that he had offseason surgery on back in January hasn’t healed the way the organization had hoped. According to a report from ESPN 1070 The Fan’s Tony Donohue, not only is Andrew Luck slated to miss the rest of this season, but he may never play in the league again.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is seeking treatment on his right throwing shoulder in Europe, according to a report by ESPN. Luck, who is rehabbing his surgically repaired shoulder and in the process of trying to get it balanced, appears to be seeking non-traditional treatment similar to former Colts QB Peyton Manning, who traveled to Europe to treat a neck injury during his storied career.

quote:

The Colts are working under the impression that Luck will be back in time for next season, but Mortensen tweeted on Nov. 5 that the Colts are "not ignoring" the 2018 quarterback draft class. Jacoby Brissett, who the Colts acquired from New England on Sept. 2, has started the past eight games for Indianapolis (3-6).

He needs to get out of Indianapolis. Go somewhere like Denver or San Francisco and rejuvenate your career like Alex Smith did.

Weren't many saying the same about Brees and his shoulder back in 2005-2006?
quote:

More than 1,700 miles away in Birmingham, renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews watched a replay of Brees going down. "I thought, my God, what an injury," says Andrews. Four days later he examined Brees and diagnosed a rare 360-degree tear of the labrum, the ring of cartilage around the entry to the shoulder joint. During surgery Andrews discovered a deep, partial rotator cuff tear. He says the damage in Brees's shoulder joint represented "one of the most unique injuries of any athlete I've ever treated."

Andrews and two other surgeons mended the labrum with the unheard-of total of 11 surgical anchors (three or four is common) and also repaired the rotator cuff. The 90-minute procedure was performed arthroscopically--a godsend for Brees. If the doctors had had to cut through shoulder tissue, his recovery would have been prolonged by months.

Still, Brees faced an arduous rehabilitation, with long odds. "Lord, I was just hoping to give him a functional shoulder," says Andrews. "An average athlete would not recover from this injury."

Indianapolis never having an offensive line ruined his career. He should be able to sue them for an unsafe work environment.

Too much money on the line for him to give it up. And he's only 28.

Yes
What sold the Saints on the Brees shoulder surgery was Payton talked to Phil Simms about his experience with the same surgery and Simms said he actually came back stronger than ever

Would be nice for his career if he latched on to a similarly great situation for his career like Brees. The colts are going to kill his career

Luck to New Orleans.

Saban to an NFL team that thinks Luck's career is over. Saban to Auburn in 2020.

Maybe he can come to the Saints healed after Brees retires.

He might slow play it to get out of Indy this offseason because Irsay is a retard.

They'll trade him, if anything. But I don't see that happening.

Luck in Jacksonville would be an awesome sight to see.

Luck in Cleveland would be terrible for his long term health as an alive person.

I agree.

Or in a Saints uniform.
