  Commanders | Did Not Call QB Luck    Mon May 22, 01:36 PM

Stephen Holder, from ESPN.com, reports the Washington Commanders never spoke to former Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck, and they did not violate the NFL's anti-tampering policy.

Footballguys view: ESPN's John Keim had reported the Commanders had phoned about Luck, and that led Colts' owner Jim Irsay to take to Twitter. He tweeted that any conversations with Luck about returning to the NFL are a violation of the league's anti-tampering policy. In this report from Holder, the situation has been resolved between both teams. Luck is retired everyone, and his incredible potential was never reached because the Colts couldn't put a better offensive line in front of him. The Commanders move forward with Sam Howell as their likely starter in 2023.

  Colts | Andrew Luck planning to retire    Sat Aug 24, 09:39 PM

Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck has informed owner Jim Irsay that he intends to retire, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Absolutely unbelievable. Luck had a calf/ankle issue that has kept him from practicing this offseason. He's mentally done and now walking away from the game. The Colts offense gets downgraded here with Jacoby Brissett taking over as the starter. We could see them lean more on the rushing attack without Luck in the fold. Some truly shocking news for the NFL and Fantasy GMs tonight.

  Colts | Andrew Luck to sit out practice another week    Tue Aug 20, 02:44 PM

Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck (ankle) will not participate in practice for at least another week, according to head coach Frank Reich, who noted Luck's issue is a matter of 'full-speed movement versus pain threshold.'

Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs are nervous about this Luck injury...and for good reason. Missing another week of practice further puts his status for Week 1 in question. We'll see if Luck can actually get out there for practice during the final week of the preseason.

  Colts | Andrew Luck likely out for preseason    Tue Aug 13, 08:08 PM

Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck (ankle) is unlikely to play in the preseason due to an ankle issue, according to general manager Chris Ballard Tuesday, Aug. 13.

Footballguys view: Just when you think Luck is in the clear, this ankle/calf/bone-thing comes to the forefront. Ballard said he's not ready to say the regular-season opener is in jeopardy due to the injury and Luck will continue rehabbing. Luck still has an ADP of QB4 (6.07) in 12-team PPR leagues.

  Colts | Andrew Luck has a bone issue    Tue Aug 13, 10:08 AM

Updating previous reports, Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck (calf) is dealing with a 'small bone issue,' and it's nothing to do with his Achilles', according to owner Jim Irsay.

Footballguys view: Okay, at least we have more clarity on this situation. Luck has been missing time in training camp but the team expresses no concern about him missing the start of the regular season.

Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck (calf) is still considered day-to-day, and the team remains 'confident' and 'optimistic' he will be ready in time for the regular-season opener.

Footballguys view: Luck will miss the last three team practices and we will probably not see him in the preseason. We can't be sure he'll play Week 1 until we see positive practice reports. His value should be falling at the overstocked quarterback position.

  Colts | Andrew Luck's absence not phasing head coach    Tue Aug 6, 08:04 PM

Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck (calf) missed his seventh straight practice Tuesday, Aug. 6, due to a strained left calf and is fully expected to not play in Thursday's preseason opener - or maybe at all during the preseason - but head coach Frank Reich is keeping a level head. 'If I learned anything - and I learned a lot from Tony Dungy, working with him - he literally never flinched,'' Reich said. 'Even when our best players got hurt, you would look at him and you would think it was just ... he was never overly concerned. ... I just think that's important.''

Footballguys view: Luck's calf injury is just the latest concern with the star quarterback. Reich expects Luck to be ready for the regular-season opener. We'll get a better feel for that as we get through the month.

  Colts | Andrew Luck confident about playing Week 1    Mon Aug 5, 02:17 PM

Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck (calf) told NBC Sports' Peter King he has no doubts about being ready to play in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers.'I certainly believe I will (be ready). That's certainly the goal. At times I do worry about it. It can be frustrating. The arc of an injury, whether it's a big surgical one or something you're rehabbing through. But no, because I've improved. Maybe I'm not improving as fast as I want and missing things is no fun. It eats at you. But I do know at the end of the day if I'm getting the most out of myself, if I'm being the best I can that day, then that's what I need to do,' Luck said.

  Colts | Surgery not likely for Andrew Luck    Tue Jul 30, 01:45 PM

Updating previous reports, Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck (calf) will miss a couple of training-camp practices as he deals with a nagging calf strain, but Luck said Tuesday, July 30, that surgery hasn't been discussed. 'The nature of it is a calf strain,' Luck said. 'I say lower leg because I feel pain in my ankle area. I've had images and X-rays and everything, and my Achilles is not at extra risk. There (are) no tears or swelling or anything that's indicated.'

Footballguys view: This brings up images of Kevin Durant and the NBA Finals, so no matter what Luck says, the team will have to be extra cautious. He is a secretive player, so we wouldn't expect him to divulge if his achilles was in danger or damaged.

  Colts | Andrew Luck says injury not a concern    Tue Jul 30, 12:34 PM

Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck (calf), currently sidelined by a calf injury that has lingered into training camp, said Tuesday, July 30 he 'absolutely' will be ready for Week 1 of the regular season.

Footballguys view: It's possible that this could affect Luck's rushing upside in early weeks, but he hasn't been adding much in that department lately. There are so many exciting options at quarterback this year that there's no reason to take on extra risk at the position, so as minor as this might be in the big picture, it makes it easier to pass on Luck at ADP.

  Colts | Andrew Luck excelling in red zone    Thu Jun 20, 12:32 PM

Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck's strong red-zone play is a key to the Colts continuing their success inside the opponents' 20-yard line, head coach Frank Reich said earlier in June at the team's minicamp. 'You need really good quarterback play,' Reich said. 'We got that last year. If you look at Andrew's (Luck) career -- that was one of the things I looked at when I got here. I looked at what Andrew's career was on third down and red zone. He's been good at third down and red zone his whole career. We saw that last year.'

Footballguys view: Luck had 32 passing touchdowns in 2018 that were in the red zone. That was good for second in the league behind Patrick Mahomes (35). His 67.4 completion percentage was good for second in the league as well, this time behind Drew Brees (71.6 percent). Luck is currently going off the board at QB2 (4.12) in 12-team PPR leagues.

Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck has thrown 15 touchdowns to five interceptions in his last four games. He's averaging 321.5 yards passing per game during the stretch.

Footballguys view: Luck is throwing the ball early and often. The team may have found their primary back with a healthy Marlon Mack and that will only help the offense as a whole. Luck may actually throw fewer attempts if Mack continues to play well as a running back but he should still be highly efficient and a QB1 for Fantasy GMs.
