Colts G.M. makes it official: Andrew Luck won’t play this week

In order for the Indianapolis Colts to salvage their season, Andrew Luck must return for the game against the Seattle Seahawks.

It seemed apparent, considering he hasn’t practiced with his teammates since shoulder surgery.

But Colts General Manager Chris Ballard made it official this morning — quarterback Andrew Luck won’t play this week against the Rams.
He’s a competitor,” Ballard said, via Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star. “You’ve been around Andrew... Mentally, he’s in the best place he’s been.”

Of course, that leaves the physical part, and it’s clear Luck’s not in the best place he’s been in that regard.

Ballard said that Scott Tolzien would start this week against the Rams, emphasizing that their trade for Jacoby Brissett was a long-term consideration.
