Hurry back, Andrew Luck! The Indianapolis Colts need you.
The Colts sputtered along on offense all afternoon in their 24-10 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon.
This preseason game wasn’t about the final outcome, T.Y. Hilton Jerseysbut rather looking at individuals and how the different units worked together. All eyes were rightfully on backup quarterback Scott Tolzien because of Luck’s absence. The Colts' offense totaled 27 yards in Tolzien's three series.
Luck’s return from the physically unable to perform list and his availability for the regular-season opener against the Los Angeles Rams continues to hang in the air because he still has to get on the practice field following his January right shoulder surgery.
“He’s actually doing really well,” general manager Chris Ballard said on TV during the game. “His strength levels are probably better right now than they were in the last season that he played. That’s the good news. Vontae Davis JerseysWe’ve just got to continue to process what his doctors and the trainers have going for him and when he’s ready to go we’ll get him out there. Andrew Luck JerseysI don’t know exactly the timeline, but we want to make sure we do the right thing for Andrew’s long-term health and let him have a big, long career like we think he’s going to have.” Tolzien’s afternoon was complete after he went 2-of-5 for 24 yards with a sack and a pass batted down. Donte Moncrief JerseysThe change in the depth chart during practice last week carried over to the game, as undrafted rookie free agent Phillip Walker moved ahead of Stephen Morris, who is in his third season, and replaced Tolzien. Walker, who played at Temple, was sporadic throwing the ball. He was only 9-of-20 for 84 yards and was sacked three times, with a couple of those coming because he held the ball too long. “Scott’s had his moments,” Ballard said on TV. “He’s been a little inconsistent, but he’s got to continue to get reps and get better and get the rhythm in the offense. Walker, Frank Gore Jerseyswe think he’s got a lot of talent. He’s a young player and we’re going to continue to work to develop and let him grow.”
When it was starters vs. starters, the Colts looked...: Ballard put a premium on forcing turnovers when he was hired in January. The defense made Ballard happy early when cornerback Vontae Davis got a jump on a Matthew Stafford pass that was intended for receiver Marvin Jones and deflected it. Linebacker John Simon, who spent the past three seasons with the Houston Texans, came down with the interception. That was about the lone highlight for the Colts' starters on offense or defense.
