Not at all.

 

He has yet to practice and once he starts throwing he will probably practice for a week or two.  I say no earlier than week 3...

[Valpo2004]

I'm going to guess a week 5 return after Indy is 0 - 4 

[jblastick]

5th or 6th game.  I'll be optimistic and say the Colts go 3-2 without him (wins against Rams, Browns and 49ers).   Too much doom and gloom lately.  Flame away but I'm just trying to stay positive as the season is ready to start.  Don't want to accept the fate many have assigned to us.  Hope I'm right!

I think he returns week 3 and we're 1-1

[CR91]

I think he practices week two, but won't play. I think the browns game might be 50-50

[HOZER]

Of course he won't, I got free tix to that game!!!!!!

[indy1888]

Not a chance. He's not even practiced and once he starts he will likely need several of them to be game ready. I won't be surprised if he misses more then the 6 games that PUP would have covered, although my official prediction is week 5 at home versus the 9ers if everything goes right.

[bananabucket]

I would be stunned.

[Old Colt]

Not before week 5..... He can't be ready for week 2 and likely not till week 3, especially with the lack of any practice so far.  You are not going to risk him in the 1st game back against Seattle and what many are calling a Super Bowl defense and more.  so week 5 against SF, ease him back onto the field in a winnable game and allow him to gain some confidence.  Maybe we can be at least 1 - 3 when he comes back.... maybe

On PUP he could not practice though.  It would have been a bigger setback having him miss those 6 weeks plus another 1 or 2 due to practice.

[Smitto]

No.... Wk 5 or 6 yea

[BProland85]

No. He won't be back until at least October in my opinion.

That's true, but many people think him coming off PUP was fact that he will not miss all that many games.  I don't buy that.  Him coming off PUP was an easy decision.  You want to keep the interest of the fan base before the season starts. You could make an argument that if he doesn't play the first 6 weeks that you simply wasted a roster spot.  I won't argue that however because it's a rebuilding year anyway and the guy taking his spot likely wouldn't have made much a difference.  The chance that Luck might come back is worth keeping him off PUP.

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

Aren't some analysts saying week 3 is likely?

I will never buy that they did this for ticket sales.  Season tickets are already bought and most single tickets are as well.  Well before the PUP list decision!  I will say that as a GM and coach you would rather let him have the chance to play week 4, 5, or 6, if possible versus waiting until week 8 or even 9 because he was on the PUP.

I bet he will be playing somewhere around week 3-4. 5 bucks

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

No chance

 

imo

[pgt_rob]

Definitely not Week 2. He has yet to even practice. I'd say he returns Week 4 against the Seahawks. Week 5 at the latest in my opinion.

[Yoshinator]

I predicted week 4 before, and I'll stick with that prediction now. I think we start 1-2 and Luck gets brought back to try and keep our season alive vs the Seahawks. We all know that game is a loss without Luck, and so does the FO, whether they'll admit it or not. 

[ColtsArmy84]

i say he returns to practice on monday. Practices for 2 weeks and makes his grand return vs the Browns in Week 3.

[BR-549]

I am with Jared, no way prior to week 4.  Doesn't mean I won't cross my fingers for a week three return but not week 2 for sure.  He wasn't even on the practice field with the team from what I have heard, so even if he starts practicing next week it won't be enough to get him ready for week 2.  

 

He has to be hungry though.  I bet he is as anxious as any of us for his return.

[GoDeep]

My son and I are heading out to Seattle for Sunday Night Football.  It would be nice if he would be back by then.

 

Just sayin'

[bleevit]

Tolzien will play so well in LA, they'll cut Luck.

[Dingus McGirt]

Not even a tiny chance.

[csmopar]

My guess is week 3. With a 10 percent chance of week 2

[dew5150]

I believe he'll be back somewhere in weeks 4-8, with an outside chance of even later.

[jchandler7]

No, week 4 is my guess.

[IndyScribe]

No. My guess is the game against the Seahawks.

[1959Colts]

No. The front office is so full of crap, it will certainly be longer than expected.

The front office never said he would be playing by a specific time.  How are they full of crap?

Huh?

 

Irsay and Ballard pretty much cleaned house of the old front office and been replaced by people with great reputations.

 

And you think that our front office is "full of crap."   ???       Did you actually mean to say that?

 

Care to explain this?      It's a real head scratcher.......

 

[NewColtsFan]

 

As for Luck's return.....

 

I'm guessing weeks 5-6.     Possibly week 4,  but I wouldn't call that likely right now.     Especially with the news that Luck has yet to practice with the team.      Does that sound like a guy who will be back in a few weeks?

 

[HOF19]

I am now gonna look at first week of November  !

[JRnINDY]

Just like everyone else on this board, we don't know if he's practicing with a receiver indoors.

I hoping week 2 but 3 more likely 

[Douzer]

No. 

They'll have to run the ball and play defense! It will be OK!

[Superman]

No. I think he'll have to practice at least a week before he plays. Probably two or three. Right now I say he'll be back Week 5.

[ukcolt12]

Week 5 is my opinion against seattle. Seriously though when he is ready he will play.  No way the colts say he's ready but crap its seattle so lets swerve a week. If he is good to go they put him in.

Of course they would never admit that he is rested because of a team
