Didn't Luck take a hit to the back of the head on our first TD?  I remember @SteelCityColt commenting on him taking a nasty hit to the head in the game day thread.  Or am I making a mistake?

 

Yes, he did. It was the play where he dived forward at the goal-line. Can't find a video but here's a screen-cap.

 

[Ratking]

Well great... This Colts team is a constant disappointment. No chance of playoffs now, and you just know luck will get healthy in time and win enough games that we won't get a good draft pick. I have had enough wasting my time with this team... Talk to ya next year to complain about the same problems.... I can't do it anymore this year. 

[richard pallo]

Right now it doesn't look good for Thursday but there is a chance he makes it.  He did finish the game and he had a post game press conference.  No apparent symptoms that were spotted.  Maybe just a little nausea feeling and tomorrow he feels better and he can start passing the protocol.  Hoping it's not serious and he can make it. 

[OffensivelyPC]

Plot twist, we were tanking all along and this team was too good to tank inconspicuously. Win-Win!! i kid, i kid.

[Austin Leonard]

Devante Adams was able to clear in a short week a little bit back so we can hope for the same,but dont rush him if not ready,just sucks being a short week and such a huge game.

Pagano said it was the fourth quarter, and not the helmet hit in the first half. Keefer thinks it was this one.

 

 

Yeah...that would do it.  

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

Maybe he just has concussion like symptoms...

Ack, I hope he's ok.  He's really leaning towards a shortened career if he takes this much more abuse.  Unfortunately, the fix lies within the management, coaching staff  and players that are supposed to protect him.............  Not feeling to good about his safety. 

I concur

[NorthernBlue]

What is it with us playing the Steelers without our freaking QB?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!

 

 

[coltsva]

If he showed no symptoms at the time of the hit, and none immediately after the game, it's likely he's having headaches. 

[Colts_Fan12]

This is actually good for Luck give the guy a chance to rest his body poor guy fights like a gladiator every week takes hit after hit he's been doing it since he came into the league I feel so bad for him honestly

It's not official that he had an actual concussion. We shall see..

Yea he got sandwiched a bit. He was simultaneously wrapped up high and low, so he couldn't really brace himself for the turf.

 

Anyways, I'm pretty excited to see what Scott Tolzien can do for us, so maybe this will be another New England blessing in disguise where our backup is a stud.

That's the one I was talking about. Looks like it's the one.

[Coltsman1788]

Yeah let's trot him on the field against Blitzburgh so he can really get his block knocked off.   I hope they rest the kid as a precaution. Luck takes a pounding every week. If you can't protect your franchise on the field then keep him off of it in this situation. We are most likely taking a "L" on Thursday regardless...Luck or no Luck...it's the Steelers...Colts will do what they usually do against that team...and that's cave.  No need to risk Luck.

Well that stinks but we also know that Chud has shown the ability adjust the game plan around what his QB can do. I find it hard to believe Luck will be able to clear all 5 steps in 4 days time but wont be surprised to see him playing. Either way I'm not concerned. I'm more concerned about the defense getting carved up like a thanksgiving day turkey than if the offense can put points on the board without Luck

Chud can't seem to adjust to throwing short slants and crossing routes or bunches formation for his best qb but he can do it for all the scrubs that warm the bench for him..his adjustments are trash

This. Except I believe it was not even his shoulder pad which hit him. I remember thinking it was helmet to helmet.

Me too.  It was close.  Looked like helmet, then shoulder.

his neck snapped doen too.

maybe the sum of the combo of this and the other hit.

How do you not know when your qb suffered a concussion?????? Smh

I think we all know what play it happened on.  The lineman threw his full weight on Andrew and the slo-mo replay was brutal... watching his head snap back when it hit the turf at a very high velocity was painful.  It sucks because we could have still been in the playoff hunt.  Without Andrew Thursday, throw that out the window. (Granted, the Texans would have to lose tonight as a prerequisite, but you never know with the new-fangled Raiders)

I think it's time for some of us Colts fans to realize that the Texans have a lot of will to win  despite their shortcomings at QB. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

If he does miss, it's just 1 game and most people had this as a loss anyway. Houston will at least lose 3 more games if not 4 with their schedule. Season still isn't over. If somehow we beat Pitt anyway than that is a plus.

I thought it was this play actually. Kind of strange how he seemed fine after the game then this is going on? Usually when you get a concussion you are knocked silly. He was perfectly fine in the post game presser.

[CR91]

Kinda ironic how this is our first thanksgiving game since 2004 and how much we wanted to see our colts on thanksgiving and when we finally get it, we don't want it since most likely luck will be out

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

Just a bigger stage for us to be publicly humiliated again... 

[2006Coltsbestever]

So if we win this game without Luck does Pagano still suck? Just asking the haters?

The play where he ran to about the 1 or 2 yard line.  One defender was at his feet and a second caught the back of andrew's head with his shoulder pad .  I remember worrying about a concussion when i saw it.

andrew kinda turned around like it was a "good" hit.  And by good, i mean HARD. 

My thoughts as well. I had an oh shoot moment when he took that hit. Especially after he bobbled the football

He is really racking up injuries. This FO and coaching staff are trying their best to screw his career to hell and back.

That's a good point. They don't let you do post game interviews if you have c oncussion symptoms.

He must have had them later

I don't think it's a done deal he doesn't play Thursday.  I think there is a small chance,  however unlikely, because they haven't elevated Morris yet.  

If he can't play I would start morris because Tolzien can't play a lick and I think we lose regardless so why not give him a chance.

I really thought it was that one too. But it could just be a combination of the hits causing the concussion. 

 

Sometimes concussion symptoms can be delayed. It's possible that he wasn't fine during the game and simply played through it (wouldn't be the first time), but he could have started feeling disoriented after the game. 

[jseg18]

Positive outlook: Raiders win. we possibly lose Thursday, our next game is Monday night Dec 6. Plenty of time to rest.

I was so hoping to finally beat the Steelers. I've been waiting for years. 

 

We are cursed. Someone call the Chicago Cubs and ask them how to break this!

[Bluefire4]

Pagano himself said it happened in the 4th quarter so I think it was the sack there that gave him the concussion.

 

Davante Adams got a concussion in a game this year and played the following Thursday according to Rotoworld so there is still a chance.

I hope you're okay Andrew.
