Andrew Luck not yet cleared, Week 17 status in doubt
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has not yet been cleared for full contact in practice, and it is starting to look like we might not see him again until next season.
Luck said Monday that he has not been cleared for team drills but is still hoping to play against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
Andrew Luck tells @WTHRcom that he’s still not cleared yet for team drills. If Luck is cleared this week he definitely wants to play Sunday.

Luck has missed Indy’s past six games, and he will obviously need to practice in full before he can play. With Matt Hasselbeck still banged up and Charlie Whitehurst having been placed on IR, the Colts are pretty much out of options.
The Colts still have an outside chance at making the playoffs, albeit a very slim one. Luck has remained optimistic that he would be able to return from a lacerated kidney since he took this nasty hit earlier in the season, but things are not looking up. It’s clear that previous reports about the Colts being unsure if Luck would play again this year were accurate.
