Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said recently that Andrew Luck had a chance of returning to practice this week, but the star quarterback still is not ready for that.
On Wednesday, Pagano told reporters that Luck is still at least a week away from taking the practice field, though he noted that the signal-caller has not suffered any setbacks.

Luck has not played or practiced yet this season as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery he underwent in January. Jim Irsay said early in the offseason that he was confident the franchise QB would be ready for Week 1, but Luck has not recovered as quickly as the team initially thought he would.
The Colts chose not to place Luck on the injured reserve designated to return list because they believed he would be ready to play before Week 8, and one report about his target return date indicates that could still be the case.
