The Indianapolis Colts will be without Andrew Luck for the third game in a row.
Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said Monday that Luck was out for the team’s Week 3 game.
Luck had offseason shoulder surgery in January and spent much of training camp on the PUP list before being activated to the active roster a week before the season. Being on the active roster means the Colts expect to have the QB back at some point before Week 6, otherwise they would have let him open the season on the PUP list in order to keep an extra roster spot.
Indy traded for former Patriots third-string QB Jacoby Brissett prior to the season. He relieved Scott Tolzien in Week 1 against the Rams and then started the Week 2 game against the Cardinals. Brissett is expected to start again in Week 3 against the Browns.
There still is no timetable on Luck’s return. It’s not a surprise to see him ruled out again considering team owner Jim Irsay said they would be patient with the franchise quarterback.
