Andrew Luck ruled out for Week 16
The Indianapolis Colts are still fighting for a playoff spot, but they are going to have to do it without their starting quarterback for at least another week.
Chuck Pagano said Monday that Andrew Luck has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Miami Dolphins.
Pagano: Andrew Luck WILL NOT play at Miami

With Matt Hasselbeck battling numerous injuries of his own, the Colts may end up having to turn to Charlie Whitehurst with their season on the line.
Indy is 6-8 but just a game behind Houston for first place in the AFC South. The Texans will travel to Tennessee this weekend to face the Titans, who have lost Marcus Mariota for the remainder of the season to a knee injury.
Luck suffered a lacerated kidney earlier this season on a brutal hit (video here), and there have been rumblings that he may not play again in 2015. Those fears will be realized if the Colts are eliminated from playoff contention this weekend.
