With just over two weeks to go until the official start of the 2017 season, the Indianapolis Colts still insist they have no idea when their starting quarterback will be able to return.
On Tuesday, Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star asked Chuck Pagano if Luck is running out of time to be ready for Week 1. The Colts head coach said there is still no timeline for Luck’s return.
Said he still doesnt have a timeline and isn't worried about it. Then he gave me a few cliches and laughed if off. I don't have a good sense

As Holder notes, the Colts are scheduled to have just two practices next week and four the week after. No one from the team has given any indication that Luck is all that close to returning from the PUP list, so it is starting to look like a longshot that he will get enough reps under his belt to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1.
Luck underwent shoulder surgery in January to repair a torn labrum. The recovery time was projected as 6-9 months. A report about Luck’s status on Monday sounded promising, but it’s hard to know anything until he returns to the field.
