What It Means:

Luck was not seen at the portion of practice open to the media, but neither was Matt Hasselbeck. Pagano said now the team would have to see how Luck's shoulder responded overnight after throwing.

Hasselbeck filled in well for Luck, finishing Sunday with 6.22 Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) on 50 drop backs. Their Week 5 opponent in the Houston Texans is ranked 12th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play on the year. If he plays, our projections see Luck throwing for 274 yards on 44 attempts (6.23 yards per attempt) with 1.88 touchdowns and 1.32 interceptions.
