What It Means:

Pagano made Luck sound "really, really close" in Weeks 4 and 5, as well, but all signs are pointing toward Luck returning against the New England Patriots next Sunday night. The Colts have gone 2-0 in Luck's absence.

With 10 days off before the Patriots in Week 6, hopefully this was the last contest Luck is forced to miss. Luck currently ranks 22nd in Passing Net Expected Points Per Play at 0.08.
