What It Means:

As of now, the Colts don't think Luck will need surgery, but he's going to be shut down for 2-3 months before undergoing a reevaluation. The 28-year-old quarterback is dealing with significant damage after playing through a labrum tear for two years, causing many to speculate about his long-term viability. The Colts face the Houston Texans in a Week 9 divisional road matchup on Sunday.

In five seasons, Luck has compiled a 43-27 record while completing 1,570-of-2,651 passes (59.2 percent) for 19,078 yards with 132 touchdowns and 68 interceptions.
