Link says Luck's status for TNF is uncertain, which is definitely different than what was reported this weekend in that they were sitting Luck to give him a week of rest so he could play TNF on a short week.

Interesting, especially since they only carry 2 QB's and cut their #2 from last week. I'd guess we'll see Luck, but I guess they could always resign the guy on Wednesday if Luck's prognosis doesn't look so grand. Not like there's a line for his services.

Our WR group is going to be VERY young come Thursday, assuming they won't be able to pick a guy up off the street to be active for a short weeks game.

And looks like that's what they have done.

Truth, or cat and mouse?

#Colts still expect Andrew Luck to start vs #Texans. Re-signed Josh Johnson because backup Matt Hasselbeck has been sick.

Andrew Luck officially questionable for Thursday's game, along with Anderson, Davis, Hasselbeck, Adams. Jerrell Freeman ruled out.

The 2-2 Indianapolis Colts pay a visit to NRG stadium Thursday night to take on the 1-3 Texans in an AFC South matchup. The Colts defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday 16-13 in overtime at home while an injured Andrew Luck sat the bench.

The Texans most recently lost 48-21 to the Atlanta Falcons in a road game.
