Report: Colts believe Luck will play this season, may return in Week 6

The Indianapolis Colts believe Andrew Luck will play this season despite being sidelined for the first three weeks of the season with no timetable for a return, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

The Colts took Luck off the physically unable to perform list to start the regular season after offseason shoulder surgery, avoiding a mandatory eight-week absence. Rapoport notes Indy took Luck off the PUP list for a reason, and they continue to expect their star quarterback to return before the eight-week mark.

The veteran pivot could make his season debut in Week 6 versus the Tennessee Titans, added Rapoport.

Luck has yet to resume practicing, with Jacoby Brissett starting in his place.
