Luck reveals he suffered separate shoulder injury snowboarding in 2016

Indianapolis Colts star quarterback Andrew Luck said he suffered a separate injury to the same shoulder that kept him out for all of last season while on a snowboarding trip in the winter of 2016.

Luck initially tore the labrum in his right shoulder in 2015 and then apparently sprained his AC joint in the snowboarding accident. However, the veteran passer insisted the latter injury had no effect on his lengthy rehab.

"I've seen more doctors than I can count on two hands over the past two or three years," Luck said in an interview with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, "and the consensus - unanimous - is that the AC is not an issue, nor did it have an effect. The labrum is an issue."

Luck said he called the Colts immediately to reveal the snowboading injury.

"I don't snowboard anymore," he said. "And this was after the initial injury. I went back, rehabbed it with the Colts. I've had a bunch of AC sprains, both left and right shoulder, and resolved that issue. But the labrum has been my issue, was my issue, what I worked through, what I got surgery on."

The Pro Bowl passer is set to start in the season opener Sunday, and it appears he went through more than anyone imagined to get back on an NFL field.
