Luck tops Watt for Comeback Player of the Year

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck was honored Saturday with the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year award.

Luck, who was sidelined for the entire 2017 season because of a shoulder injury, won the award in a landslide vote over Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt. The latter played just eight games over the previous two years due to injuries but rebounded with a 16-sack campaign in 16 games this season.

The 29-year-old threw for a career-high 4,593 passing yards to go with 39 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 2018, guiding the Colts to the playoffs while thwarting preseason concerns over the strength of his arm.
