- ESPN Indianapolis Colts reporter Mike Wells, while appearing on Sirius XM Fantasy Radio, has stated that the “odds are against” quarterback Andrew Luck playing in Week 1 of the regular season, via Mike Clay on Twitter.
- Luck, who is currently recovering from shoulder surgery, posted a career-best PFF overall grade of 91.6 in 2016, and ranked as the fourth-best quarterback.
- In Luck’s absence veteran, Scott Tolzien is expected to start. Tolzien has three career starts to his name, two coming with the Green Bay Packers in 2013, and one last season for the Colts in a Thanksgiving Day loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he finished with an overall grade of 68.5.
- So far this preseason, Tolzien has struggled somewhat under pressure, completing just 2-of-7 passes for a passer rating of 47.9. This is an area he has also struggled during his limited playing time in the NFL, taking six sacks in forty five snaps under pressure and throwing three interceptions.
