According to team reports, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck will miss two to six weeks with multiple abdominal injuries. Luck is out at least two weeks with a lacerated kidney and torn abdominal muscle.
However, the Colts are still in first place due to a weak AFC South division and backup quarterback Hasselbeck is 2-0 as a starter back when Luck was out due to an injured shoulder. We’re going to keep listening to the doctors and evaluating his progress on a week-to-week basis.
Tim Hasselbeck, an ESPN analyst, said Wednesday on the World Wide Leader that he is not optimistic about his brother holding up that long, Pro Football Talk reported.
“You’ve got to move forward”.
Campbell’s National Football League record includes completing 1,519-of-2,518 passes for 16,771 yards and 87 touchdowns with 60 interceptions. That would mean that back quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, 40, would start against the Atlanta Falcons. He started, finished and won Sundays game, looking more like the promising young quarterback that people expected.
“Matt Hasselbeck will step right in again”.
He missed the first two games of his four-year career after getting hurt on the road against the Tennessee Titans on September 27. Luck amazingly stayed in the game and helped the team finish off a victory. The indication of the injury should not require surgery and the initial diagnosis is between two to six weeks. With Luck out, Hasselbeck still gives the Colts the best quarterback in the division. In fact, they are injuries that are usually related to a vehicle crash.
“We will overcome this, and Andrew will make a full-recovery”. The team also signed safety Dezmen Southward to the practice squad and released offensive guard Kitt O’Brien.
