Colts QB Andrew Luck (kidney) will not play Sunday vs. Dolphins
That means Indianapolis will once again turn to Matt Hasselbeck, assuming he’s healthy enough.

Weeden led Houston to two field goals before throwing an 8-yard go-ahead touchdown pass to Jaelen Strong with 10:36 left to help Houston rally for a 16-10 victory. Colts’ D’Qwell Jackson (52) defends on the play.
Houston blanked the Colts in the second half and limited Indianapolis to only 190 total yards, including 50 on the ground.
After winning his first four starts while filling in for Luck, the 40-year-old Hasselbeck has gotten worn down throughout his extended playing time.
“(Hasselbeck) was jogging off the ball, and I was expecting (Moncrief) to break, and as soon as I saw the ball in my peripheral, I thought, “I just need to make a play and end it” Bouye said. What now? “it’s out of our hands and all we can do is finish strong”.
There are far bigger problems than effort in Indy (6-8), and they don’t seem to be getting any better.
It’s not a surprise, as Luck recovers from a lacerated kidney, but it does keep the Colts in a tough position as they try to salvage something of a season gone awry.
Luck returned to practice last week for the first time since November 6. In many instances, receivers were open but passes were not completed because either Hasselbeck or the receiver made incorrect reads.
The Colts started three first-half drives in Houston territory and managed just 10 points.
When Whitehurst came in, Chudzinski was instantly more willing to draw up plays that would threaten the Texans secondary downfield and utilize the speed of Hilton, Moncrief and Dorsett.
Because he was the third string quarterback until last week when Hoyer was out, Weeden had nearly no experience working with Houston’s first-team offense.
The mounting injury woes on the Indianapolis Colts roster could put punter Pat McAfee under center. It’s an accomplishment, yes, but it also goes to a larger point: No matter how bad your record, you still have a shot in this upside-down National Football League season. Houston got another break when the third place Jacksonville Jaguars fell to the Atlanta Falcons, ending the team’s hopes of sneaking up and stealing the division late.
Houston Texans quarterback T.J. Yates suffered a torn ACL in his left knee and is out for the season, coach Bill O’Brien confirmed Monday.
Next Sunday, the Texans will be at home to face the Tennessee Titans, but they don’t know who the quarterback will be. They also each had crucial holding penalties, in particular Griffin’s which caused an Akeem Hunt catch and run inside the ten yard line to get called back.
There’s more at stake than just this season, too.
