The Indianapolis Colts are hoping that Andrew Luck can return during the 2015 season after suffering kidney and abdominal injuries against the Broncos. Matt Hasselbeck led the team to a win last week and the Colts are hoping that Frank Gore, TY Hilton and Donte Moncrief can keep it going against the Buccaneers.
Luck has been dealing with injuries throughout the season and he is expected to miss multiple games after suffering a lacerated kidney and abdominal tear. According to the Indianapolis Star, Luck spoke with the media this week for the first time since the injuries and he said that he is "very confident" that he will be back this season. Pro Football Talk reports that Luck could miss between two and six weeks with his injuries.
Frank Gore came into the week dealing with quad and knee injuries and he is expected to be healthy enough to play on Sunday. Gore missed practice on Wednesday, but he was able to participate in full on Thursday and that puts him on track to play. Gore has 633 yards on the season and he split touches with Ahmad Bradshaw last week and that could happen again. Matt Hasselbeck will be looking for TY Hilton and Donte Moncrief step up after the passing game struggled last week.
The Colts have added running back Boom Herron on the roster after claiming him from the Bills on waivers, according to Pro Football Talk. Herron previously was with the Cubs before getting waived by the tea in the preseason and he later joined the Bills before getting released. Herron played well for the Colts last season, leading the team in rushing in the playoffs with 170 yards and two touchdowns.
The Colts have been dealing with numerous injuries through the season and Anthony Castonzo now joins the last, as he is dealing with an MCL sprain. According to Colts head coach Chuck Pagano, Castonzo is "week-to-week" and he could be out on Sunday. Vontae Davis is day to say with a hamstring injury after the cornerback had to leave the game against the Falcons. The Colts have been inconsistent this season but they have the chance to turn things around this week and they are still likely to win the AFC South division.
