Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck suffered a setback in his injured shoulder and will not practice this week, general manager Chris Ballard said Wednesday.

Ballard said Luck had soreness in his shoulder and has taken a cortisone shot. The general manager did say that Luck won’t be placed on injured reserve, but this is a major setback.

Colts GM Chris Ballard: Andrew Luck has had soreness in his shoulder. Won't practice this week. This is what we call a setback. — Zak Keefer (@zkeefer) October 18, 2017

Luck will not be put on IR. His season is NOT over. But there's no question this is a significant setback. — Zak Keefer (@zkeefer) October 18, 2017

Luck ramped up his practice workload in Week 6. He saw some seven-on-seven work and even made the defense “look silly” a number of times when he worked with the scout team.

Luck will need to be a full participant for an entire week before he returns to the playing field, and with the Colts taking their time throughout this whole process, they won’t be found skipping steps now, especially since he has suffered a setback in his return.
