Andrew Luck faces possibility of another surgery, report says

Andrew Luck is still rehabbing from shoulder surgery last January.

The next step in his rehabilitation process is a throwing regimen, but if the Colts quarterback experiences pain while throwing, he may need another corrective procedure next month.

ESPN reported Sunday Luck is hopeful to avoid a second surgery and that his rehab has been going well. Luck has been in Europe to receive therapy techniques not available in the U.S.

The Colts (3-11) have been without Luck all season after he underwent surgery on his right shoulder to repair a torn labrum that he tried to play through the previous two seasons. Luck experienced a setback earlier this year when he began the throwing portion of his rehab process. 

Should he again experience pain while throwing, the ESPN report said a second surgery would relocate Luck's biceps tendon to his repaired labrum, a procedure known as tenodesis. The recovery time for such an operation would three to six months — putting the start of the 2018 season in jeopardy for the sixth-year quarterback.
