INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts' decision to give quarterback Andrew Luck a cortisone shot and to shut him down from practicing isn't surprising, according to ESPN's medical analyst.
Players returning from shoulder surgery sometimes hit a point when they have to scale things back momentarily, Stephania Bell said. That's the case with Luck. General manager Chris Ballard said Wednesday that Luck, who had right shoulder surgery in January, would not continue his practice schedule this week and that the team doesn't have a timetable for when he'll return.
"In the normal course of rehabbing you see this and it's not tragic," Bell said.
