Luck (foot) to return to practice Monday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck missed practice again on Tuesday, but head coach Frank Reich expects him to practice Monday when the team opens its preparation for the regular-season opener.

Luck sat out practice Monday with what Reich called a "minor" foot injury he sustained in the team's third preseason game on Saturday, though the coach said Luck would play this week if there were a regular-season game.

The Colts have a walkthrough practice on Wednesday before Thursday's preseason finale at the Cincinnati Bengals. Then come final cuts, before the team prepares to host, coincidentally, the Bengals on Sept. 9.

Reich said Luck likely hurt the foot on a third-and-13 scramble against the San Francisco 49ers, a play on which he gained 15 yards and a first down after declining to slide in the open field.

Playing without starting left tackle Anthony Castonzo, Luck was sacked once, hit another time and forced to scramble on several occasions in a quarter and a half of playing time against the Niners.

Luck, who turns 29 next month, missed all of last season while recovering from surgery to his throwing shoulder, but all indications are his shoulder will be no issue when the season opens.
