 Head coach Chuck Pagano said Friday that Luck is questionable for
Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, Pagano
remains confident Luck will start Sunday.
"Absolutely ... It's Andrew Luck. If anyone can play, it's Andrew."
Pagano said.
Luck also was listed as questionable on the Colts' injury report
Thursday. He was limited both Wednesday and Thursday, and was not
out with the other quarterbacks at the start of practice Friday.
If Luck cannot go, the Colts would start 40-year-old Matt Hasselbeck,
who has not started a game since Nov. 4, 2012.
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Johnson most recently spent time in training
camp with the New York Jets and Cincinnati Bengals this year. He has
played in 29 games (five starts) and completed 96 of 177 passes for
1,042 yards with five touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

Wide receiver Eric Decker was listed as questionable by the New York
Jets with a knee injury that sidelined him last week.
Decker took part in limited practice for the third consecutive day
Friday as the Jets prepared for Sunday's game against the Miami
Dolphins in London.

Dolphins left tackle Branden Albert is expected to miss his second
consecutive game with a hamstring injury.
Albert traveled with the team to London after sitting out last
week's loss to the Buffalo Bills, but was officially listed as
doubtful after taking part in only limited practice Friday.

Sunday's game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington
Redskins is still scheduled for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff, despite a
possible threat from Hurricane Joaquin.
The NFL stated Friday that there is no current plan to change the
start time, postpone the game or move the game slated to be played
at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland.

The NFL released a statement to address the situation:
"Our primary concern as it relates to Hurricane Joaquin is the
safety of the public, including our fans and clubs.
"Based on the storm's current trajectory and the lifting by Governor
(Larry) Hogan of the state of emergency in eight Maryland counties,
including Montgomery and Prince George's County (where FedEx Field
is located), we expect to play Sunday's Philadelphia at Washington
game as scheduled on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
"The governor's office has assured us that based on the current
forecast playing the game would have no adverse effect on public
safety."

The Eagles listed running back DeMarco Murray as questionable for
Sunday's game at Washington with a hamstring injury that sidelined
him last week.
If Murray cannot play, it will mean increased snaps again for Ryan
Mathews and Darren Sproles.

The Atlanta Falcons will be without running back Tevin Coleman for a
second consecutive week as the rookie continues to recover from a
cracked rib.
Coleman did not practice again Friday and was ruled out for Sunday's
home game against the Houston Texans, along with tight end Jacob
Tamme (concussion), safety Ricardo Allen (knee) and wide receiver
Devin Hester (toe).

The San Francisco 49ers are likely to be without tight end Vernon
Davis for Sunday's home game against the Green Bay Packers.
Davis was officially listed as doubtful with a sore knee. Coach Jim
Tomsula expected Davis to practice Friday, but he was unable to take
part.
