Luck has been sidelined due to soreness in his
surgically repaired right shoulder. The soreness prompted the
team to shut down the 28-year-old two weeks ago after he finally
returned to practice on Oct. 4.
Luck lamented the end result of what is now a lost season for
him.

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson tore the ACL in
his right knee during Thursday's practice and will miss the rest
of the season. The Houston Chronicle confirmed the original
report by NFL Media.
The injury occurred on what was described to the Chronicle as "a
routine play," running a toss-sweep in a non-contact drill.
Watson was added to the injury report as limited and because he
didn't appear to be in much discomfort, it wasn't considered
serious. However, an MRI exam revealed the tear, and Watson will
undergo surgery at some point in the near future.
Watson had just been named NFL Offensive Player of the Month and
AFC Offensive Rookie of the Month for October when he had 1,171
yards passing with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions.
He also rushed for 145 yards on 21 attempts with a touchdown. He
became the first rookie quarterback in league history to be
named player of the month.
He is currently tied with Philadelphia quarterback Carson Wentz
for the league lead with 19 touchdown passes and his 103.0
passer rating ranks fifth in the NFL.
