Colts' Andrew Luck: Expected to throw before training camp

Colts head coach Frank Reich said Wednesday that he anticipates Luck (shoulder) throwing during the break between the end of minicamp and the beginning of training camp, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Luck took some snaps and handed the ball off during minicamp in late April, an indication he has made some progress in his recovery. However, the big test of his health of his shoulder will come when he uncorks passes for the first time since October. If Luck remains on track with his rehab schedule, it wouldn't be surprising to see him participating in some fashion when training camp begins in August. In addition to proving his health, Luck will face the additional task of developing a rapport with the new coaching staff and a number of new faces at skill positions. Eric Ebron and Ryan Grant joined the club via free agency and the Colts added a trio of weapons through the draft in wideouts Daurice Fountain and Deon Cain and running back Nyheim Hines.
