It's been an injury-plagued season for Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck. He dealt with a shoulder injury early on in the season that kept him out for two games and he's been out for each of the last two weeks with a lacerated kidney. But he may not be out much longer.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Colts owner Jim Irsay expects Luck back sometime in the next two to three weeks.

The Colts, at 6-5, are tied atop the AFC South with the Houston Texans, though they are technically in first place by virtue of a head-to-head win (without Luck) back in Week 5. They play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football this week before traveling to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars in Week 14.

Backup QB Matt Hasselbeck should be under center for both of those games. The team is 4-0 in games Hasselbeck has started this season.

Andrew Luck could return in a few weeks. (USATSI)
