Report: Luck 'very close' to throwing
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is stepping up his attempts to get back on the field for the start of the 2018 season.
Luck has reportedly headed for the Los Angeles area, where he'll work with throwing mechanics and strength coaches Tom House and Adam Dedeaux, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
A source told Rapoport that Luck is "very close" to throwing, indicating that he will not require another shoulder surgery (barring an unforeseen setback).
While on injured reserve this season, Luck spent time in Europe, working on balancing his muscles.

He originally underwent surgery last January to repair a torn labrum. He was expected to be ready for the start of the 2017 season, but he never saw the field, and was quickly shut down following a comeback attempt partway through the season.
