Andrew Luck will miss two to six weeks with multiple abdominal injuries, the team announced Tuesday.
"The injuries happened at the end of an early fourth quarter scramble when Andrew was doing everything he could to get us the win," said coach Chuck Pagano in a statement released by the team. "Andrew was sore after the game and was feeling a little worse Monday afternoon so we sent him to get tests."
The tests revealed a laceration in one of Luck's kidneys and a partial tear of an abdominal muscle. The injuries should not require surgery and full recovery from both is expected within two to six weeks.
"It's way too early to guess how long Andrew will be out," said Pagano. "We're going to keep listening to the doctors and evaluating his progress on a week by week basis. We've got all the confidence in the world in
Matt Hasselbeckand we're not going to put Andrew back out there until he's healed and ready to go."
