Andrew Luck Suffered Snowboarding Injury After 2016 Season 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Sep 9, 2018 1:21 pm

Andrew Luck hasn\'t played since the 2016 season because of issues with his throwing shoulder.

The Indianapolis Colts quarterback had surgery for a posterior labrum tear suffered on the football field, but he also injured himself in the winter of 2016 in a snowboarding accident in Colorado that left him with a sprained AC joint.

When it happened, the called the Colts immediately and was honest about it.

\"I don\'t snowboard anymore,\" Luck said. \"And this was after the initial injury. I went back, rehabbed it with the Colts. I\'ve had a bunch of AC sprains, both left and right shoulder, and resolved that issue. But the labrum has been my issue, was my issue, what I worked through, what I got surgery on.\"

Luck does not believe the AC sprain affected his torn labrum. He was adamant it did not slow his rehab.

\"I\'ve seen more doctors than I can count on two hands over the past two or three years,\" Luck said, \"and the consensus -- unanimous -- is that the AC is not an issue, nor did it have an effect. The labrum is an issue.\"
