Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck will miss two to six weeks with a laceration in one of his kidneys and a partial tear of an abdominal muscle, coach Chuck Pagano announced Tuesday.
"It is one heck of a blow," Pagano said. "You don't want to lose anybody, especially your starting quarterback. Our guys will respond like they always do. We've been through a ton already this season and in the past, and we'll get through it. We'll get through it."
Veteran Matt Hasselbeck will start at quarterback during Luck's absence. Hasselbeck, 40, won both of his starts earlier this season when Luck was out with a right shoulder injury. Hasselbeck is 48-of-76 for 495 yards and three touchdowns this season. The Colts, who lead the AFC South with a 4-5 record, have a bye this weekend and play at Atlanta on Nov. 22.http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14099311/andrew-luck-indianapolis-colts-miss-2-6-weeks-lacerated-kidney
