Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is out with a calf injury at the moment

and any absence from the lineup calls to mind the right shoulder injury that left him out of action for the entire 2017 season.When Luck was first getting back into action after that injury Rock Ya-Sin Jersey , he said he “worked myself into a fairly dark place” during his time away from football. The current injury doesn’t seem to be the same level of severity, but it doesn’t sound like Luck would be going down that road even if it looked like he’d be off the field for a long time.Luck told Albert Breer of SI.com that his shoulder injury was a “blessing in disguise” because it forced him to reevaluate the value he placed on different parts of his life. He included his relationship with his wife Nicole in that, saying he doesn’t think they’d be married if he had not gone through a process that put football in a different perspective.“I’d put way too much of my self-worth directly into how I was performing on the football field,” Luck said. “And then I wasn’t on the football field and I felt quite empty. It was very unhealthy, first for me T.Y. Hilton Jersey , second for the relationship with my now-wife, and my other relationships. The result has been the best thing that ever could’ve happened. It forced me to look in the mirror and do a character assessment, and address the things I didn’t like and then the things I did like, and then get on the same page with the people I love and respect.”Luck said that working to be present when he’s away from the team “helped me work harder, work smarter” when he is practicing Darius Leonard Color Rush Jersey , watching film or otherwise preparing for games. That worked out well enough for a playoff spot last season and the hope will be that everyone picks up where they left off once Luck is cleared to get back to work this summer. It’s been a busy weekend for Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus.His unit came up big in a 21-7 win over the Texans in Houston on Saturday, which means he’ll be up against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs next weekend. Eberflus’ attention wasn’t entirely on the Kansas City offense on Sunday, however.The Browns announced that they completed an interview with Eberflus on Sunday afternoon. Eberflus oversaw a major turnaround on defense in Indianapolis after being hired away from the Cowboys in the offseason and that effort has helped push his name into contention for another move up the ladder.Interim head coach Gregg Williams kicked off the Browns interviews on Tuesday with former Lions and Colts coach Jim Caldwell talking to the team on Wednesday. Vikings offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski interviewed Thursday, Saints assistant head coach/tight ends coach Dan Campbell interviewed Friday and Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores interviewed Saturday.
