INDIANAPOLIS – Andrew Luck and the Colts are ready to get back to football.
Indianapolis returned to the practice field Monday after its bye week.
The Colts are still trying to move on from the season-ending injury to Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne, who had surgery Friday to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Indy replaced him on the active roster Monday by promoting Griff Whalen from the practice squad. They are preparing for a third straight prime-time game, Sunday night at Houston, and they still have control of the AFC South.
The break also allowed some guys to get healthier. Linebacker Bjoern Werner returned to practice Monday after injuring his foot in late September.
