Andrew Luck's next step: The moment of truth, after moments of doubt

INDIANAPOLIS -- Even Andrew Luck wondered at times if he would ever play football again.

That's understandable when you think about what Luck has endured over the past 19 months. Right shoulder surgery. Cortisone shots. Feeling helpless because he believed he let the Indianapolis Colts down by missing all of last season. A six-week trip to the Netherlands to rehab his shoulder and to try to clear his head. Working with throwing experts in Southern California with one goal in mind: being the quarterback he once was.

The Colts' franchise quarterback is back on the field, with the fate of the once-proud franchise resting on the health of his surgically repaired right shoulder.
