Although Andrew Luck may be held out of the preseason after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery, the Colts aren’t planning to sign another quarterback, general manager Chris Ballard told reporters, including Bob Kravitz of WTHR (Twitter link).
Ballard did allow that Indianapolis had “discussed” adding a veteran quarterback, but will instead opt to go forward with Scott Tolzien, Stephen Morris, and Phillip Walker behind Luck. If the Colts change their mind, however, available signal-caller options include the likes of Colin Kaepernick, Christian Ponder, Shaun Hill, Robert Griffin III, and Zach Mettenberger.
Luck is expected to be available for Week 1, so the Colts likely won’t need to rely on their backup quarterbacks at the outset of the 2017 campaign. But if Tolzien is forced to go under center, Indianapolis can expect a steep dropoff in production. Tolzien has started only three games during his career, completing 61.7% of his passes for two touchdowns and seven interceptions.
