Andrew Luck • QB • Indianapolis Colts • Sixth season • @ALBookClub

Luck remains sidelined after undergoing offseason surgery on his throwing shoulder. With head coach Chuck Pagano giving no indication as to when Luck will return, it looks safe to assume the former number one overall pick will not play Week 1.

After Bryan Bulaga's injury in practice last week, Murphy started at right tackle in a 20-17 loss at Denver on Saturday. On 60 offensive snaps (83 percent), Murphy allowed just two pressures against Denver's fierce pass rush. If Bulaga is unfit for Week 1, Murphy will likely start in his place.
