INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck thought he'd return to the field before the end of last season. When his lacerated kidney refused to cooperate, Luck established last weekend's Hall of Fame game as the target.
That didn't happen either, when the game was canceled because of poor field conditions.
Luck's next chance comes Saturday at Buffalo.

"Yeah, maybe a bit," Luck said when asked if he was more excited to play this preseason after not appearing in a game since Nov. 8. "Maybe a bit just to get out there and be back on the football field."
Luck is expected to play at least a couple of series in an interesting test against Rex Ryan's defense. Last season, Luck struggled against the Bills in a 27-14 season-opening loss that set the tone for the worst season of Luck's pro career.
