Andrew Luck will return to practice with the Indianapolis Colts this week.

"We'll slowly start working him back into practice this week," Chris Ballard told WFNI-1070 AM in Indianapolis. "We'll see how much he gets. But we've got a plan in place to where we want him to start getting him reps, and then in time, as we can get him incorporated back into team work and all that, we'll get him back on the field."

Luck had right shoulder surgery in January. He began training camp on the physically unable to perform list, but was taken off PUP prior to the start of the regular season.

Jacoby Brissett will continue to start at quarterback until Luck is ready to play in his first regular-season game since Week 17 of the 2016 campaign.

"Everybody has to understand he's not going to come back and take all the first-team reps and play 50, 60, 70 snaps in practice a day," Chuck Pagano said. "We have to integrate him back into practice. Like anybody else, do some individual, throw some routes versus air, stay with his throwing progression and bring him along. Again, it'd be great just to have him out there with his teammates, red jersey on, working again."
