Andrew Luck has announced his retirement from the Indianapolis Colts

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is retiring from the National Football League.

 

ESPN's Adam Schefter broke the news first in a Tweet on Saturday night.

 

Following the Colts' preseason game at Lucas Oil Stadium, Luck confirmed the news in a press conference.  He says ongoing injuries have done him in mentally and physically.  The 29-year-old noted a career full of injuries, including the ankle issue he's been dealing with this summer, played a large part in his decision.

 

 

Luck was emotional offering thank you’s to those around him.

 

 

"It's been a tough week," Colts General Manager Chris Ballard said in a separate press conference Saturday night. "With that being said, we're moving forward. That's what we do."

 

Jacoby Brissett is now expected to be the starting quarterback for the Colts, who start the regular season in just two weeks against the Los Angeles Chargers.
