INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts second straight win may have cost them quarterback Andrew Luck.Luck entered the concussion protocol after complaining about concussion-like symptoms following Sundays 24-17 victory over Tennessee. Coach Chuck Pagano said Monday he believes the injury concussion occurred in the fourth quarter, but couldnt cite which play Luck was injured on.The surprising news came a little more than 24 hours after Pagano told reporters the Colts had no significant injuries from the game. Indy (5-5) hosts Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving night, leaving little time for Luck to recover. If he cant play the Colts will likely go with backup Scott Tolzien, who hasnt thrown a regular-season pass since the 2013 season.Andrew and (safety) Clayton Geathers, pretty much well after we were all done with media and the locker room and things like that, both guys didnt feel right, Pagano said Monday. Both guys went in the training room and saw our docs and both were evaluated for concussions. Both are in the protocol and its up to the docs and trainers to monitor that situation, so thats where thats at.Geathers also entered the protocol after apparently getting hurt on the final defensive play of the game.Even with Luck healthy and playing pretty well this year, its been a struggle. Indy needed fourth-quarter rallies to win its first two games and had to hold off opponents comeback bids in each of the last three wins.Last year, Luck missed nine games with multiple injuries, the last seven because of a lacerated kidney. To help keep him healthy this season, the Colts reduced his workload at practice. But he has been sacked a league-high 35 times.So when Luck was not taking snaps at practice Monday, it wasnt immediately clear whether it was part of the routine or a new injury.After practice, Pagano clarified what had happened -- and the process Luck must undergo before playing again.You have to feel better, you have to take an impact test and pass an impact test, then practice non-contact, then have another day and then take another impact test and be cleared by an independent, he said. Again, that is our trainers and docs that will handle that.The timing couldnt be worse.Indy just moved back into second place in the AFC South and got back into the playoff hunt by stringing together its first winning streak of the season. A third straight win would be a major step forward for a team that has been inconsistent all season.Now, the Colts will probably face an old nemesis, Pittsburgh (5-5), without their star quarterback.The Steelers have won three straight in the series and 13 of the last 15 since 1984, and they just snapped a four-game losing streak with a win Sunday at Cleveland.Its not the first time the Colts have faced this sort of predicament. Lucks 2015 injuries forced the Colts to rely on four additional quarterbacks to get through a season in which they finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2011. And Indy won the final game after signing Josh Freeman and Ryan Lindley as replacement quarterbacks the week of the game.Tolzien has two career starts, both in 2013 when he replaced injured Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He finished that season 55 of 90 with 717 yards, one touchdown and five interceptions.But the short week doesnt leave much time for Pagano to fret.He has a limited amount of exposure, but he is a pro, Pagano said. Again, if he has to roll and be the guy then he will do a great job. He prepares really well every single day.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Custom Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys .

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Columbus Blue Jackets look to extend their home winning streak to eight games when they host the Colorado Avalanche at Nationwide Arena on Monday at 7 p.m.The surging Blue Jackets (10-4-2) will be playing the second game of a back-to-back after they beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 at the Verizon Center on Sunday for their fourth straight win. The Avalanche (8-9-0) claimed a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday at the Xcel Energy Center.The Blue Jackets hold a 5-0-0 record versus current division leaders (Montreal, Anaheim, New York Rangers and Chicago) and are 2-0-0 versus Washington, the reigning Presidents Trophy winners. They are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games and have won seven stright at home.One of the reasons Columbus is having consistent success is 22-year-old center Alexander Wennberg. He leads the team with 14 assists and is second to captain Nick Foligno in points with 17.Now in his third year with the team, Wennberg (3-14-17 in 16 games) is showing more confidence in shooting the puck while showcasing the latent skill the club hoped for when they drafted the Swede 14th overall in 2013.Hes an important guy for us, for as young as our team is, said Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella. Hes probably one of the most skilled players, most skilled center (on team). Its a big year for him to take more responsibility in his play, away from the puck and with the puck.Hes still young, but hes a third-year pro. This is a big year for him and I think hes started off very well.Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky (10-4-1) has started 15 of 16 games for Columbus, holding a 2.19 goals-against average and a .931 save percentage.The Avalanche are 4-6-0 in theirr last 10 games.dddddddddddd They are without the services of two of their centers and team leaders due to injury. Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog has a lower-body injury suffered in Los Angeles last Tuesday and assistant captain Matt Duchene suffered a concussion on Nov. 11 against Winnipeg.Duchene hopes to be able to play at Columbus.I would say its definitely a possibility, he told the Denver Post. Im not going to say for sure, because I thought I was going to be good for Dallas and then two hours later, Im sitting on the plane and Im not feeling good. Its an up-to-the-minute thing. Itll probably be a game-time decision even then.Despite missing his fourth consecutive game on Saturday, the 25-year old Duchene still leads the team with six goals in 13 games (five assists, 11 points). Landeskog is third on the team in points with eight (four goals, four assists in 15 games).Center Nathan MacKinnon, 21, leads the club in assists and points, recording 4-8-12 in 17 games.Weve pushed hard in some of the games, especially the Dallas game, lately, Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar told the Denver Post. But we came up short. (Saturday) we kept pushing. It didnt matter what the score was, we tried to stay with our game.Its showing the character that our guys have and were starting to move in the right direction.The Avalanche are hoping goaltender Semyon Varlamov asserts himself soon. Hes 4-8-0 with a 3.01 goals-against average and .901 save percentage in 12 games. Backup netminder Calvin Pickard is 4-1-0 in six games with a 2.07 GAA and .931 save percentage. ' ' '
