(Gary Landers / Associated Press)The battering Andrew Luck took as he played behind a porous offensive line has gotten all the attention as he has battled through shoulder rehab, but the Indianapolis Colts quarterback admits that he also hurt his shoulder doing something else — snowboarding. During the 2016 offseason, Luck was snowboarding in Colorado and sprained the acromioclavicular (AC) joint in his throwing shoulder, he told the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. He had torn his labrum in 2015, a season in which he also suffered a lacerated kidney, and yet still was snowboarding. I’ve had a bunch of AC sprains, both left and right shoulder, and resolved that issue. “It made me realize I love football and I love playing it,” Luck said.
