Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is limited for second practice in a row

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck was listed as a limited participant in practice Thursday for the second straight day with a sore right shoulder.

He’s still expected to start Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Luck and Coach Chuck Pagano do not usually speak to reporters after Thursday practices, and offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton deferred all comments about injuries to Pagano.

Backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said his workload was about the same as Wednesday, when Luck took a rare day off. Hasselbeck said he was certain Luck would play.

Luck was injured in last weekend’s 35-33 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The fourth-year quarterback has never missed a start since the Colts took him with the first pick of the 2012 draft.

Bears hopeful about Cutler

The Chicago Bears hope to get quarterback Jay Cutler back for Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders and are preparing to go with Jimmy Clausen again if he is not ready.

Cutler practiced Thursday on a limited basis for the second consecutive day after sitting out last week’s 26-0 loss at Seattle because of a pulled hamstring. He responded “we’ll see” when asked if he will play against the Raiders.

“We’ve still got a couple days left,” Cutler said. “I don’t think we’re exactly where we want to be. But no one really is 100% healthy right now.”
