Andrew Luck clears concussion protocol, will start vs. Jets

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will start Monday night against the New York Jets.

Luck was a full participant at practice Friday, strongly suggesting he was on the verge of being cleared after a one-game absence. Scott Tolzien started in place of Luck for the Colts' Thanksgiving loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Colts also got good news Saturday with regards to the status of T.Y. Hilton. It appears likely the team's top receiver will be a go for Monday night after practicing without limitations on Friday and Saturday. He is currently listed as questionable with a back injury.

Among the Colts players ruled out of Monday's game is safety Clayton Geathers, who has yet to clear the NFL's concussion protocol.
