After missing the past two games, it seems that Andrew Luck will make his return tonight.

The 2015 NFL season has not been good for Indianapolis Colts starting quarterback Andrew Luck. The former No. 1 overall pick has played in three games this season, compiling five touchdowns and seven interceptions with a 56.0 completion percentage before suffering a shoulder injury. This has kept him out for the past two games. Veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck took over for him, winning both games.

Tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET, the Colts will be playing their annual rivalry game against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Despite the Colts playing well the past two weeks with Hasselbeck, they need Luck back and it seems he’ll return this evening.

NESN is reporting that Luck will return tonight and start the game against the Patriots, being deemed “good to go.” Luck apparently could have played last Thursday if needed.

While Luck may reportedly be good to go, seeing him in-game action first will be what Colts fans want to see since he has struggled. The Colts are 3-2, though, and sit atop of a week AFC South. The Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans all sit at either 1-3 or 1-4 below them.

Lucky has struggled in his four career starts vs the Patriots. He’s 0-4, including two losses in the NFL playoffs.

Will Luck be able to get back into mid-season form tonight?
