Colts Quarterback Andrew Luck Is Day-to-Day,

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is day-to-day with a right shoulder injury, coach Chuck Pagano said Wednesday.

Pagano said he has "supreme confidence" that Luck will play in Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Luck took part in warm-ups but only handed the ball off to running backs during individual drills. His right shoulder is his throwing shoulder. Backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck took the majority of the throws to receivers T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief. Quarterback Alex Tanney, signed to the practice squad Tuesday, also threw in practice.

"It didn't feel as good as I would have liked it to after the game [Sunday]," Luck said. "Take it day by day. I expect to play. Hope to know more [Thursday]."

Missing practice time is not normal for Luck. Earlier this season, Hasselbeck called him a "human Jugs machine," referring to the automatic football-throwing device, because Luck likes to take the majority, if not all, of the snaps in practice.

Chicago Bears: Jay Cutler is on the mend. The 32-year-old quarterback is expected to practice again on Thursday, raising hopes that Cutler can return soon from a hamstring injury. The health of Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) will be a hot topic on Thursday after Jeffery practiced in limited fashion on Wednesday. The Bears may have to sign a free-agent punter if Pat O'Donnell's knee injury doesn't improve by week's end. The team is scheduled to re-examine O'Donnell on Thursday before deciding whether to add another punter to the roster for the Raiders game. -- Jeff Dickerson

St. Louis Rams: Running back Todd Gurley is expected to see his role increase as the weeks go on, but he said he has some adjustments to make before he's back at full speed. At Georgia, Gurley rarely ran outsize zone plays, which requires patience he hasn't yet developed. He is also focused on getting his strength up to where it was before the knee injury so he can break tackles. Those are two things to keep an eye on with Gurley moving forward. -- Nick Wagoner
