The health of franchise quarterback Andrew Luck remains a concern for the Indianapolis Colts, who open the season Sunday at home against the Detroit Lions.Luck missed nine games last season, including the final seven, after suffering a lacerated kidney and a partially torn abdominal muscle in a 27-24 loss to the Denver Broncos on Nov. 8. The Colts went 4-3 down the stretch without Luck but were not the same team.Luck is back and expected to start Sunday against the Lions, but he did pop up on the Colts injury report released Wednesday. He was listed as limited in practice with a shoulder injury.Luck missed two games last season with a shoulder injury. Initial media reports downplayed Lucks appearance on the injury report, but it is an obvious concern for Colts fans heading into Week 1, especially noting the other injury issues the team is battling.Our No. 1 corner, Vontae (Davis) is out, Pagano said. And Pat (Robinson) is our No. 2 (cornerback) and hes been out. Jalil (Brown) has been out. You can go on down the line, especially with Tevin (Mitchel) out. And with the chance to evaluate him, he tweaks his hamstring again (against Cincinnati in the final preseason game). Mitchel was placed on reserve/injured in the roster reduction to 53.Weve had some line issues, Pagano added. Theres nothing that we can do about it. We have to get healthy, and healthy in a hurry. Because the 11th is going to be here before we know it. It makes it difficult to get to that 53. We got some guys that we are hopeful that we get back.The Lions have their own concerns after finishing 7-9 last season, missing the playoffs and then having star wide receiver Calvin Johnson retire in the offseason.Johnson played all nine of his NFL seasons with the Lions, teaming up with quarterback Matt Stafford to form one of the most feared quarterback-receiver combinations in the NFL. He elected to hang up his cleats in the offseason, leaving the Lions wondering what life after Megatron will be like.Wide receiver Golden Tate will be looked to fill Johnsons shoes in part, and more pressure will be placed on Stafford, who could use of standout season to silence some of his critics. He completed 67.2 percent of his passes for 4,262 yards with 32 touchdowns and 13 interceptions last season. But he was sacked 44 times and now faces a future without his go-to weapon.The emergence of second-year running back Ameer Abdullah also would be a blessing for coach Jim Caldwells offense that averaged a mediocre 22.1 points per game last season. But, similar to the banged-up Colts, there are more questions than answers right now for the Lions, who are expected to be among the bottom-feeders in the NFC.Listen, what does buzz do? Lions backup quarterback Dan Orlovsky said. Theres a lot of teams that have generated a ton of buzz and stink. Eventually, youve got to go out on the field 16 times and play. So they dont give awards, you dont get into the playoffs, you dont get all that stuff and good records because people think youre going to be good or not be good.Youve got to go play. Youve got to go play. No matter what happens, youve got to go line up and play.Caldwell spent 10 seasons on the Colts staff, the last three as head coach, before being fired in January 2012. He took Peyton Manning and the Colts to the Super Bowl in his first season in Indianapolis, losing the New Orleans Saints. Sundays game will be his first at Lucas Oil Stadium since being let go.Tate, who caught 90 passes, including six touchdowns playing alongside Johnson last season, was listed as limited with an ankle injury on the Lions injury report released Wednesday.Detroit tight end Eric Ebron missed a month of the preseason with an ankle injury but has returned to practice this week and reportedly was not limited.The Lions and Colts have not met in the regular season since 2012.

BOSTON -- Cross off one item from the Boston Red Soxs lengthy trade-deadline shopping list.Seeking a right-handed bat for their lefty-leaning bench and greater infield depth, the Red Sox acquired veteran Aaron Hill on Thursday from the Milwaukee Brewers for Triple-A right-hander Aaron Wilkerson and Double-A infielder Wendell Rijo. The Brewers will also help subsidize some of the approximately $6 million left on the final year of Hills contract, half of which was already being paid by the Arizona Diamondbacks.Weve been looking for a right-handed hitter infielder that could play third base for a while, said Dave Dombrowski, the Red Sox president of baseball operations. Were in a position where were trying to win this thing. We think [Hill] makes us better.Hill, 34, has played primarily third base for the Brewers this season. Dombrowski stopped short of saying Hill will platoon with lefty-hitting third baseman Travis Shaw, but considering Shaw is batting .211 with a .620 OPS against lefties, it seems likely Hill will take some of those at-bats.Shaw also bruised his left foot in Wednesday nights 11-6 victory over the Texas Rangers. But Dombrowski said the Red Sox were talking to the Brewers about Hill long before Shaw suffered the injury, which is not considered serious after X-rays taken Thursday were negative.Dombrowski can now concentrate exclusively on strengthening the pitching staff, both the rotation and the bullpen. Red Sox starters have combined for a 4.82 ERA, 10th in the American League entering Thursday night. And setup man Carson Smiths season-ending Tommy John elbow surgery has left Boston in need of another late-inning reliever to ease the burden on 41-year-old Koji Uehara.That fourth and fifth [starter] spot, weve been searching, Dombrowski said. We have had more conversations over pitching. Im not sure that means were any closer tto making a deal or not.ddddddddddddIn acquiring Hill, the Red Sox seemingly traded from their limited pitching depth. Although Wilkerson is having a strong season -- 2.14 ERA in 16 starts between Double-A and Triple-A -- Dombrowski said the former independent league pitcher was never a serious candidate to get called up because of his lack of major league experience.Indeed, when the Red Sox needed a starter last week and neither Henry Owens nor Roenis Elias were pitching well enough in Triple-A to merit consideration, they bypassed Wilkerson for Sean OSullivan, whose 5.99 career ERA was outweighed by his 55 starts in the big leagues.I dont think we could count on Aaron being a guy stepping forward in this situation, Dombrowski said. Being [he has] never pitched in the big leagues, to be a key factor in this race.Hill batted .283 with eight homers, 29 RBIs and a .780 OPS in 254 at-bats for the out-of-contention Brewers. Although Hill has been an everyday player for most of his career, the Red Sox expect he will be productive off the bench.Dombrowski said the Red Sox got good reports on Hill from third-base coach Brian Butterfield, who coached Hill with the Toronto Blue Jays. Hill also played briefly for manager John Farrell in Toronto and is close friends with Red Sox scout Jaymie Bane.Its a situation that we did check with everybody and got real good reports on his makeup and what he brings to the ballclub, Dombrowski said. Hes got a nice swing. Hes a veteran player who knows how to keep himself in shape and ready to go.To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, outfielder Ryan LaMarre has been designated for assignment. LaMarre was 0-for-5 with two strikeouts after getting called up from Triple-A Pawtucket last month.
