The Indy 500 will never leave town.

The Scouting Combine inevitably will.The news that NFL’s annual scouting convention will remain in Indianapolis through 2021 amounts to yet another one-year Band-Aid extension Ryan Grant Color Rush Jersey , with the reality that the reality show will be taken on the road still looming large over the city that has hosted it for decades.The league’s power brokers know it, and some of them already are privately saying it. With the draft becoming a major attraction as it migrates from city to city, the Scouting Combine can, and will, follow suit.It’s just a matter of time, and its time could come as soon as 2022.The decision to move the Combine workouts into prime time is the clearest indication yet that the league is ready to accelerate the Combine into growth mode. And it’s not hard to envision the event playing out on multiple consecutive evenings with a full stadium of fans and a three-letter network audience and thousands of fans milling about outside the stadium and plenty of other bells and whistles aimed at generated hundreds of thousands of dollars and center in a place other than Indianapolis.Currently, the event in Indy barely registers a local blip https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Marshall-Faulk-Jersey , especially in comparison to other NFL major events. While that’s a good thing for those who are working at the Combine, it’s not as good as it can be for the NFL, which knows that it’s leaving money on the table by letting the Combine stay in Indianapolis.It surely won’t be there indefinitely. It may not be there for more than the next two years. And the National Football League will find yet another way to generate millions of dollars during the portion of the calendar when no football games are being played. With less than three weeks to go until Week One, Colts quarterback Andrew Luck won’t practice this week.Via Zak Keefer of TheAthletic.com, coach Frank Reich said Tuesday that Luck will continue to be absent from the team’s practices as the regular-season opener approaches. Luck has still practiced only three times since April.Reich explained that the issue continues to be “full speed movement vs. pain threshold,” via Keefer. The injury continues to be a “high-ankle issue,” a label designated by the team last week after weeks of believing it was a calf strain.Now that the Colts know what the issue is Eric Ebron Jersey , the challenge will be fixing it. And it’s currently not sufficiently fixed to allow Luck to practice.Luck was spotted on the field prior to Saturday’s preseason game against the Browns. He wasn’t in uniform, but ran through enough basic drills to show that, yes, he has two functioning legs.If Luck can’t play, the job vs. the Chargers falls to Jacoby Brissett, who started 15 games in 2017 after a Labor Day weekend trade brought him to Indy from New England.
