INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck is tired of talking football.Hes ready to actually play.Sure, Saturdays game against Baltimore is only a preseason opportunity to match wits with one of the leagues traditionally strong defenses. Yes, its at home, where he hasnt suited up in more than nine months. And, of course, hes eager to prove hes back to his old self.The Colts quarterback just doesnt want to make more of it than necessary.Its another step, Luck said Tuesday. In any seasons journey, regardless of what happened the previous year, it will be good to step on the field and run some plays with the guys.This year is different, though.Many fans have eagerly awaited Lucks return from an injury-marred 2015, a season in which the three-time Pro Bowler went 2-5 as the starter, was on pace to throw far more interceptions than any of his previous three seasons in the league and failed to make the playoffs for the first time. Initially, it looked like the comeback journey would begin Aug. 7 at Canton, Ohio -- until the game was canceled because of unsafe field conditions.Last week, coach Chuck Pagano implied that his starters were likely to play one or two series as had been the case in previous seasons. Eventually, he decided not to take any chances with Luck on a rainy day Buffalo or against the Bills blitz-happy defense.The next chance comes this weekend, and all indications are that Luck will finally play.I assume so, he said with a laugh.If Luck he does make it onto the field Saturday, the to-do list will be long.First, he must get acclimated to taking snaps under game conditions from rookie center Ryan Kelly, the Colts first-round draft pick. Kelly played 15 snaps in last weekends 19-18 victory over the Bills.It will mark the first time Luck runs Rob Chudzinskis revamped offense against an opponent. Chudzinski took over as coordinator when Pep Hamilton was fired in November but waited until the offseason to install his entire offense.This game also could be the first real test of how the new play-calling system works. Chudzinski intends to take advantage of a rules change that allows coordinators to call plays from the coaches booth directly to the quarterback. Previously, play calls from the coaches box had to be called to sideline and relayed to the quarterback.While Luck cant wait to get back to work and beyond some of the lingering questions about his health and performance, some teammates are excited to see Luck play for the first time since sustaining a lacerated kidney against Denver on Nov. 8.Absolutely, I want to see him play, Pro Bowl linebacker Robert Mathis said. Hes our franchise quarterback.Pagano acknowledged Tuesday that the Colts were pretty vanilla in their play-calling last weekend and has not dropped any hints about whether that will change with Luck presumably behind center. He is keeping the play-count on Luck a secret, too.Receiver T.Y. Hilton, Lucks favorite target, doesnt expect Luck to be rusty after such a long absence.Thats what OTAs and minicamps are for, Hilton said. Hes ready and I want him out there.Luck wants to be out there leading and inspiring his teammates for as long as he can -- just like any other game.Ive always thought that the first preseason game as a rookie is a special, special thing. Its the first time you go and put on a uniform, then after that they are all somewhat the same in a sense, Luck said. Its not to downplay any of them, there are things you get better at. Winning regular season games is the important thing.Note: The Colts released veteran receiver Josh Boyce on Tuesday. Afterward, Pagano said the Colts were hoping to get more looks at the receivers currently on the roster -- and perhaps a free agent they may sign before Saturday.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Marco Asensio Jersey .com) - The Chicago Blackhawks aim for their third three-game winning streak of the season when they host the struggling Edmonton Oilers in Sundays battle at the United Center. Pepe Reina Jersey . The veteran safety was a starter for the Bengals from 2008-2012. He totaled 41 tackles and three interceptions while starting all but four of the 13 games he played last season. http://www.spainsoccerpro.com/Nolito-Spain-Jersey/ . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep.

Supported by three-run homers from Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos, the young right-hander went seven strong innings in the Washington Nationals 8-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. Chicago Cubs slugger Kris Bryant has been voted the National League MVP, capping off a historic season for the 24-year-old star.Bryant received 29 of a possible 30 first-place votes.?Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy was the runner-up. Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager, who was the unanimous winner of the NL Rookie of the Year award on Monday, finished third.?This year has certainly been one of the best years of my life, said Bryant, who is set to get married in January. I mean, winning a World Series, now this. Its just icing on the cake.Voting by the Baseball Writers Association of America was completed by the start of the playoffs. The BBWAA has voted for the award since 1931.Bryant was arguably the best offensive player on the best team in the game and showed exceptional defensive versatility by playing in both the infield and the outfield.He hit .292 with 39 homers and 102 RBIs in just his second year in the majors, helping the Cubs to their first World Series title since 1908.Bryant led the National League with a 7.67 WAR and was the only NL player in the top 10 in that category. He also ranked third in the NL in home runs (39), fourth in OPS (.939) and sixth in RBIs (102).?The 2015 NL Rookie of the Year, Bryant also led the league in runs scored with 121.KKris is just an impressive young man in every aspect, Cubs owner Tom Ricketts said.dddddddddddd. [He] is very mature, professional, light-hearted, but serious at the same time. Hes just kind of a dream player for any organization.Bryant becomes the Cubs first MVP since Sammy Sosa won the award in 1998. The once-forlorn franchise enjoyed its best run in decades and also had two of the seasons top MVP candidates, with Bryants teammate, first baseman?Anthony Rizzo, finishing fourth in the voting.If it wasnt for Anthony and his protection and guidance, I wouldnt have won this award, Bryant said. I mean, he texted me, and I said the same thing to him. I said, If it wasnt for you, I wouldnt have been able to do this.Bryant joins Dustin Pedroia (2007-08), Ryan Howard (2005-06) and Cal Ripken (1982-83) as the only players to win Rookie of the Year and MVP honors in consecutive seasons. Ichiro Suzuki (2001) and Fred Lynn (1975) are the only players to win the awards in the same year.He was the unanimous NL Rookie of the Year after he hit .275 with 26 homers and 99 RBIs last season.Information from The Associated Press and ESPNs Jesse Rogers contributed to this report.
