NFL-National Football League roundup

Nov 23 (The Sports Xchange) - The Indianapolis officially ruled out quarterback Andrew Luck for Thursday's night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers because of a concussion. Luck showed symptoms of a concussion on Monday after taking a sack in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans when his head bounced off the turf. - - The Indianapolis Colts re-signed free agent cornerback Darryl Morris and placed cornerback Frankie Williams on the reserve/non-football injury list. Morris, 26, can fill a need in a depleted secondary for Thursday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cornerback Vontae Davis has been dealing with an ankle injury and safety Clayton Geathers is in the concussion protocol. - - Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant and Washington Redskins wideout DeSean Jackson were listed as questionable but both are expected to play in the Thanksgiving Day game. Bryant was listed as a full participant in practice all three days this week but still got the questionable tag on Wednesday's injury report due to a back issue. - - New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is expected to miss his second consecutive game Sunday against the New York Jets as he continues to recover from a chest injury. Gronkowski suffered the injury in a 31-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on "Sunday Night Football" on Nov. 13. He took a hard hit from Seahawks safety Earl Thomas and temporarily had to leave the game in the first half. - - The Cleveland Browns designated quarterback Robert Griffin III to return from injured reserve and he then practiced for the first time since breaking the coracoid bone in his left shoulder during the season opener. Griffin was placed on injured reserve with the shoulder issue on Sept. 12, a day after a season-opening 29-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. RG3 completed 12 of 26 passes for 190 yards with one interception and also rushed for 37 yards in the game. - - The Detroit Lions promoted rookie quarterback Jake Rudock to the active roster. Rudock was drafted by the Lions in the sixth round last season out of the University of Michigan. He played one season for the Wolverines in 2015 after beginning his college career at Iowa, where he was a two-year starter. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
