Luck missed the next two games after suffering the injury, however, the rib injury was not yet made public.
Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com reports that the Colts announced that this is the first they’ve heard about this injury. If the team was aware of the injury and did not disclose it on the injury report, it could be subject to a penalty, including fines or the loss of a draft pick.

A league spokesman confirmed to Mike Berman of WTTV in Indianapolis that it will investigate whether the Colts were truthful with their injury reports.
