Luck sat out the whole of the previous campaign with a shoulder injury and a blindside hit in the second quarter of the 20-19 preseason defeat to the Baltimore Ravens courtesy of Suggs sucked the air out of Lucas Oil Stadium for a few brief moments.
But the 28-year-old popped straight back up off the turf, congratulated the Ravens outside linebacker on the hit and was pleased to come away unscathed.
He said: “I told someone after the game, ‘I’m sort of happy to get sacked by Suggs, a legit sack.’
“I landed on my right elbow, sort of reminiscent of how I injured my shoulder a couple of years ago.
“I didn’t feel anything, didn’t even give it a second thought. I think maybe that’s actually a big deal for me, to sort of lose that thought bubble if you will.”
Luck went six of 13 with 50 passing yards and one interception. The first-team offense netted only 44 yards, but the quarterback said he was “very encouraged” and added: “I feel great.”
The Colts continue their preseason against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday.
