Looks like he has been throwing in secret recently, so he's fine. He would have had pain during that time if so, and it doesn't sound like he has any issues.

yeah, no way that was the first time he threw. he has been doing it behind closed doors for a bit now.

Best news we could hope for.

Four things:

1. This is GREAT news!
2. I never had any doubt that Luck would be ready for TC
3. Watch out the rest of the AFC South
4. Don't think for a minute that Luck will not be throwing regulation footballs between the end of mini-camp and TC

I am not in Indy but the footage I saw was a loop of him 'tossing' 2 non NFL balls.

I don't think anyone knows - even him, if and when he starts throwing a real football on a line, if he will experience any pain or not.

Yes, they have a plan, but you won't know if he's healed until then.

Just keeping it real. (unlike the colts front office last year)

Everything you say is true, but today's news certainly beats him tossing a ball lightly around and being in pain. It's a positive step and shouldn't be trampled on.

I'm certainly no expert on throwing mechanics, but it looked like he's smoothed out the hitch he developed when he first got the shoulder injury.

He said he's already thrown a regulation football.

He said he started throwing reg footballs (the duke) 3 weeks ago in secret to Frank R.....he swore him to secrecy because he needed to get through the mental hurdle first in private and he wanted to be the one to share the news. He said since then he's been throwing several different kinds of balls (including the duke) to simulate and work on different aspects of the throwing mechanics. True today he threw the college size ball but I saw Reggie on NFL Total Access interview and Reggie caught all 10 of his passes and said even through they weren't long passes they had a lot of zip and a very tight spiril.

FWIW, Luck threw some of his public passes yesterday with a regulation NFL ball.
