Still searching for their backup QB plan.

In the meantime...

"Matt Hasselbeck could be the Colts' starting quarterback for up to six weeks as Andrew Luck recovers from a lacerated kidney. But his brother, Tim Hasselbeck, doesn't necessarily think that's a good thing.

Tim Hasselbeck expressed concern for his older brother Tuesday on ESPN, saying he thinks it's going to be tough for a 40-year-old quarterback to endure the pounding of six weeks as a starting quarterback in the NFL.

"They have a 40-year-old backup that maybe has to play for six weeks, get you all the way to Week 16 of the NFL season before you potentially get Andrew Luck back, Hasselbeck said, via Pro Football Talk.

"I know my brother played well in the two games he started this season, but I think anyone can attest ... it's one thing when it's a shorter injury and you have a backup that's going to play one week, two weeks, three weeks maybe.

"We're in a situation where they have a 40-year-old quarterback that's potentially going to play half of their football games this year. Half of them!"

Despite his age, Hasselbeck has already started two games for Luck earlier this season, and filled in admirably completing 63.8 percent of his passes for 495 yards and three touchdowns.

Hey, RG3 is probably available. He hasn’t been too busy recently.
