Andrew Luck Leads Colts Past Jaguars The Indianapolis Colts became the latest team to hand the Jacksonville Jaguars a crushing home loss, winning, 27-10, on Thursday night behind two rushing touchdowns from the rookie quarterback Andrew Luck. Darius Butler returned an interception for a score, and the Colts (6-3) won their fourth consecutive game. The Jaguars (1-8) have lost six straight. The Colts had cause for concern, having earned an emotional victory four days earlier. After that game, Coach Chuck Pagano, who has leukemia, delivered a passionate speech in the locker room. The interim coach, Bruce Arians, was worried the team might crash from the emotional high. Instead, Indianapolis scored on three consecutive possessions in the first half, opening a 17-0 lead that started sending fans at EverBank Field to the exits. ADDITIONAL COMBINES SET The N.F.L. will hold 10 regional combines and a super-regional combine, the first of them late in January. The regionals are a supplement to the N.F.L."s national scouting combine in Indianapolis in late February. Regional combines are conducted specifically for players eligible for the 2013 draft who are not attending the Indianapolis combine; players with college playing experience who want to gauge their professional potential; and players with some professional playing experience who have been out of the game for a period of time. SEYMOUR MAY SIT OUT Oakland defensive lineman Richard Seymour missed his second straight practice because of a lingering hamstring injury and was questionable to play Sunday. Seymour was already on a light practice schedule because of his troublesome knees. Neither Seymour nor Coach Dennis Allen sounded too optimistic about the prospects of Seymour's playing against the Ravens. BILLS LINEMAN MAY BE OUT Buffalo defensive end Chris Kelsay hurt his neck in practice, leaving his status uncertain for Sunday's game at New England. Coach Chan Gailey provided few details except to say Kelsay was having tests; he said he would know more on Friday. Receiver Stevie Johnson (bruised thigh) and defensive tackle Kyle Williams (ankle) returned to practice, and both are expected to play. TILLMAN INDICATES HE'LL PLAY Chicago cornerback Charles Tillman said on Twitter that he would play Sunday against Houston after all. Tillman's status had been up in the air since he told the Chicago radio station WSCR-AM that he might not be available because his wife, Jackie, was set to give birth to the couple's fourth child. In a message to ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike in the Morning" show, he wrote: "god, family, football... Baby is coming Monday don't worry I'll be there Sunday. ROOKIES CONTRIBUTE Before Thursday night's game between Indianapolis and Jacksonville, there had been 503 games started by first-year players this season, the highest total through Week 9 since at least 1991, according to Stats L.L.C. As recently as 15 years ago, there were fewer than half that many. Stats said the 10,089 passing yards accumulated by first-year players lead the way at this point in a season for any year since the 1970 A.F.L.-N.F.L. merger. This class's 5,716 rushing yards are the most since the merger except for the strike year of 1987, when replacement players inflated the statistics. MAN SENTENCED IN DEATH A 19-year-old man pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter stemming from the heroin-overdose death of the 18-year-old son of the former quarterback Erik Kramer. The man, David Michael Nernberg, was sentenced to five years of probation and 90 days of community service. Kramer's son, Griffen, died Oct. 31, 2011. AROUND THE LEAGUE Detroit receiver Calvin Johnson said his knee was feeling better than it did at this time last week. ... Minnesota receiver Percy Harvin, who has a sprained left ankle, was still hobbling around and appeared to be a long shot to practice Friday. Running back Adrian Peterson also missed practice Thursday with an illness but was expected to play Sunday.
