Progressive would owe you half of your deductible if they recovered anything (even if it was a 'credit' against what they paid). Don't know why they would not bother to recover if they paid 50%, seems like the other company should also have paid 50%. Did the other people have insurance? You do have a right to file a small claims suit to recover all/part of your deductible. Unfortunately, that might cost more in time and aggravation than it's worth since the accident didn't happen close to where you live...
