Rivers Considering Comeback with Colts Visit
The Indianapolis Colts are considering a reunion with veteran quarterback Philip Rivers amid recent developments in their roster. Following a season-ending Achilles injury to Daniel Jones, the Colts are set to bring Rivers in for a visit.
Colts’ Quarterback Situation
Sources, including Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport from NFL Network, confirmed that Rivers will undergo a workout for the team. There is potential for him to sign with the Colts’ practice squad, depending on the outcome of this assessment.
Injury Updates
Riley Leonard stepped in last Sunday to replace Jones after his injury. Leonard is projected to start in Week 15, but he is currently facing challenges with a knee injury, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
- Daniel Jones: Season-ending Achilles injury
- Riley Leonard: Expected Week 15 starter; dealing with knee injury
- Anthony Richardson: Sidelined since October; recovery from orbital bone surgery
Philip Rivers’ Return
Rivers celebrated his 44th birthday recently and has not been active in the NFL since 2020. That year, he was the starting quarterback for the Colts. Since retiring, Rivers has been active in coaching at the high school level.
The Colts are weighing their options carefully as they navigate their current quarterback situation. The addition of an experienced player like Rivers could provide valuable leadership during this challenging period.
