Colts Plan Tryout for Retired Quarterback Philip Rivers
The Indianapolis Colts are set to conduct a workout for retired quarterback Philip Rivers on Tuesday. This move comes as the team looks for solutions at the quarterback position following a series of injuries.
Quarterback Injuries Impacting the Colts
Starter Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending Achilles tear during a recent loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. His replacement, Riley Leonard, is also facing difficulties with an unspecified knee issue, making him week-to-week.
With Anthony Richardson Sr. currently on injured reserve, the Colts have only Brett Rypien as a backup on their practice squad.
Philip Rivers’ Impressive NFL Career
Philip Rivers last played in the NFL for the Colts during the 2020–21 season. He led the team to an 11-5 record, accumulating 4,169 passing yards along with 24 touchdown passes, and 11 interceptions.
