Philip Rivers in Excellent Shape as he Comes Out of Retirement
A source close to Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers described the 44-year-old signal-caller as a player who looks to be in better shape now than when he last played in 2020, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. "It's a no-brainer for who gives them the best chance," the source said. The Colts signed Rivers to their practice squad on Tuesday, with Daniel Jones (Achilles) done for the year and rookie Riley Leonard (knee) week-to-week with a PCL sprain. Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) is on Injured Reserve. Rivers, an eight-time Pro Bowler, figures to be Indy's choice to start in Week 15 on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks over Brett Rypien, the only other QB on their roster. In his last NFL action with the Colts in 2020, Rivers led the team to the playoffs and completed 68% of his passes for 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 16 games. Expect the Colts to lean heavily on star running back Jonathan Taylor this weekend and going forward. At best, Rivers will be a low-upside desperation option in superflex leagues in Week 15 if he makes the start.
