Philip Rivers Might Not be Active in Week 18
Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Riley Leonard will start under center in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Houston Texans, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Seth Henigan will be the No. 2 QB. Philip Rivers, who started the team's last three games, is TBD as far as being active. The 44-year-old came out of retirement to help replace Daniel Jones (Achilles), but now that the Colts are out of the playoff picture, they'll take a look at Leonard in Week 18 with an eye toward the future. Rivers already announced that he will retire for a second time following the conclusion of this weekend's games. Arm strength was certainly an issue for Rivers in his return to football in 2025, although he managed to stay healthy and keep the Colts competitive. The eight-time Pro Bowler completed 63% of his pass attempts for 544 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions in three games.
