Philip Rivers "Threw the Ball Well" at Colts Facility
Free agent quarterback Philip Rivers visited the Colts on Monday night and "threw the ball well," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Rivers turned 44 on Monday as well, and he hasn't played in the NFL since 2020, when he started 16 games for the Colts. On Sunday, the Colts lost Daniel Jones (Achilles) for the season, and his backup Riley Leonard (knee) is considered week-to-week after his knee injury, but coach Shane Steichen said "the hope" is that he'll still be able to play this week. If not, the injuries would leave Brett Rypien as the only healthy QB on the team's roster. Rivers is being considered as a practice squad option at this point, but if Leonard is out, he could be the team's backup this week in Seattle. His comeback story would be a wild one if he returns from retirement, but he isn't much of a realistic fantasy option, despite the drama and potentially fascinating narrative.
