US EditionColts sign 44-year-old QB Philip Rivers in wake of Daniel Jones' season-ending injury
- On Tuesday, Philip Rivers ended his retirement and will sign with the Indianapolis Colts practice squad after working out for the team on Monday, multiple outlets reported.
- With Anthony Richardson on injured reserve, Daniel Jones' season-ending torn Achilles and Riley Leonard's knee issue left Brett Rypien as the only practice-squad quarterback for the Colts.
- A 17-year veteran, Philip Rivers last played in 2020 for the Colts, finishing 11-5 with 4,169 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, and is an eight-time Pro Bowl selection with 63,440 passing yards and 421 career touchdown passes.
- The Colts, 8-5, gain immediate quarterback depth ahead of their Week 15 road game at the Seattle Seahawks, with reports saying Rivers could play sooner rather than later.
- Rivers was named a Pro Football Hall of Fame semifinalist this year, and signing to an active roster would remove him from consideration and delay eligibility by at least five years.
