Indianapolis Colts Summary
Full Transcript
The Indianapolis Colts have made significant roster moves this week, notably placing quarterback Daniel Jones on injured reserve due to a torn Achilles, effectively sidelining him for the remainder of the season.
This development prompted the Colts to sign veteran quarterback Philip Rivers to their practice squad. Rivers, who turned 44 on Monday, is coming out of retirement after almost five years and is now in a position to potentially start for the Colts as they navigate a critical stretch of the season.
The team is currently 8-5 and struggling to maintain playoff contention, with Rivers viewed as a stopgap solution amidst uncertainty at the quarterback position following Jones's injury. In addition, the Colts also placed backup cornerback Chris Lammons on injured reserve.
With Rivers' signing, speculation arises about his readiness and ability to lead the team on the field once again.
