Indianapolis Colts Summary

The Indianapolis Colts have made headlines with the return of veteran quarterback Philip Rivers, who has signed with the team's practice squad. Rivers, 44, last played in the NFL in 2020 and could potentially start for the Colts as injuries have severely impacted their quarterback lineup.

According to various reports, including those from CBS Sports and ESPN, Rivers is a strong candidate to lead the team against the Seattle Seahawks this coming Sunday. Despite being out of the league for several years, Rivers expressed a readiness to return, stating, 'I ain't ran away from anybody anyway.' Meanwhile, the Colts are also grappling with the loss of cornerback Charvarius Ward, who has been placed on injured reserve due to a concussion.

The Colts had previously explored other quarterback options, including Derek Carr, but have ultimately opted for Rivers due to his familiarity with the franchise and its current situation. This decision has sparked discussions about the implications of having the first active grandparent in the NFL, as Rivers aims to defy the odds and contribute to the Colts' playoff push.
