Edwin French+FollowPhilip Rivers says he's grateful for “three bonus games” he never saw comingColts QB Philip Rivers acknowledged that Sunday’s game might have been his final NFL appearance after coming out of retirement this season. He said if it was the last one, he’s completely at peace with it — and grateful for “three bonus games I never saw coming.” At age 44, Rivers’s unexpected comeback gave Colts fans something memorable this season, even though Indianapolis lost all three of his starts. For a guy who retired after 17 seasons and had already come to terms with the end of his career, getting these extra chances was something he said he couldn’t be more thankful for. #NFL #PhilipRivers #Colts #NFLComeback #Gratitude #Football 70Share

Pamela Owens+FollowCam Newton calls Colts’ Rivers move “a slap in my face”The former MVP says Indy signing 44-year-old Philip Rivers before even calling him was disrespectful.

Meanwhile, the Colts have officially added Rivers to the practice squad as they navigate QB injuries. Fair or not, Indy made its choice—now we find out if Rivers has juice left…and if Cam gets a call next. #Colts #CamNewton #PhilipRivers #NFL #QBNews1018Share

He told The Denver Post he’s “really happy” in Denver and wants to stay with what they’re building.

Beth Holland+FollowTom Brady Says He Could Still Play QBOn The Herd, Tom Brady joked about Philip Rivers unretiring, then admitted he “certainly could” still run an NFL offense in 2025 if he knew the system. The catch? He’s a minority owner of the Raiders, which bars him from unretiring. Brady’s last season (age 45) was no farewell tour — 4,694 yards, 25 TD, 7 INT and an NFC South title — so the confidence tracks. For now, he’ll be rooting for Rivers from the booth. #NFL #TomBrady #PhilipRivers #Raiders #TheHerd #QBNews #ComebackTalk30Share
BriskBumble+FollowRivers secretly prepping for Colts comebackThis is absolutely brilliant! Rivers wasn't just sitting around in retirement - the man was running intel ops through his son's high school team! Weekly calls with Steichen, studying film, perfecting the same offensive scheme the Colts run. At 44, most QBs are done, but Rivers has been playing chess while everyone thought he was just being a dad. With Leonard hurt, we might actually see this mastermind back under center. The preparation level is insane - this isn't some desperate Hail Mary, it's a calculated comeback. What do you think - genius move or too little too late? #Sports #Football #PhilipRivers00Share
Nicholas Buchanan+FollowColts’ New QB Is Older Than His CoachesPhilip Rivers (44) just joined Indy…and he’s older than HC Shane Steichen (40) and OC Jim Bob Cooter (41). For bonus perspective: his new center Tanor Bortolini was 1 year, 10 months old when Rivers was drafted. Vintage arm, baby-faced sideline. Football is wild. #NFL #Colts #PhilipRivers #ShaneSteichen #JimBobCooter #TanorBortolini #QBNews20Share
Patty Mills+FollowHe’s Back: Colts Sign Philip Rivers to the Practice SquadIndianapolis is patching the QB room with a familiar name. The Colts are signing Philip Rivers to the practice squad, per multiple reports. With Daniel Jones out (Achilles), Anthony Richardson still on IR, and Riley Leonard the lone healthy QB on the 53, Indy adds the 8-time Pro Bowler as insurance heading into a brutal finish (@ Seahawks, vs 49ers, vs Jaguars, @ Texans). If the workout goes well and the ramp-up looks good, a quick elevation isn’t off the table. #NFL #Colts #PhilipRivers #QBNews #DanielJones #AnthonyRichardson #RileyLeonard #AFCSouth #PlayoffRace20Share
