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.

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

Beth Holland+FollowReport: Colts to Work Out Philip Rivers as QB Crisis DeepensThe Colts are down bad at QB — and they’re calling an old friend. Indianapolis plans to bring in 8-time Pro Bowler Philip Rivers for a workout, with a possible practice-squad move if he looks game-ready. Context: Daniel Jones is out for the season with a torn Achilles, Riley Leonard is dealing with a knee issue, and Anthony Richardson remains on IR (fractured orbital). Brett Rypien is on the practice squad. Indy’s final four is brutal: @ Seahawks, vs 49ers, vs Jaguars, @ Texans. If Rivers is willing — and passes the eye test — the Colts could make a move fast. #NFL #Colts #PhilipRivers #DanielJones #RileyLeonard #AnthonyRichardson #AFCSouth #QBNews #PlayoffRace 10Share
Richard Thomas+FollowColts’ QB Room Is Down to One Riley LeonardThe Colts’ QB room is suddenly on fumes. Daniel Jones will undergo Achilles surgery, while Anthony Richardson remains on IR with a fractured orbital bone. As a result, Riley Leonard is now the only healthy quarterback on the 53-man roster. Meanwhile, Brett Rypien stays on the practice squad, and the team could add another arm this week. The timing couldn’t be tougher: Indy closes with @ Seahawks, vs 49ers, vs Jaguars, and @ Texans. If Leonard holds the fort and the front office finds help quickly, the Colts can still stay in the wild-card hunt—but the margin for error is paper-thin. #NFL #Colts #RileyLeonard #DanielJones #AnthonyRichardson #AFCSouth #InjuryReport #NextManUp #PlayoffRace 20Share
