"Things happen, wacky stuff has happened in this league, your depth gets tested, your resolve gets tested as you get thrown into some adversity as a unit, as a coaching staff, as a position group, offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said, declining to take specific questions about Rivers. We've been through some fire out there, but our coaching staff's excited to draw a plan up and teach it."
"Rivers hasn't taken a snap since finishing his career with a playoff loss following the Colts' 2020 season. That was the last time Indy (8-5) made the postseason. The eight-time Pro Bowler announced his retirement in January 2021 and has been coaching St. Michael High School in Fairhope, Alabama, ever since. They host the 49ers the following Monday, Dec. 22."
The Indianapolis Colts signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers to the practice squad after injuries sidelined starter Daniel Jones and backup Riley Leonard. Rivers last played in the 2020 playoff loss and announced his retirement in January 2021 before coaching high school football. Rivers is an eight-time Pro Bowler, and it remains unclear how long it will take him to learn the Colts' playbook or regain game shape. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter acknowledged roster adversity and expressed readiness to devise a plan. The Colts are 8-5, in a slide, and face Seattle next weekend.
