"The Colts are planning to sign Chargers legend Philip Rivers, who recently became a grandfather, bringing back the 44-year-old quarterback after five years of retirement. According to multiple reports Tuesday, the franchise intends to sign him to its practice squad in the wake of a season-ending injury to starting quarterback Daniel Jones. An eight-time Pro Bowl selection, Rivers is a Pro Football Hall of Fame semifinalist, and were the Colts to sign him to their active roster it would reset his five-year eligibility clock."
""Philip is the ultimate competitor and the ultimate teammate," said retired NFL offensive lineman Rich Ohrnberger, who blocked for him in San Diego. "Whatever is good for the team, he's going to do and that's what made him such a special player. "If they need him, he's going to be 100% ready. If there's one thing I know about Philip, he wouldn't have even answered the phone if he didn't think he could help.""
The Indianapolis Colts plan to sign 44-year-old Philip Rivers to their practice squad after starting quarterback Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending torn Achilles. Rivers retired after the 2020 season following 16 years with the Chargers and a final season with the Colts, then became a high school head coach in Fairhope, Ala. Rivers is an eight-time Pro Bowl selection and a Pro Football Hall of Fame semifinalist. A move to the active roster would reset his five-year eligibility clock. The Colts began 8-2 but have lost three straight and now turn to rookie Riley Leonard while Anthony Richardson remains on injured reserve. Rivers and his wife have ten children; their son Gunner is a four-star quarterback prospect.
