Overview
- Head coach Shane Steichen said the starter for Sunday in Seattle remains undecided after Philip Rivers completed a strong week of practice.
- Rivers, 44, was signed to the practice squad this week and has not played since 2020, but coaches said he showed command and threw well.
- Rookie Riley Leonard practiced fully after a knee issue and was described as making really good progress.
- Indianapolis lost Daniel Jones to a season-ending Achilles injury and still has Anthony Richardson on injured reserve with an orbital fracture.
- Seattle brings the NFL’s No. 2 scoring defense and 41 sacks, and the Colts will be without right tackle Braden Smith, drawing criticism from ESPN’s Ryan Clark over the Rivers move.
