Colts Plan Philip Rivers Workout After Daniel Jones’ Season-Ending Achilles Tear

Indianapolis faces a quarterback shortage with Riley Leonard limited, Anthony Richardson on injured reserve.

Overview

  • Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Daniel Jones tore his right Achilles and will undergo surgery within the week.
  • Rookie Riley Leonard sustained a right knee injury and is described as "hopefully" available to face the Seahawks.
  • Steichen said Brett Rypien would probably start if Leonard cannot play, while Anthony Richardson will not be activated this week.
  • The Colts will bring 44-year-old Philip Rivers in Tuesday for a workout with a possible practice-squad addition under consideration, per NFL Network.
  • Indianapolis is evaluating additional veteran options, with some contingent on releases such as Joe Flacco, as models show declining playoff odds against a tough closing schedule.
