Overview
- Indianapolis signed Rivers to the practice squad Tuesday after a Monday night workout in which he "threw the ball well," according to multiple reports.
- Starter Daniel Jones is out for the season with a torn right Achilles, rookie Riley Leonard is week-to-week with a knee injury, and Anthony Richardson remains on injured reserve.
- The Colts have not decided whether to elevate Rivers to the active roster or play him in Week 15 at Seattle, with discussions described as ongoing as the 8-5 team tries to steady a three-game slide.
- Elevating Rivers to the 53-man roster would restart his Hall of Fame eligibility clock, whereas staying on the practice squad would not.
- Rivers, 44, last played in 2020 and has familiarity with coach Shane Steichen’s offense from their years together with the Chargers.
