Overview
- Indianapolis confirmed Daniel Jones tore his right Achilles in Jacksonville and will undergo surgery, ending his 2025 season.
- Coach Shane Steichen said Riley Leonard has a right knee issue and is "hopefully" available to start Sunday against the Seahawks, with his status evaluated week to week.
- NFL Network reported the Colts will bring former Pro Bowler Philip Rivers in Tuesday for a workout and possible practice-squad spot; he last played in 2020.
- The team said there is no plan to activate Anthony Richardson from IR, and Steichen indicated practice-squad veteran Brett Rypien would likely start if Leonard cannot play.
- Indianapolis is exploring short-term quarterback options beyond Rivers, with media noting possibilities such as Joe Flacco if released and other veterans, as an 8-5 club on a three-game skid tries to stabilize its playoff outlook.
