Overview
- Indianapolis signed Rivers this week as a practice-squad emergency quarterback after nearly five years away from NFL action.
- EA Sports reinstated Rivers in Madden at 70 overall with attributes including 83 throw power, 86 short accuracy, 81 medium accuracy, 88 play action, 59 speed, and 65 acceleration.
- His 70 rating ranks above several active quarterbacks, with Shedeur Sanders and Russell Wilson each listed at 69.
- Madden’s social team suggested his rating could climb if he sees the field, referencing his past peak of 96 in the 2012 edition.
- The Colts are weighing whether to start him against Seattle, and he has not thrown an NFL pass since the 2020 season or appeared in a regular-season game since early 2021.
