Overview
- Ehlinger told The Denver Post he weighed a reunion with Indianapolis for roughly 48 hours before deciding to remain on the Broncos’ practice squad.
- The Colts pursued Ehlinger following Daniel Jones’ season-ending Achilles injury, holding extensive talks with his agent as part of a broader quarterback search.
- Indianapolis worked out and signed Philip Rivers to its practice squad, with reporting noting the team has not named a starter for the upcoming game in Seattle.
- Payton said the Broncos are “glad he’s staying,” calling Ehlinger a valued presence who has impressed the staff and fits Denver’s in-season plans.
- Denver retains an in-system emergency option, and Ehlinger’s earlier active-roster status makes him eligible for termination pay that effectively guarantees the league minimum.
