Richard Thomas+FollowColts’ QB Room Is Down to One Riley LeonardThe Colts’ QB room is suddenly on fumes. Daniel Jones will undergo Achilles surgery, while Anthony Richardson remains on IR with a fractured orbital bone. As a result, Riley Leonard is now the only healthy quarterback on the 53-man roster. Meanwhile, Brett Rypien stays on the practice squad, and the team could add another arm this week. The timing couldn’t be tougher: Indy closes with @ Seahawks, vs 49ers, vs Jaguars, and @ Texans. If Leonard holds the fort and the front office finds help quickly, the Colts can still stay in the wild-card hunt—but the margin for error is paper-thin. #NFL #Colts #RileyLeonard #DanielJones #AnthonyRichardson #AFCSouth #InjuryReport #NextManUp #PlayoffRace 20Share
Patty Mills+FollowHe’s Back: Colts Sign Philip Rivers to the Practice SquadIndianapolis is patching the QB room with a familiar name. The Colts are signing Philip Rivers to the practice squad, per multiple reports. With Daniel Jones out (Achilles), Anthony Richardson still on IR, and Riley Leonard the lone healthy QB on the 53, Indy adds the 8-time Pro Bowler as insurance heading into a brutal finish (@ Seahawks, vs 49ers, vs Jaguars, @ Texans). If the workout goes well and the ramp-up looks good, a quick elevation isn’t off the table. #NFL #Colts #PhilipRivers #QBNews #DanielJones #AnthonyRichardson #RileyLeonard #AFCSouth #PlayoffRace20Share
Beth Holland+FollowReport: Colts to Work Out Philip Rivers as QB Crisis DeepensThe Colts are down bad at QB — and they’re calling an old friend. Indianapolis plans to bring in 8-time Pro Bowler Philip Rivers for a workout, with a possible practice-squad move if he looks game-ready. Context: Daniel Jones is out for the season with a torn Achilles, Riley Leonard is dealing with a knee issue, and Anthony Richardson remains on IR (fractured orbital). Brett Rypien is on the practice squad. Indy’s final four is brutal: @ Seahawks, vs 49ers, vs Jaguars, @ Texans. If Rivers is willing — and passes the eye test — the Colts could make a move fast. #NFL #Colts #PhilipRivers #DanielJones #RileyLeonard #AnthonyRichardson #AFCSouth #QBNews #PlayoffRace 10Share
