Philip Rivers to the Colts? Comeback in 2025! (2026)

The Colts are in a bind after Daniel Jones' season-ending Achilles injury. With the team's once-promising season in jeopardy, they're turning to a familiar face: Philip Rivers. According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, Rivers will visit the Colts tomorrow, with the possibility of joining their practice squad. For now, Riley Leonard will remain Indy's QB1. ESPN's Adam Schefter notes that Rivers is intrigued enough to travel to Indianapolis for a workout, and the Colts have no plans to bring in any other quarterback. This potential move is particularly intriguing given Rivers' age and recent retirement. At 44 years old, he's a semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His potential comeback would be a surprising twist, especially considering his long layoff from the sport. The key factor here is his relationship with Colts head coach Shane Steichen, who worked alongside Rivers during his time with the Chargers. This connection could be the deciding factor in bringing Rivers back to the NFL, despite his age and recent retirement.
