The Indianapolis Colts are dealing with a quarterback crisis after Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending Achilles tear. To address the issue, the team is considering signing eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback Philip Rivers to the practice squad. However, this move may come at the expense of Anthony Richardson, who is on injured reserve with a broken orbital bone. Jones' backup, Riley Leonard, is also dealing with a knee injury and is expected to start this week. The Colts' QB room is in shambles, and fans are calling for Richardson to be traded. With Jones expected to return in 2026, some fans believe that Richardson's time with the team is coming to an end. Rivers, who turned 44 on Monday, played 16 seasons with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers and finished his career with the Colts in 2020. During his time with the team, he threw for over 4,000 yards and led the 11-5 squad to a strong season. The veteran quarterback ranks seventh in NFL history with 63,440 passing yards and sixth with 421 touchdown passes.
