Rivers Returns: Colts' Surprising QB Move
The Indianapolis Colts have made a surprising move, activating forty-four-year-old Philip Rivers from their practice squad to start their Week Fifteen game against the Seattle Seahawks. This decision comes after Rivers, who hasnt played in the NFL since two thousand twenty, was signed earlier this week. Rivers will tie Warren Moon, Vinny Testaverde, and Steve DeBerg as the third-oldest quarterback to ever start an NFL game. The Colts decision has generated buzz, as Riley Leonard will now serve as Rivers backup, with Brett Rypien likely filling the emergency third-string role. Rivers faces a tough challenge against the Seattle Seahawks, who boast one of the leagues top defenses. The Seahawks rank second in scoring defense and fourth in sacks, which will certainly test Rivers mobility and arm strength, especially with the Colts right tackle Braden Smith ruled out for the game. Rivers return to active play will also impact his eligibility for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
