While most 44-year-olds are too busy tending to their aching knees and complaining about hearing “6-7” 6,767 times a day, Philip Rivers is making a comeback with the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have signed Rivers to their practice squad on Tuesday following the season-ending Achilles injury to Daniel Jones. The move raised not a few […]

With Daniel Jones suffering a season-ending Achilles injury, the Indianapolis Colts needed to find an answer at quarterback. They made the shocking decision to sign veteran Philip Rivers.

The Indianapolis Colts cannot stay healthy at the quarterback position. Daniel Jones suffered a torn Achilles on Sunday, which will end his 2025 season.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is one of the most decorated players to ever suit up under center in the NFL.
