Old man Rivers on a run through Indy

|December 10, 2025
Hall of Fame-bound quarterback, who last played in 2020, set to join practice squad.
DAVID RICHARD Associated Press PHILIP Rivers, 44, is the "ultimate competitor."
These are not your grandfather’s Indianapolis Colts.
Or perhaps they are.
The Colts are planning to sign Chargers legend Philip Rivers, who recently became a grandfather, bringing back the 44-year-old quarterback after five years of retirement.
According to multiple reports Tuesday, the franchise intends to sign him to its practice squad in the wake of a season-ending injury to starting quarterback Daniel Jones.
An eight-time Pro Bowl selection, Rivers is a Pro Football Hall of Fame semifinalist, and were the Colts to sign him to their active roster, it would reset his five-year eligibility clock.
