Reports: Colts to work out former Pro Bowl QB Philip Rivers

Eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback Philip Rivers will visit and work out with the Indianapolis Colts, according to multiple reports Monday.

NFL Network reported that the quarterback-starved Colts could sign Rivers -- who turned 44 Monday -- to the practice squad. He has not played since the 2020 season.

Daniel Jones, who was enjoying a resurgence in his first season with the Colts, suffered a season-ending torn Achilles tendon injury in Sunday's 36-19 loss at Jacksonville. Backup Riley Leonard, who replaced Jones, is dealing with a knee injury, although the 2025 sixth-round draft pick is expected to make the start at Seattle on Sunday.

Former first-round pick Anthony Richardson suffered a broken orbital bone in October and has not been medically cleared to return. Veteran Brett Rypien is on the Colts' practice squad.

After playing 16 seasons with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers, Rivers completed his career with the Colts in 2020. He threw for more than 4,000 yards for the 12th time in 13 seasons, tossing 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions for the 11-5 squad.

Rivers ranks seventh in NFL history with 63,440 passing yards and sixth with 421 touchdown passes.
