Grandfather-level quarterback Philip Rivers returns to the Colts after retiring
Here he comes! Philip Rivers is back in the NFL, and this time he's still wearing his Indianapolis Colts jerseys! On Tuesday, the Colts added the legendary quarterback, who recently became a grandfather, to their practice roster.
The Colts are currently on a three-game losing streak, bringing their record to 8-4. While that seems optimistic, they've lost Daniel Jones. With four weeks remaining, they face strong opponents like the Seahawks, 49ers, Jaguars, and Texans. Such a grueling schedule makes a losing streak at the end of the season a real possibility. In an attempt to seize any opportunity, Little Horse made this surprising attempt.
Rivers, who has been away from the field for five years, boasts 17 years of experience and eight Pro Bowl selections. He wore the Los Angeles Chargers jerseys for 16 seasons, but his final season was with the Colts. Rivers is currently eligible for Hall of Fame induction, but if activated to the active roster, his candidacy will be deferred for five years.
