"The return of Philip Rivers is becoming a dadgum reality. The Indianapolis Colts are planning to add the 44-year-old quarterback to their active roster and start him in Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, according to multiple reports. Rivers, an eight-time Pro Bowl selection and Hall of Fame semifinalist, has not played since calling it a career after the 2020 season."
""It's a real honor to be mentioned with those other 25 guys, certainly," Rivers said of being named a semifinalist. "But I'm not holding my breath on that. I hadn't been counting down the years. With all respect to the Hall, if one day I can be part of that group, it will be special, no question about it. But the extension of that timeline, if that comes to be, was not a factor in my thinking.""
Philip Rivers, 44, will be added to the Indianapolis Colts' active roster and will start Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Rivers has not played since retiring after the 2020 season and had been coaching high school football in Alabama. The Colts sought Rivers after starter Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending torn Achilles and rookie backup Riley Leonard sustained a knee injury, though Leonard practiced fully and may be available. Rivers is an eight-time Pro Bowler and a Hall of Fame semifinalist; joining the roster will reset the five-year retirement clock for Hall of Fame eligibility. Rivers said Hall timing did not influence his decision.
