The build-up for a potential historic return to the football field is on the horizon. Longtime San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers signed with the Indianapolis Colts this week for a chance to start at quarterback. The Colts are hoping that Rivers can keep them on the track to making the playoffs.
The Colts battle with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon, which will have a ton of eyes watching. People want to see the 44-year-old sling the rock; however, his status to start is still up in the air. There is a good chance we will find out on Saturday if Rivers will start or not, according to Tom Pelissero.
Pelissero joined the Rich Eisen Show to discuss the ongoing development.
“The final decision, from what I understand, is not going to come until at least Saturday on Philip Rivers. Which makes sense.”
“He’s 44, I’m 44, I’m not attempting to play in the NFL, but anytime I undertake any physical activity that I have not done in a while, when I go out to briefly shovel a little bit of my driveway that might not have been cleared off well enough, if I lift any boxes, or if I get out of bed a certain way. I wait until the next day to see, am I going to be feeling this for a while here. Did I injure anything?”
“They are trying to be as deliberate as they can with Philip Rivers.”
As seen during the week, Rivers was thrown out there and was splitting reps with the first-team. It is very possible that Rivers may need another week to practice before playing in a game.
Stay tuned for the final decision, which could come on Saturday, one day before the highly anticipated game.
