According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Indianapolis Colts injured starting quarterback Daniel Jones may face a shorter recovery from his season-ending Achilles surgery than initially expected.

It was first speculated to be at least a 9-month recovery timeline for Jones, who underwent successful surgery to repair his torn Achilles this past Tuesday, which would’ve pushed him closer to the start of the 2026 regular season opener.

However, Schefter reported on Saturday that it could be closer to 6-8 months before returning for Jones, who’s now expected to be cleared by his next team’s training camp:

“Daniel Jones underwent surgery...

The Indianapolis Colts announced that the team has signed recently unretired longtime NFL quarterback Philip Rivers from their practice squad to the 53-man active roster.

It was an expected move that paves the way for the 44-year-old quarterback (and freshly turned grandpa), who was surprisingly re-signed by the Colts earlier this week after not playing football for going on five years, to start this Sunday on the road against the Seattle Seahawks—and their stingy defense.

It also means that Rivers, who was named one of 26 modern-era semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026, will see...

In a week full of surprises that even a Hollywood script writer wouldn’t have thought believable, Ian Rapoport is reporting that the unthinkable is happening tomorrow:

Philip Rivers will start at quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts in 2025 against the vaunted Seattle Seahawks defense. This time last week Colts fans knew their playoff hopes were dwindling after the franchises best start since 2011. Everyone expected it to be a battle led by Daniel Jones. What no one expected was that Jones would tear his Achilles and that Chris Ballard and Shane Steichen would need to scramble to fill a need...

The Indianapolis Colts today released their Friday injury report for Week 15 of the NFL season against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Right tackle Braden Smith has been ruled OUT for this Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks due to neck and concussion injuries. Smith has been unable to practice all week, and therefore, will be unavailable this Sunday. In his place, it will likely be rookie Jalen Travis who starts at right tackle.

Cornerback Sauce Gardner has been ruled OUT for this Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks with a calf injury. Gardner is still rehabbing a calf injury...

Get your popcorn ready because things are about to get good or go terribly wrong. Either way, the scene the Indianapolis Colts are setting due to their reunion with Philip Rivers will be the thing of movies. How could it not be? The man is 44-years old and has been away from the NFL for five years. Yes, he has done some high school coaching, but come on… Rivers has been out of the game so long, almost half the league is comprised of new faces. The Colts are banking on him being their Hail Mary by choosing an unorthodox...

Indianapolis Colts injured starting quarterback Daniel Jones took to his personal Instagram account to communicate a heartfelt thank you to his teammates, the coaching staff, and the Horseshoe Faithful (via The Athletic’s James Boyd):

Of course, Jones deserves a lot of credit and should be lauded for his leadership and toughness, having started and played through a fractured fibula through the team’s last three games. Unfortunately, that fractured fibula in his left leg, may have led to his right leg attempting to overcompensate physically, which buckled, non-contact, late in the first quarter of last Sunday’s road loss to the Jacksonville...

According to ESPN’s Stephen Holder, the Indianapolis Colts are preparing a certain quarterback to start through two consecutive team practices this week, and the projected starting QB1 may surprise some: Philip Rivers.

Despite being 44-years-old and having not played in an NFL game for going on 5 years, and having just re-signed with the Colts earlier this week, it’s the since unretired longtime veteran quarterback, Rivers, who appears as though he’ll get the somewhat surprising nod on the road against a stalwart Seattle Seahawks defense.

It’s not because of rookie quarterback Riley Leonard’s knee injury either, who’s practiced as a...

The Indianapolis Colts today released their Thursday injury report for Week 15 of the NFL season against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Right tackle Braden Smith missed practice again today with neck and concussion injuries. Smith missing both practices already this week almost confirms he will miss this week’s game against the Seahawks. It looks as though it could be a start for rookie Jalen Travis at right tackle this week against a strong Seattle pass rush.

Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner was limited at practice today with a neck injury. Buckner continues to work his way back from a neck...

The Indianapolis Colts today released their Wednesday injury report for Week 15 of the NFL season against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner was a limited participant at practice today with a neck injury. Buckner had been on injured reserve due to a back injury for the past 4 weeks. If the Colts can get him back for the last few weeks of the regular season, it would be a huge boost for the defense.

Cornerback Sauce Garner continues to miss practice this week after sustaining a calf injury two weeks ago. Gardner will likely miss practice...

According to Outkick’s Armando Salguero, the Indianapolis Colts didn’t just reach out to recently re-signed quarterback Philip Rivers among retired veteran options, as the team also reached out to Derek Carr:

“Why are the Colts doing this? Start with the fact they called other quarterbacks to gauge their interest in signing. They called Derek Carr, per a source,” Salguero writes.

The 34-year-old Carr, who’s a decade younger than Rivers, declined the opportunity. The 4x NFL Pro Bowl quarterback played 11 years in the NFL, most notably with the Raiders organization, before retiring this past May due to longstanding pain...

Indianapolis, IN — There’s almost no way to shake the Philip Rivers signing as being the definitive best possible option moving forward, yet somehow the familiarity between him and this current Indianapolis Colts team suggests that maybe it is. The initial absurdity of such a move is undeniably valid, but when you peel back the onion, you see that moving to a 44-year-old quarterback who’s been retired for half a decade isn’t the wildest decision ever.

Will turning to a quarterback who is older than thirteen NFL head coaches, including his own, be crazy, no matter that? Understandable if so....
