Anthony Richardson

Colts QB Anthony Richardson attended practice Wednesday for the first time in a while. His IR status keeps him off the injury report for the week, but video shows him wearing a red, non-contact jersey. That indicates some level of participation. Richardson has been out since suffering an orbital-bone fracture (eye socket) before the Week 6 win over the Cardinals.

The Indianapolis Colts have not ruled out starting Philip Rivers at quarterback after luring the grandfather out of retirement amid an injury crisis. The Colts lost starter Daniel Jones for the season after he tore his achilles on Sunday, while their first-round pick in 2023, Anthony Richardson, is out with a broken orbital bone he suffered in October. With backup Riley Leonard dealing with a knee injury, the Colts turned to the 44-year-old Rivers, who retired at the end of the 2020 season.

The 44-year-old Rivers signed with the Colts on Tuesday and could be immediately thrust into the starting role. With Daniel Jones out for the season, Anthony Richardson still dealing with an eye injury, and Riley Leonard now dealing with a "Grade 1 PCL injury", Rapoport says there is "a very real chance that Rivers is the starting quarterback for the Colts this Sunday." We will see how Rivers practices having been out of the league for nearly five seasons, but the Colts may be making the move to start him as soon as Week 15 against the Seahawks.

The Colts have Anthony Richardson on injured reserve and will have Daniel Jones on injured reserve later this week.
