Overview
- The team made the move official this week and Rivers has already taken part in workouts with the Colts.
- Starter Daniel Jones tore his Achilles and went on injured reserve, Riley Leonard is dealing with a knee issue, and Anthony Richardson remains unavailable.
- Rivers can be elevated under practice-squad rules for Sunday’s game at Seattle, though his activation and any playing time have not been decided.
- ESPN reporting cited by media says his throwing impressed in a workout, but his conditioning needs improvement.
- Rivers will wear No. 17 with Jones’ blessing, returning to the number he used during his previous stint as Indianapolis sits 8-5 and chasing a playoff berth.
