Philip Rivers making an attempted NFL comeback with the Colts at 44 years old isn’t inspiring Tom Brady to get back on the field. Rivers will start for Indianapolis on Sunday against the Seahawks as quarterback Daniel Jones is sidelined with a torn Achilles.

Ahead of his first football game in nearly five years, the Indianapolis Colts' decision to sign quarterback Philip Rivers evidently doesn’t have the full support of ESPN NFL analyst Ryan Clark, who called the franchise “incompetent” and “irresponsible” after bringing Rivers out of retirement.

The extended time in retirement, Rivers' age and the quick ramp-up period raise questions about whether the former Colts and Chargers standout would be proficient in leading an offense in 2025. Indianapolis is desperate to find out after Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending Achilles injury, and Rivers has something to prove to himself.

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer says the Indianapolis Colts are in uncharted territory at quarterback: 'This feels pretty unprecedented.'

When it was announced that the Indianapolis Colts were kicking the tires on 44-year-old Philip Rivers five years removed from his retirement, Cam Newton took it personal. After losing Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson Sr.

On Tuesday of this week, Daniel Jones underwent surgery on the Achilles tear which brought an early end to his 2025 season. A recovery timeline has now emerged for the pending free agent.

Daniel Jones addressed Indianapolis Colts fans with an emotional message about what wearing the horseshoe meant to him.
