ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky believes the Colts should start Riley Leonard at quarterback in Week 15 over Philip Rivers

The Indianapolis Colts reportedly checked in with a different veteran quarterback before signing Philip Rivers on Tuesday.

Pittman admitted he was “definitely a little surprised” the Colts brought Rivers out of retirement.

Philip Rivers could try to hold off a close pursuer in career passing yards and reset the clock on his Hall of Fame consideration.

Philip Rivers has been an instant success as a high school football coach in Alabama. His team will be cheering him on in his surprising NFL return.

On Monday night, NFL Network reported that the Colts were bringing in Rivers for a workout in the wake of the team's quarterback injuries. Jones suffered an Achilles tear, while rookie Riley Leonard—who's just a bit older than Rivers's oldest kid, Halle—is dealing with an injury. The Colts also have Brett Rypien on the practice squad.
