Colts Sign Veteran Quarterback Philip Rivers to Active Roster
In a surprising turn of events, the Indianapolis Colts have officially added quarterback Philip Rivers to their 53-man roster just in time for their upcoming matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. This move marks a significant moment for both Rivers and the Colts, as the veteran signal-caller returns to the NFL after a brief hiatus.
To accommodate Rivers’ signing, the Colts made a tough decision by placing right tackle Braden Smith on injured reserve. Smith is dealing with both a concussion and a neck injury, raising concerns about his health and availability moving forward.
In addition to Rivers’ arrival, the Colts have also elevated wide receiver Coleman Owen and defensive tackle Chris Wormley from the practice squad, further bolstering their roster ahead of the critical game.
The Colts shared the news on social media, emphasizing their roster adjustments with a tweet that read: “We are signing QB Philip Rivers to the 53-man roster, placing T Braden Smith on IR and elevating WR Coleman Owen and DT Chris Wormley from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.”
As the Colts gear up for their clash with the Seahawks, the addition of Rivers adds an intriguing layer to their offensive strategy. Fans and analysts alike will be keen to see how the seasoned quarterback integrates into the team’s game plan after a year away from the field.
