On Tuesday, the Indianapolis Colts announced a number of roster moves, including placing starting quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) and backup cornerback Chris Lammons (foot) on injured reserve.
The Colts also signed cornerback Cameron Mitchell to the active roster and re-signed cornerback Tony Pride Jr. to the team’s practice squad again.
With veteran cornerback Charvarius Ward also in the concussion protocol, having suffered his third concussion of the season this past Sunday, the Colts clearly
were looking to bolster their cornerback depth with some familiar faces—having both Ward and Lammons out of action for Week 15 on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.
Of course, the big news of the day is that 44-year-old since retired longtime veteran quarterback Philip Rivers was reportedly re-signed, only this time around, to the Colts practice squad.
Rookie quarterback Riley Leonard, who suffered a strained knee ligament during this past Sunday’s loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars, could have his availability determine whether Rivers starts on Sunday. It could also depend on how well Rivers practices the remainder of the week ahead of a notoriously stingy Seahawks defense.
