Colts open 21-day practice window for QB Anthony Richardson

Colts Shane Steichen: Team opening 21-day practice window for Anthony Richardson Sr. this week.

Related Players: Philip Rivers, Riley Leonard

Fantasy Impact:

This opens the possibility that we could see Richardson, potentially in Week 18. If/when the Colts are eliminated from the playoffs, we could assume that Rivers will no longer be taking snaps, and if Richardson logs a full game (however unlikely), he would be an interesting DFS option in the final week of the regular season.

Colts HC Shane Steichen told reporters that Philip Rivers will start again next Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers.

Related players: Anthony Richardson, Riley Leonard

Fantasy Impact:

We reported earlier today Richardson has been cleared to practice, but the team hasn't opened his 21-day window. But even if they do, the team will roll with Rivers in Week 16.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson (orbital bone) cleared to resume activities

Dec 15, 2025 · 1:23 PM EST

The Colts coaxed Philip Rivers out of retirement last week and they may be getting another one of their former starting quarterbacks back on the practice field soon.

According to multiple reports, Anthony Richardson has been cleared to resume football activities. Richardson has been out since fracturing an orbital bone while working out ahead of Indianapolis’ Week 6 game against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact:

The Colts have not formally designated Richardson for return from injured reserve at this point and no word from the team if they plan to do so this week, but that would be a necessary step to get him back into practice, the story went on to say. Of course, that move creates a 21-day window for Richardson to practice with the team.

Turn back the clock: Philip Rivers elevated, will likely start Sunday

The Colts are elevated quarterback Philip Rivers to their active roster, paving the way for Rivers to make his first start in five years against the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact:

This is really happening. 44-year old Rivers is back in the NFL. And because he was elevated to the active roster, he goes from being a Hall of Fame semifinalist to ineligible for another five years, until the Class of 2031. The Colts are desperate to save a season that has completely flipped, having lost four of five and having lost Daniel Jones for the season. Rivers and Brett Rypien are the two healthy quarterbacks on the roster with Riley Leonard dealing with a knee injury.
