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.

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 sign QB Philip Rivers to practice squad

He’s actually doing it.

After retiring following the 2020 season, 44-year-old Philip Rivers is signing with the Colts’ practice squad after working out with the club on Monday night, according to multiple reports.

Fantasy Impact:

You know the deal by now about the Colts QB situation. As the story said, we’ll see if Rivers is available for Sunday when the Colts head to Seattle. It's just not known yet if Rivers would start over Leonard and Rypien or would just be there as an emergency QB. As we reported earlier today, Rivers has worked with young QBs about to enter the NFL Draft, so he could be there as extra support for Leonard if he plays. One interesting note about a potential Rivers return, according to the story, whether Rivers gets on the field will affect his candidacy for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Rivers was named as one of 15 semifinalists for the class of 2026. His candidacy will reset if he signs to Indianapolis’ active roster, the story said.

Colts QB Riley Leonard has Grade 1 PCL sprain

Colts QB Riley Leonard has a Grade 1 PCL sprain.

Related players: Philip Rivers, Brett Rypien

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport said, "that's not the bad kind" in reference to the sprain, but Leonard's status is still up in the air for Week 15. The plan is for Rivers to join the practice squad and Leonard would start if he could, according to the post. Rapoport also said there is a chance Leonard wouldn't be able to play, but didn't say who would start if that was the case. Rapoport added Rivers has helped to work with young QBs before the NFL Draft, a list that includes Drake Maye, Bo Nix … and Leonard. Rapoport also added that Rivers - who as we just reported - actually worked out on Monday night for the Colts, and he could also serve as another set of eyes and ears for Leonard - as he did in the pre-draft process.
