Colts rumors: Indianapolis hasn’t decided between Philip Rivers, Riley Leonard as Week 15 starter
As the Colts prepare to take on the Seahawks, Indianapolis still hasn't decided if Riley Leonard or Philip Rivers will start.
After Daniel Jones' injury, the course of the Colts' season might now be determined by a sixth-round rookie QB. But who is Riley Leonard?
Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Riley Leonard and NFL Hall of Fame candidate Phillip Rivers are now teammates. However, the two have a pre-existing relationship. As was detailed this offseason at Colts.com, Leonard's parents live in Fairhope, Alabama, which also happens to be where Rivers calls home.
The Colts have already lost Daniel Jones for the year. Now, backup quarterback Riley Leonard is dealing with a knee injury of his own.
The Indianapolis Colts found themselves in a most unfortunate situation on Sunday.
Rivers turned 44 years old on Monday, and if he's signed by the Colts, he'll become the oldest active player in the league. It was originally reported that Rivers was going to come in for a workout on Tuesday, but it appears the team actually watched him throw on Monday instead.
The Colts are walking into Sunday with QB depth concerns and now could turn to Philip Rivers. But Riley Leonard gave some good news.
