The Indianapolis Colts promoted 44-year-old QB Philip Rivers to the active roster Saturday, making him eligible to play — and perhaps start — in Sunday’s crucial game in Seattle.

“Daniel Jones underwent surgery Tuesday in New York that is expected to sideline him for six to eight months, giving the Indianapolis Colts quarterback the ability to be fully cleared for the start of next summer’s training camp, sources told ESPN,” Schefter writes.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the injury will sideline Jones for "six to eight months," which would allow him to be "fully cleared" for training camp. "The belief still is that Jones will play next year in Indianapolis," Schefter wrote, "but his contract expires after this season and he is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent."

There was a time Monday when Brett Rypien seemed like the only Colts QB able to play. What he said on the craziest quarterback situation in the NFL

The situation at quarterback is interesting at quarterback for the Colts ending this season, but it could get more interesting this offseason.

Now back in the NFL on the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad, quarterback Phillip Rivers has also been added to the Madden 26 roster. So what is Rivers' initial Madden rating? Having not played an NFL snap in nearly five years, Rivers' overall score is a 70. His throw power is 83, short throw accuracy is 86, and his speed is 59.

That call came as a shock to the entire NFL world, including former MVP quarterback and Carolina Panthers legend Cam Newton. Not only was Newton shocked, but he felt like it was a "slap in the face" that a 44-year-old Rivers got a call before he did.
