In a stunning turn of events, Philip Rivers, the 44-year-old Hall of Fame hopeful, has joined the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad, potentially paving the way for a comeback that could see him compete for a Super Bowl ring. The eight-time Pro Bowler's decision comes after Colts starter Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon injury, leaving the door open for Rivers to revive his NFL career.\n\nRivers addressed reporters, expressing his excitement about the opportunity to prove himself once again. "Something about it excited me, and I'm willing to take the risk to find out if I can still do it," he said. "I know there's uncertainty, but the only way to find out is to give it a shot."\n\nThe 44-year-old quarterback revealed that he texted Daniel Jones to obtain permission to wear his signature jersey number, 17. Jones responded with a resounding "Heck yeah, go for it." While Colts HC Shane Steichen hinted that Rivers could start as soon as Sunday, the team will take things one day at a time.\n\nAs the Colts navigate their injury woes, they've promoted veteran Brett Rypien from the practice squad to the active roster. However, with Anthony Richardson still on injured reserve, the team's quarterback situation remains uncertain.
