These season ending achilles injuries, which are always non-contact, are up 5x higher this year than in previous years. Primary culprit seems to be the latest generation of synthetic surfaces that have been installed in stadiums across the league, which over grip cleats without the release of grass.
Save on turf maintenance only to lose a starting QB and watch the season flushed?

Say what you want about the Raiders...but they play on a grass field that is rolled out of the stadium to get sun and water...
 
Not sure if this plays into River's calculus in regard to playing for Indy, but his 5 year clock would start over for getting into the Hall of Fame if he does start a game...
 
I'm not sure about him starting, but if Leonard falters and the Dolts get behind, then they have nothing to lose with Rivers...
Rest of their schedule is brutal, so really...not much choice unless Richardson returns.

Wonder how he will be moving around...and getting a solid hit. Colts O line is solid, and Rivers never had any mobility to begin with, so he'll just sit in the pocket and huck it most likely.

I can’t even imagine being in your mid 40’s and having no training camp or practice and then playing in a NFL game and having the opportunity to get drilled by 250-300 lb defensive players.
Make sure to order extra ice….

Well just have to see...
I doubt he starts, but hey...he might.
🤣

He will probably get elevated to the 53 man, just to be there to help Leonard
 
He's got kids older than some of the Colts players...

Wonder if Rivers will get to meet Emmanwori or Big Cat in the backfield ?

It could have been 65 if Jones hadn’t thrown any passes. 😉
They liked to run it back in the days. Maybe the Colts go retro, three yards and a knee surgery offense?

I remember that game, windy as hell.
 
Was reading the Rivers tutored Leonard pre draft, and has been mentoring him


So in that light, it makes a bit more sense, that and the Dolts coach and his long relationship with Rivers.

And here I thought the Marshawn Lynch re-signing was bad...
 
So this Sunday will be the 3rd game in a row the c-hawks have not faced a starting QB?
 
But he's a Hall of Famer...
😁
