Colts' Riley Leonard: Remaining backup in Week 17
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that Leonard will remain in a backup role Sunday against the Jaguars while Philip Rivers makes a third straight start at quarterback, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
The Colts will be eliminated from playoff contention if the Texans beat the Chargers on Saturday, but Steichen confirmed that Rivers will continue to direct the offense regardless of the outcome of that contest. More specifically, Steichen said that it wouldn't be "fair" to ask rookie Leonard to start on 24 hours' notice if Rivers takes first-team reps throughout the week, which he has been doing since signing with the Colts in Week 15. Though the Colts have suffered losses to the playoff-bound squads in the Seahawks and 49ers in Rivers' two starts, the 44-year-old has given Indianapolis some stability under center following Daniel Jones' season-ending Achilles surgery. Rivers won't be part of the Colts' long-term plans, however, so if the team does get eliminated in Week 17, Steichen could entertain the idea of starting Leonard or third-year quarterback Anthony Richardson (orbital) -- if available -- in the regular-season finale against the Texans.

Colts' Riley Leonard: Headed for backup role Week 15
Leonard is expected to serve as the Colts' backup quarterback in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Leonard appeared poised to take on starting duties for the rest of the season after Daniel Jones tore his Achilles tendon during the Colts' Week 14 loss to the Jaguars. However, Indianapolis opted to sign Philip Rivers on Wednesday, and after he and Leonard split first-team reps during Week 15 prep, the Colts are leaning toward having the 44-year-old veteran make his first NFL start since the 2020 season. How Rivers plays Sunday will likely determine whether he remains at the helm for the Colts for the rest of the 2025 campaign, or if Leonard gets a shot at some point.

Colts' Riley Leonard: No injury designation, starter TBD
Leonard (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks after practicing fully this week.
While Leonard is healthy enough to be available this weekend, the Colts have yet to reveal their Week 15 starting QB plans, with veteran newcomer Philip Rivers also a candidate to get the nod, per JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site. On that subject, coach Shane Steichen noted Friday afternoon, "We're going to work through that right now. We literally just got off the practice field, but (Rivers) had a good week of work, and we'll have those discussions here in the next couple hours." In any case, in order for Rivers to be in uniform Sunday, the Colts will either need to elevate him to their active roster from the practice squad, or sign him to the 53-man roster by Saturday afternoon's transaction deadline.

Colts' Riley Leonard: Full practice, Week 15 starter TBD
Leonard (knee) was listed as a full practice participant Wednesday.
Per JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site, Leonard -- who replaced an injured Daniel Jones (Achilles) in this past Sunday's loss to the Jaguars -- emerged from the game with a Grade 1 PCL sprain. However, his full participation in Wednesday's practice session puts him in position to be available Sunday against the Seahawks. With Jones out for the rest of the season and Anthony Richardson (orbital) still on injured reserve, Brett Rypien was signed to the team's active roster, and 44-year-old Philip Rivers officially joined Indianapolis' practice squad Wednesday. At this stage, head coach Shane Steichen acknowledged that the Colts' Week 15 quarterback plans have yet to be determined, and it's possible that Rivers could get the nod rather than Leonard versus Seattle, depending on how the former fares at practice this week.

Colts' Riley Leonard: In line to practice Wednesday
Leonard (knee) will practice Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
With Daniel Jones out for the season due to an Achilles' injury and Anthony Richardson (orbital) still on IR, Leonard is candidate to start Sunday's game against the Seahawks. However, now that he's dealing with a knee injury the QB's status will need to be monitored closely. Leonard's looming practice participation is a positive sign, but at this stage coach Shane Steichen has yet to reveal the Colts' Week 15 QB plans. Also in the mix on that front are Brett Rypien, who was signed to the team's active roster Wednesday, as well as 44-year-old Philip Rivers, who has officially joined Indianapolis' practice squad. Per Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis, when asked if Leonard would start this weekend if healthy, Steichen said "we will see" while noting that Rivers will be evaluated in practice this week.

Colts' Riley Leonard: Dealing with PCL sprain
Leonard was diagnosed with a Grade 1 PCL sprain of his right knee following Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
After Daniel Jones sustained a season-ending torn right Achilles tendon late in the first quarter of Sunday's contest, Leonard stepped in for the remainder of the game. Though the rookie didn't miss a snap after taking over the offense, he emerged from the game with a knee issue that threatens his availability for a Week 15 game in Seattle. The Colts plan to have Leonard make his first NFL start this weekend if he's healthy enough to do so, as Anthony Richardson (orbital) has yet to resume practicing and will remain on injured reserve for at least one more week. Practice squad member Brett Rypien is the lone healthy quarterback in the Colts organization at the moment however, and would get the nod in Leonard can't play. Regardless of Leonard's status for Sunday, Indianapolis is expected to add depth to its quarterback room, and 44-year-old Philip Rivers worked out for the team Monday night. Because Rivers hasn't played professionally since 2020, the Colts would have him start out on the practice squad if he gets signed rather than having him immediately challenge Leonard or Rypien for a spot on the depth chart.

Colts' Riley Leonard: Tending to strained knee
Leonard sustained a strained right knee ligament in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars and is considered week-to-week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Pressed into duty after Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending Achilles injury early in Sunday's contest, Leonard completed 18 of 29 passes for 145 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while adding five yards and a touchdown in his first extended NFL action. Though he's expected to take over as the Colts' starter in place of Jones, Leonard will first have to prove that the knee issue isn't severe enough to keep him sidelined Week 15 against the Seahawks. Even if Leonard is ultimately cleared to play, Indianapolis will almost certainly have to bring in quarterback depth this week, and reports have recently emerged that 44-year-old Philip Rivers will be brought in for a workout Tuesday.

Colts' Riley Leonard: Dealing with knee injury
Leonard is dealing with a knee injury, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Leonard replaced an injured Daniel Jones (Achilles) in Sunday's contest and finished out the game, but it appears he picked up an injury of his own. The extent of the injury is not yet known. With Jones out for the season and Anthony Richardson (orbital) on injured reserve, practice-squad quarterback Brett Rypien is currently the only healthy Colts quarterback option.
