The Broncos practice squad quarterback spent about 48 hours after Denver’s win in Las Vegas weighing an opportunity to return to Indianapolis for the stretch run of the season, he told The Denver Post on Wednesday.
Ehlinger said his agent had extensive talks with the Colts after their starting quarterback, Daniel Jones, tore his Achilles on Sunday.
