Colts bench QB Matt Ryan, to start Nick Foles vs. Chargers

The Indianapolis Colts are making another quarterback change, benching starter Matt Ryan in favor of Nick Foles ahead of Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers, coach Jeff Saturday said Wednesday.

It's unclear what the future holds for the 37-year-old Ryan, who is signed through next year and is guaranteed $12 million of his $29 million salary for 2023.

Ryan completed 19 of 33 passes for 182 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss as the Minnesota Vikings completed the largest comeback in NFL history after trailing 33-0 at halftime.
