Philip Rivers is, improbably, back in the NFL. Five years after his last NFL snap and four months after signing a one-day contract to retire with the LA Chargers, Rivers has signed to the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad to give it one last go.
It's still unclear how much, or if at all, Rivers will actually play for the Colts down the stretch. But one thing is for certain: if things start going sideways, and Rivers is their only hope of making the playoffs, the gunslinging high-school head coach will be back on an NFL field.
