The 2025 NFL season will go down in the history books as one of the strangest seasons ever. Throwing more gas on that fire involves former Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers re-entering the league after being retired for nearly five seasons to join the Colts' practice squad.
This story is bizarre enough on its own. After all, Rivers is 44 years old and hasn't played a snap in the NFL since the 2020 season when he was with the Colts. It gets loopier, though, when you take into account that if Rivers is activated to the Colts active roster this season, he will no longer be eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2026.
