How the Colts signed Philip Rivers out of NFL retirement

Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen was still processing the devastating loss of starting quarterback Daniel Jones when he was blindsided by another QB injury.

Monday morning -- in the aftermath of a consequential loss at the Jacksonville Jaguars in which Jones sustained a torn right Achilles tendon -- backup signal-caller Riley Leonard reported to work with a sore right knee from the previous day's game. Now, Leonard's status was in question.

A few hours later, Steichen shared the news with reporters.

"He came in with the knee [injury] this morning, so we're working through that right now," Steichen said, admitting he didn't have many answers to follow-up questions about Leonard.
