The Philip Rivers comeback story remains on schedule.
The Indianapolis Colts have elevated the newly unretired quarterback from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster Saturday, making him officially eligible to play Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.
Rivers, who retired after the 2020 season and last played in a playoff game in January 2021, came out of retirement this week to help the Colts address their quarterback situation in the wake of Daniel Jones' season-ending Achilles injury.
Rivers, 44, was originally signed to the practice squad. meaning he was required to be added to the official roster before being able to play.
