Colts' Matt Ryan Benched for Sam Ehlinger for Rest of Year After Shoulder Injury

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan is dealing with a Grade 2 shoulder sprain that will keep him out of Sunday's matchup with the Washington Commanders, head coach Frank Reich told reporters.

Sam Ehlinger will start in his place and will continue to do so for the remainder of the season, with Reich saying "right now the move is" for Ehlinger to start the rest of the year.

The Colts acquired the longtime Atlanta Falcons starter in March to take over an offense that failed to reach its potential under Carson Wentz last season.
