Philip Rivers Comeback Ends as Colts Bench Veteran for Rookie Leonard: A New Era BeginsThe Indianapolis Colts have decided to bench veteran quarterback Philip Rivers for their season finale against Houston, marking the end of his surprising comeback. Rivers, who stepped out of retirement to start the last three games, will be replaced by rookie Riley Leonard. Fans have mixed feelings about the move, with some excited for the chance to see youth in action and others disappointed by Rivers short stint after his bold return. Meanwhile, Leonard, a sixth-round pick from Notre Dame, is eager for more reps to build experience. The Colts future looks promising with their young arms leading the way, as Anthony Richardson, the number four overall pick from the 2023 draft, remains sidelined on injured reserve.
