Colts QB Daniel Jones is expected to miss six to eight months following Achilles surgery, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 28-year-old underwent surgery on Tuesday.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter report that Colts QB Philip Rivers will start Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. It's been trending in this direction for the past few days. Rapoport adds that Rivers and QB Riley Leonard both got first-team reps in practice this week and both could play against Seattle. We imagine that'll only happen if Rivers struggles or gets hurt -- but either outcome is plenty possible. Rivers is 44 and hasn't played since 2020. Stay far away from this situation in Week 15 fantasy lineups. All of Indianapolis' skill-position players sit lower than usual in the Week 15 rankings.

ESPN's Stephen Holder believes the Colts are preparing to start QB Philip Rivers vs. the Seahawks on Sunday. "Two days in now, and my time in the building this week has left me only MORE convinced Philip Rivers is this week's starting quarterback," Holder wrote. "It isn't difficult to tell who a team is prepping to start. That player is Rivers. Period." It's not shocking that the Colts don't want to start sixth-round rookie QB Riley Leonard in Seattle. But they'll instead go with a 44-year-old who hasn't played since 2020 and joined the team just a few days ago. Rivers is at least comfortable in HC Shane Steichen's offense, but we don't imagine this going particularly well. Rivers isn't a viable starter in any fantasy format, and Colts pass catchers remain risky bets in Week 15 fantasy lineups.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson attended practice Wednesday for the first time in a while. His IR status keeps him off the injury report for the week, but video shows him wearing a red, non-contact jersey. That indicates some level of participation. Richardson has been out since suffering an orbital-bone fracture (eye socket) before the Week 6 win over the Cardinals.

Colts QB Riley Leonard (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It looks like he'll be available for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks, although we don't know whether it'll be Leonard or Philip Rivers under center for that one. "We'll see how the week goes," HC Shane Steichen said Wednesday. "We'll get to the end of the week and make that decision." Indianapolis' passing game will be a shaky fantasy bet regardless of who gets the start on Sunday.

The Indianapolis Colts have signed veteran QB Philip Rivers to their practice squad. With QB Riley Leonard week-to-week with a knee injury, Rivers bolsters the QB depth in case he is needed. He will compete with QB Brett Rypien, also on the practice squad, for the back-up job. But, it isn’t out of the question for Rivers to start at some point with the Colts trying to claw their way into the playoffs.
