Video: Some Diamonds Hide on the Week 15 Waiver Wire
Philip Rivers hasn't stepped on an NFL field since 2020... Looked okay. Arm was okay... Rivers might be starting... I probably feel a little bit better about Jonathan Taylor, about Michael Pitman if Philip Rivers is under center.

Five-year layoff with diminished arm strength; marginal upgrade over Leonard

Indianapolis is reaching out to Rivers as a potential QB signing. Rivers has not played since 2020 (5-year layoff) and showed only okay arm strength in his recent workout. Unlike Joe Flacco, who has remained active in NFL training camps and practices over the past five years, Rivers faces significant rust and diminished arm talent compared to his final Colts season. If Rivers starts over Riley Leonard, the source feels slightly better about Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman due to Rivers providing more stability and checkdown opportunities, though the source lacks confidence in his deep-ball accuracy for Alec Pierce.
