MANNING STATEMENT

Philip Rivers on Wednesday was on the field at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center in a red No. 17 practice jersey, slinging the ball around and going through a Week 15 practice for the Colts. So how, exactly, did we get to this point? 

The Colts are in wait-and-see mode as Philip Rivers and Riley Leonard begin practice on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. 

With the Colts placing Daniel Jones on injured reserve Tuesday, Rivers is able to wear the No. 17 he's worn every year of his career. 

Buckner was placed on injured reserve with a neck injury in Week 10.

Anarumo was the defensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2020, when Rivers led the Colts to a 31-27 comeback win.

On Monday, Ward was placed in concussion protocol for the third time this season.

Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award nominees are chosen for their demonstration of on-field sportsmanship. 

This marks the third time Ward has been placed in concussion protocol this season.

Head coach Shane Steichen said the Colts could also make an additional roster move at quarterback this week with Daniel Jones sustaining a season-ending Achilles' injury against the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

Jones sustained a torn Achilles' late in the first quarter of the Colts' Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. 

Rookie quarterback Riley Leonard played three quarters in the Colts' 36-19 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars after Jones left the game with an Achilles injury.
