Philip Rivers’ Family: Married To Entrepreneur, Welcomed 10th Child At 41, Became Grandparent At 43

Philip Rivers is the name dominating headlines in NFL fandom after he came out of retirement to join the Indianapolis Colts. The 44-year-old veteran joined the Colts’ practice on December 8, 2025, and his return out of retirement shocked everyone. The reason for this surprising move is the multiple injuries the Colts have been dealing with. For the uninitiated, Colts starter, Daniel Joes is out due to a season-ending torn Achilles, while Riley Leonard is sidelined due to a knee injury. Not only that, rookie, Anthony Richardson is also unavailable to the Colts due to an injury.

Why Philip Rivers returns to the NFL at 44? Here’s everything you need to know about the Indianapolis Colts’ injury crisis

As a result, the Indianapolis Colts sought reinforcements and put their faith and money in Philip Rivers. The veteran quarterback (QB) visited the Colts’ training on his 44th birthday, December 8, and to everyone’s surprise, Rivers looked absolutely sharp. Within 24 hours, he was signed to the Colts’ practice squad, the news broke the internet, and the topic became a mass discussion among NFL fans.

According to several NFL critics, Philip Rivers’ familiarity with the Indianapolis Colts’ offensive system and his history of working with the team’s coach, Shane Steichen, are among the significant reasons behind this deal. Steichen and Rives had worked together when the former was coaching at the Los Angeles Chargers. For the uninitiated, Rivers played for the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers from 2004 to 2019 and was with the Indianapolis Colts in 2020. After spending 17 years in the NFL, he announced his retirement from the game in January 2021.

Philip Rivers left high-school coaching to become the NFL’s oldest active player and a potential Hall of Fame contender

After retiring from the NFL as a player, Philip Rivers began coaching high school football at St. Michael Catholic High School in Fairhope, Alabama, in 2021. However, he has reportedly left the coaching role after he signed a deal with the Indianapolis Colts to become the NFL’s oldest active player. The 44-year-old has taken the mantle from Aaron Rodgers, who is a 42-year-old veteran playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, the oldest NFL quarterback to start a game (all-time) is Tom Brady (aged 45), and the oldest NFL player of all-time is George Blanda (aged 48).

If Philip Rivers features on the field for the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15 or the upcoming weeks, he will become one of the oldest players to play in the NFL. While some people have labeled the Colts’ decision to sign a 44-year-old as a desperate move, most NFL fans and critics are convinced it can help the team in multiple ways. When Rivers retired back in 2021, he hung up his boots as one of the NFL’s most prolific passers, with 63,440 career passing yards and 421 touchdown passes. With eight Pro Bowl selections, Rivers is now a semifinalist for the 2026 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
