Honest question - would Rivers be the first grandfather to play in the NFL?

Favre.  And, for someone upthread, when Marino blew out his Achilles I believe DeBerg played the majority of that year for the Dolphins at 44. 

 

EDIT - he might have been about 40 with the Dolphins, and back later with the Falcons at 44.

I saw that.  Now I do grant that the LA Rams won a Superbowl playing 2 year retired Eric Weddle at Safety.

 

But Phillip Rivers was not particularly mobile at any point in his career, and he was statuesque at the point where he retired.

Vinny Testaverde is stretching up now...

And his arm was shot.

Still can’t practice I thought I heard he’s still hurt.

Didn't know that, makes sense

Yes.  I heard today that Riley Leonard is starting.

[Rew]

I don't think Peyton has any broadcast limitations that would prevent him from playing.

First time Rivers gets hit, he will totally regret all his life decisions.  This is a textbook desperation move...

Agree, and how much can he really grasp current nfl systems? I mean I guess he probably watches still, but this seems like it's gonna end terribly 

[Augie]

I have to say, this has got to be one ginormous kick in the gut for Colt’s fans. Imagine you think lightning might be caught in a bottle, then the bottle breaks. 

 

Don’t worry, Colts fans. It can get much worse.    

[Big Blitz]

Holy cow

Because Luck would literally do anything at all other than take another NFL snap ever again, and understandably so. 

Yeah but they have a good selling point, they have an actual offensive line and weapons for him.

Richardson has an injury to his orbital bone, his body is fine. No idea how severe it is, or why he hasn't been cleared. It was a pre-game stretching band that snapped & got him in the face.

 

NBA players play through orbital fractures with a face shield, I'd have to think Richardson could potentially do the same with the added protection of a helmet & shield. Especially seeing as these remaining games this year could be his last shot at starting in the NFL.

That leaves Brett Rypien who is on the practice squad.

[L Ron Burgundy]

Feel bad for their fans.  Never saw a team fall so hard from a good situation to TERRIBLE.   The trade for Sauce will be made awful because of this too.

He’s on IR. He had an exercise band snap and break his orbital bone 

[Process]

Well that would be fun. 

 

Flacco would make a lot more sense, I doubt the Bengals hold him hostage if he requested his release.
