Philip Rivers is among the 26 modern-era semifinalists for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026. The Hall is expected to announce the list of finalists later this month.
Rivers, though, will workout for the Colts on Tuesday.
It is unknown what the chances are of Rivers coming out of retirement. He last played in 2020, which is why he is in his first year of eligibility for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
So, what happens if Rivers opts to sign with the Colts?
According to a Pro Football Hall of Fame spokesman, Rivers’ clock would reset if he signs to the Colts’ active roster. He would not be eligible for induction until at least 2031, and the Hall would remove him from the eligible modern-era players.
