INDIANAPOLIS -- Philip Rivers was watching the Indianapolis Colts ' loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday and witnessed quarterback Daniel Jones ' devastating Achilles injury.
"I saw the injury live," said Rivers, the eight-time Pro Bowl selection who rejoined the Colts this week, five years after his retirement. The move reunites him with close friend Shane Steichen, the Colts' head coach.
"I feel terrible for Daniel ... And I have to admit, I thought, 'Well, I wonder if Shane will call.'"
Steichen did, in fact, call hours later. And he got a receptive response from Rivers, one of the most decorated passers in NFL history.
After mulling the idea over with his wife and family and seeking the counsel of some trusted associates, Rivers called the Colts on Tuesday morning wit
