Philip Rivers, a 44-year-old quarterback who retired nearly five years ago, was signed to the main roster by the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday and could start Sunday against Seattle.

The Colts, who have lost two quarterbacks to injury this season, announced the move five days after Rivers worked out for them on his birthday. He was later  signed to the practice squad.
