Rivers has also averaged 289.3 yards per game over that span and will look to continue his recent excellence in a favorable matchup with the Raiders next Sunday.

Offseason toe surgery likely Rivers will continue to play through a plantar plate rupture in his toe during Sunday's game at Houston, but the quarterback is expected to require offseason surgery to address the...

Impact Throughout his tenure with the Chargers, Rivers was no stranger to playing at less than 100 percent health, and that trend is set to continue in his first season in Indianapolis after he picked up the painful toe injury in the Colts' Week 11 win over the Packers. According to Rapoport, Rivers' injury is more serious than turf toe, an issue which normally forces players to miss time. Because Rivers isn't reliant on mobility, he likely won't be affected as much as a typical skill-position player, but expect the Colts to continue subbing in backup Jacoby Brissett for the 38-year-old on obvious running downs. Brissett has played 17 total snaps the past two games, notching two goal-line touchdowns that might have otherwise been Rivers passing scores had the veteran stayed on the field.

Good to go for Week 13 Rivers (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans.

Impact Rivers has said all along that he wasn't worried about the toe injury he sustained two weeks ago, and he was able to steadily ramp up his practice participation throughout the week, going from no practice to a limited session before upgrading to full participation Friday. Mobility isn't much of a factor in the veteran quarterback's game, and Rivers has been playing some of his best football recently, posting a 12:4 TD:INT over the past six games after starting his Colts tenure with a 4:5 ratio through five games.

Returns to limited practice Rivers (toe) was limited at practice Thursday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact While both Rivers, who missed practice Wednesday, and coach Frank Reich having downplayed the QB's toe issue, Bowen notes that "you saw moments (this past) Sunday when it impacted him." Meanwhile, Rivers' teammate, Quenton Nelson, suggested Thursday that the veteran signal-caller is "playing with a really bad problem with his foot." With that in mind, it's quite possible that Rivers will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, but given his record for durability, we'd still expect him to play this weekend.

Sits out practice Rivers (toe) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Rivers approached Sunday's 45-26 loss to the Titans with a questionable tag, but the quarterback played through his toe issue. With no reported setbacks in the contest, his absence Wednesday is most likely a maintenance day. The veteran signal-caller has made 186 consecutive starts, the league's longest active streak.
