Will remain in backup role Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday confirmed Wednesday that Ehlinger will remain in a backup role for Sunday's game against the Eagles with Matt Ryan set to make a second strai...
Impact Shortly after being appointed as the Colts' new coach last week following the firing of Frank Reich, Saturday indicated that Ehlinger would pick up a third consecutive start. However, once Sunday's matchup with the Raiders arrived, it was Ryan who took the reins of the offense. Ryan completed 21 of 28 attempts for 222 yards and a touchdown while adding 38 yards and another score on the ground as the Colts claimed a 25-20 victory, putting an end to a three-game losing streak. Though the mobile Ehlinger, a 2021 sixth-round pick, has more theoretical upside than the 37-year-old Ryan at this stage of his career, the 4-5-1 Colts aren't yet ready to wave the white flag on the season and will stick with the veteran, who likely gives the team a better chance at remaining competitive.

Remains starter under new coach Ehlinger remains the starter heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Kevin Hickey of USA Today reports.
Impact Indianapolis' new head coach, Jeff Saturday, replacing Frank Reich, said in his opening press conference Monday that "Sam [Ehlinger] will be the quarterback." The 2021 sixth-round pick is coming off a dispiriting loss to New England but did show some flashes in his debut versus the Commanders in Week 8, and he could find more success against an exploitable Raiders defense on Sunday. Through two NFL starts, Ehlinger is still without his first passing touchdown but has thrown one interception.

Struggles in Foxboro Ehlinger completed 15 of 29 passes for 103 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Patriots. He added five rushes for 39 yards.
Impact After a promising first NFL start, Ehlinger looked overwhelmed in Sunday's blowout loss to the Patriots. In addition to averaging only 3.6 yards per attempt, Ehlinger was also sacked nine times. If there is one positive to take from the effort, he was more effective on the ground and showed the potential to be a dual-threat quarterback -- which also aligns with his college profile. Ehlinger should also benefit from a softer matchup against the Raiders in Week 10.
