SAM EHLINGER NEWS

Philip Rivers? Sam Ehlinger? Carson Wentz tests positive, and the Colts have a decision to make Indy loses its starting QB at a pivotal time and appears poised to roll with the untested rookie against the Raiders.

DECEMBER 28, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Could start for Wentz on Sunday Ehlinger may earn his first NFL start Sunday versus the Raiders after Carson Wentz (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact In all likelihood, Wentz, who notably is unvaccinated, will be sidelined this weekend. A 2021 sixth-round pick, Ehlinger hasn't attempted a pass in three regular-season appearances while taking three carries for nine yards. But in three preseason games back in August, he completed 21 of 31 passes for 288 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions and rushed 11 times for 55 yards. Behind Ehlinger, Brett Hundley and James Morgan are the quarterbacks on the Colts' practice squad.

Takes over No. 2 job Ehlinger is now the Colts' No. 2 quarterback after Brett Hundley was released Monday, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

Impact Ehlinger was activated off injured reserve Oct. 19 after missing the first six weeks of the season with a knee injury, and he's now the primary backup to starter Carson Wentz with Hundley and Jacob Eason cut by the Colts. The coaching staff apparently has liked what they've seen from Ehlinger so far, but the rookie sixth rounder is still unlikely to see any worthwhile playing time if Wentz remains healthy.

Back on active roster The Colts activated Ehlinger (knee) off of injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Ehlinger slots in as the team's third-string quarterback behind Carson Wentz and Brett Hundley following the news that the team released Jacob Eason on Tuesday. Ehlinger seems unlikely to see the field in 2021 barring injuries to the two ahead of him in the pecking order.

Returns to practice The Colts designated Ehlinger (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact Ehlinger participated in practice Wednesday for the first time since injuring his knee in the Colts' preseason finale. The quarterback is eligible to return from IR as soon as this weekend's game against the Dolphins, but the Colts will have a full 21-day window to evaluate Ehlinger for an addition to the 53-man roster. Assuming Ehlinger isn't activated prior to Sunday's contest, Brett Hundley is in line to serve as Carson Wentz's backup.
