Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich named former Texas Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger the starter on Monday following the Grade 2 shoulder separation sustained by Matt Ryan in Sunday’s loss to the Tennessee Titans. Reich intends to use the remainder of the season to see what the Colts have in Ehlinger, who passed Nick Foles for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart two weeks ago.
“I’ve been particularly impressed with Sam in practice since the season started, the look that he’s given on the scout team, the quality of his throws, the way he’s commanding himself out there,” Reich said.
