Colts quarterback Matt Ryan will be active this week. Interim head coach Jeff Saturday announced Ryan will back up Sam Ehlinger when the team plays the Raiders in Las Vegas on Sunday.
Indianapolis benched Ryan two weeks ago in favor of Ehlinger, a sixth-round rookie who never previously started an NFL game. Ryan was demoted all the way to third string each of the last two games, as he was inactive while veteran Nick Foles served as Ehlinger’s backup.
Ryan entered the season as the Colts starter following an offseason trade from the Falcons.
