Nearly seven months have passed since veteran NFL quarterback Philip Rivers announced his retirement after 17 seasons. However, the nine-time Pro Bowler told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday he hasn't ruled out a return to the field.
Rivers, 39, is currently the head football coach at St. Michael Catholic High School in Alabama but intends to stay ready in case a team comes calling this fall.
"I’m getting back there," Rivers told the Times. I wouldn’t have made weight if I had to report last week, that’s for sure. But I am getting back into the lifting and running, and shoot, I occasionally throw a ball around out here in this heat.
