Rivers (biceps) signed with the Colts on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rivers didn't play a snap in 2023, and he finished the season on the Colts' practice squad injured reserve due to a biceps injury. He last saw NFL action in 2021 with the Texans, when he recorded nine tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, across five regular-season games.

Indianapolis placed Rivers (biceps) on its practice squad injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The move means Rivers will have to wait until 2024, at the earliest, to get another chance to suit up. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2021, when he recorded nine tackles (seven solo), including a sack, over five games with Houston.

Rivers (biceps) was placed on the Texans' injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rivers suffered a torn biceps during Houston's preseason finale last Thursday, and he will likely now be forced to sit out the entirety of the 2022 regular season, unless he can reach an injury settlement from the team. The 28-year-old defensive end recorded nine tackles and one sack over five games with the Texans last year.

Rivers suffered a torn biceps during Thursday's preseason finale against the 49ers, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Contrary to initial reports, Rivers has been diagnosed with a serious injury and could possibly miss the entire 2022 season. It's a tough break for the 2017 third-round pick, who had an excellent preseason and was vying for a roster spot.

Rivers suffered a bicep injury in the Texans' preseason finale against the 49ers,Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The defensive end injured his bicep in Houston's 17-0 victory but Rivers believes the injury isn't serious and he should be good moving forward. The former third-round selection from the 2017 NFL Draft could see a depth role with the Texans once again this season after he recovers from his injury.

Rivers recorded two sacks in Saturday's 17-13 preseason win over the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

One of the sacks came on third down late in the first half and forced the Saints to punt from the end zone. That led to a scoring opportunity -- a missed long-distance field-goal attempt. Houston head coach Lovie Smith had a couple of unprompted shoutouts for the reserve defensive end during the post-game press conference. "You look at him, he's our profile that we're looking for on the outside. If you put defensive end behind your name, you need to be able to rush the passer here. He showed up throughout. That's what he's been doing in training camp," the coach said. Rivers improved his stock after the opener and could be part of the set of linemen added to the final roster.

EDGE Analysis

GM Nick Caserio is familiar with Rivers from their days with the Patriots, and he's bringing New England's 2017 third-round pick to Houston. Rivers finished last season with the Rams after being cut by New England. He has 2.5 sacks in 19 career NFL games.

Rivers was added to the Rams' active roster Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was claimed off waivers by the Rams at the start of the week, but he was on the exempt list while clearing the COVID-19 protocols. Rivers will be able to make his debut with Los Angeles versus San Francisco on Sunday.
