Dadgummit, Philip Rivers might not be done playing in the NFL, after all. Roughly seven months after announcing his retirement following 17 pro seasons, Rivers told the Los Angeles Times' Sam Farmer that he hasn't closed the door on a comeback late in the 2021 season. Rivers was clear he's focused on coaching high school football currently, but if there is an NFL team that needs him toward the tail end of the season, a comeback could be in the works. "I'm just going to stay ready," Rivers, 39, told Farmer on Tuesday. "I want to make sure I'm very clear: I'm not predicting I will play in December or January, for that matter. One, you've got to have somebody who wants you, and two, it's got to be right.
