Matt Ryan Status
rotoWire
The Colts officially released Ryan on Wednesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.
What it means:
Per Scott Horner
of the Indianapolis Star, by cutting the 37-year-old, the Colts freed up $17 million in salary cap space. In the wake of Ryan's departure, fellow quarterbacks Nick Foles and Sam Ehlinger remain under contract with Indianapolis, with the team expected to add depth at the position this offseason.
rotoWire
The Colts are slated to release Ryan, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
The veteran QB was supplanted as the Colts' starter in his lone campaign with the team, so it's not a surprise that he'll be let go ahead of the coming season. Meanwhile, parting ways with the 37-year-old is in line to provide Indy with over $17 million in salary-cap relief, per Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star.
rotoWire
Ryan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 17 game against the Giants.
What it means:
The veteran signal-caller will once again be left off the game day roster in favor of second-year pro Sam Ehlinger, who'll serve as starter Nick Foles' backup. Barring an injury to either of the two players in front of him, Ryan appears destined for the same status in next Sunday's regular-season finale against the Texans.
rotoWire
Ryan is inactive for Monday night's game against the Chargers.
What it means:
With Ryan officially inactive Monday, Sam Ehlinger will back up Nick Foles in Week 16. Per Stephen Holder of ESPN, the Colts' current plan is to start Foles for the team's final three games.
rotoWire
Sam Ehlinger will back up Nick Foles versus the Chargers on Monday, with Ryan in line to be the Colts' No. 3 QB in Week 16, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
What it means:
Interim head coach Jeff Saturday announced Wednesday that Ryan would be benched in favor of Foles, and now it looks like the veteran signal-caller will be inactive Monday. It remains to be seen whether Ryan sees any more game action for the 4-9-1 Colts, who have been eliminated from playoff contention, but he's off the fantasy radar for now.
rotoWire
Nick Foles will start at quarterback for the Colts rather than Ryan on Monday night against the Chargers, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.
What it means:
"I feel like Nick will give us a better chance to win these last three games," Saturday noted Wednesday, when announcing his decision to turn to Foles in Week 16. At this stage, it's unclear whether Ryan or Sam Ehlinger will serve as Foles' backup versus Los Angeles, with Saturday adding that the team's plan at quarterback will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis down the stretch.
