Sam Ehlinger Benched For Matt Ryan
2 years agoUpdating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan will start in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders over Sam Ehlinger. Interim head coach Jeff Saturday will go back to the veteran signal-caller in his first game as head coach on the road on Sunday. Ryan was seen taking snaps from starting center Ryan Kelly during pre-game warmups, which was the first sign that the Colts were making the switch at QB. The 37-year-old Ryan didn't look good at all in his first seven starts this year before being benched, but he has to be considered an upgrade for Indy's pass-catchers like Michael Pittman Jr., Parris Campbell and Alec Pierce. Still, he shouldn't be considered as anything more than a low-end QB2 in his return to the starting role against the Raiders.
