The Indianapolis Colts’ quarterback carousel continues to spin. This time, it’s Matt Ryan who’s been ejected from the ride. Stepping up in his place is second-year veteran — and former sixth-round draft pick — Sam Ehlinger.
Ryan’s demotion is officially the result of a shoulder sprain, but to believe his job is secure when fully healthy would be folly. The former NFL MVP has been mostly unable to reclaim the glory of his mid-2010s run with the Atlanta Falcons. Ryan needed 44 passes to throw for 243 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Tennessee Titans and threw a pair of first half interceptions — including a pick-six that led to an early 10-0 deficit.
