INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts are making an enormous change at the quarterback position.

Indianapolis is turning to second-year quarterback Sam Ehlinger as the starter, benching veteran Matt Ryan just seven games into his tenure as the Colts.

Ryan has a Grade 2 shoulder separation, will not practice this week and will not be active against the Commanders, but the move was going to be made in any case.

The plan is for the former Texas quarterback to be the starter the rest of the season.
