Colts' Sam Ehlinger will start at quarterback in Week 18

Indianapolis Colts head coach Jeff Saturday said Monday that quarterback Sam Ehlinger will start in the team's Week 18 game against the Houston Texans.

What It Means:

Saturday said Monday that Week 17 starter Nick Foles (ribs) will not be available for the game after suffering a painful rib injury last week, meaning Ehlinger will make his third career start in Week 18.

Ehlinger stepped in halfway through the Colts' Week 17 loss, completing 9 of his 14 passes for 60 yards and a touchdown.
