That’s crazy to me. I’m sure practice squad guys have refused an active roster spot with another team before but I’m willing to bet it rarely happens.
I wonder what his reasoning was?

The mere fact that the shade of Sam Ehlinger has entered our conversation shows how dire the situation has become. Ehlinger is a fringe, practice squad denizen, the kind of guy you pray never takes the field. If he does, your season has gone so far off the tracks, so sideways that you’re adrift at sea, clinging to what’s left of a dining room table, like a survivor of the Titanic.
Phillip Rivers, in a wheelchair, his right arm in a cast, gives you a better chance of winning than Sam Ehlinger.
Well, maybe not.
But, Rivers does bring a little to the table. He’s smart, with a wealth of experience. He’s accurate, he probably has enough of an arm left to run some truncated version of Shane Steichen’s Offense, and he can probably do a splendid job of handing the ball off to Jonathan Taylor.
At this point, we can’t realistically as for more.
