Former NFL quarterback Matt Ryan hasn’t ruled out a return to football, but it would be safe to assume he may have ruled out a possible return to the Indianapolis Colts. 

When the former Atlanta Falcons signal-caller announced in May he was stepping inside the broadcast booth as an analyst for CBS Sports this upcoming season, he made it clear in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, it was "not a retirement post."

He doubled down on that during an interview with The Athletic published this week. 

"I’m staying in shape. I think it is kind of, ‘You know my number. You know where I’m at.’ If anything were to come up, you know, we’ll see," he told the outlet. "(CBS) is where my focus is at right now. But we’ll see how the season shakes out."

But after recalling his time with the Colts, it seems unlikely Ryan would consider a return to Indianapolis.

"I mean, it was a s--- show, you know. It was a s--- show of 18 months basically is the best way to describe it," he said. "But I think everybody in our family handled it well and came out of it stronger and in a really good spot."
