Colts Will Enter Key AFC South Matchup Against Jags with New Kicker After Cutting Badgley
After missing three extra points in seven games, Michael Badgley was waived and Blake Grupe was signed to the Colts' practice squad following a tryout with Justin Tucker.
- Tuesday, the Indianapolis Colts waived Michael Badgley, removing him from the roster, and signed former New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe to the practice squad after a tryout including Justin Tucker.
- Missing extra points in seven games prompted the Colts to evaluate kicking options after Michael Badgley missed his third extra point in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans.
- The tryout featured Tucker and other kickers, and Grupe was present after his release from New Orleans, as the Saints signed Cade York instead.
- The roster move guarantees a new kicker for Sunday's trip to Jacksonville as the Indianapolis Colts have lost two straight and three of four, sliding from the AFC's top seed in a tight division race.
- Adding another kicker would mark a franchise first for Indianapolis, as Michael Badgley leaves with a 79.8% FG rate, 71 games played, and 510 career points.
