Indianapolis Colts sign new kicker after waiving Michael Badgley

The Indianapolis Colts are signing kicker Blake Grupe, according to Mike Garafolo.

Grupe is being signed to the practice squad, not the active roster. Garafolo said that Grupe impressed during his workout on Tuesday.

Colts’ special teams coordinator Brian Mason worked with Grupe at Notre Dame during the 2022 season.

This move comes after the team announced that they had waived Michael Badgley.

Badgley's missed extra point against Houston proved to be costly, and that was his third missed extra point of the season. Over the Colts' last three games, Badgley had missed two extra points and one field goal attempt.

"If we're looking at the situation in Week 14, we're looking for somebody that's experienced, that we know can handle pressure, that we know can be consistent to be able to make kicks within games," said special teams coordinator Brian Mason on Tuesday, via Colts.com.
