Report: Colts working out kickers after Week 13 loss to Texans

The Indianapolis Colts will reportedly be working out kickers on Tuesday, following their Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans.

According to Joel Erickson of the Indy Star, Blake Grupe is one of those kickers.

Grupe was with the New Orleans Saints up until last week when he was released. On the year, Grupe has made all 15 extra point attempts, but he was just 18-for-26 on field goals.

For his career, Grupe is 86-of-88 on extra points and 75-of-94 on field goals, according to PFF.

The last time the Colts had kickers in for tryouts after Spencer Shrader's injury, there were a handful of kickers that were brought in. So Grupe likely isn't the only tryout candidate.

We will update this article once the other tryout candidates have been reported.

These tryouts come on the heels of Colts' kicker Michael Badgley missing an extra point against Houston.

While that one kick wasn't the sole reason the Colts lost on Sunday, it was a critical miss. With Indianapolis trailing by four points late, the offense had to go for it on 4th-and-9 rather than attempting a game-tying 48-yarder in the final minutes.

That was Badgley's third missed extra point of the season. Over the Colts' last three games, he has missed two extra point tries and one field goal.

"We're certainly going to evaluate all kicker options that we possible have to determine what puts us in the best position to convert all scoring opportunities," said special teams coordinator Brian Mason on Tuesday.
