The Indianapolis Colts are signing kicker Michael Badgley to the practice squad following his workout on Wednesday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
With starter Rodrigo Blankenship dealing with a hip injury that limited during the Week 5 loss against the Baltimore Ravens. It isn’t clear if he will miss time, but it appears the Colts are making sure they have some insurance.
The #Colts are signing kicker Michael Badgley after today’s workout, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. So if Hot Rod can’t go, it’ll be Badgley getting promoted from the practice squad to kick on Sunday against the #Texans.

An undrafted free agent in 2018, Badgley spent that preseason with the Colts before he was released during roster cuts. He spent three seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers (2018-2020) and one game with the Tennessee Titans in 2021.
In 35 career games, Badgley has converted 52-of-66 field-goal attempts (78.8%) and 83-of-88 extra-point attempts (94.3%).
