The Indianapolis Colts worked out free-agent kickers Josh Lambo and Matthew Wright on Tuesday, according to Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star.
Following the rough opener for Rodrigo Blankenship, which included two kickoff out of bounds and a failed attempt on the winning field-goal, many have been calling for the Colts to replace the third-year kicker.
The Colts are likely going to hold a tryout for several kickers so this may not be the only group of players.
Colts have worked out at least one kicker today, a league source says.
Indianapolis tried out former Jaguars kicker Matthew Wright, who will not be signing, per source.
There could obviously be more. Wright is the only one I've been able to confirm so far.

Lambo spent two years with the San Diego Chargers (2015-2016) and five years with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2017-2021). He has converted 89.7% of his field goals and 89.9% of his extra-point attempts.
Wright has played one season with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2020) and one with the Jaguars (2021). He has converted 89.3% of his field-goal attempts and 90.9% of his extra-point attempts.
It will be interesting to see if the Colts bring in any more kickers, and everyone will be watching to see what kind of decision they make.
