The Colts on Wednesday signed kicker Blake Grupe to the practice squad.
Grupe signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent following the 2023 NFL Draft and appeared in 45 career games for the Saints from 2023-2025, connecting on 75-of-94 field goal attempts (79.8 percent) and 86-of-88 PATs. He is 15-of-23 on field goal attempts longer than 50 yards with a career-long of 57 yards.
In 11 games for the Saints this season, Grupe was 18-of-26 on field goal attempts and made all 15 PATs. He was released by the Saints on Nov. 25. His last name is pronounced GROUP-ee.
The move comes after the Colts waived kicker Michael Badgley on Tuesday. Badgley missed an extra point in the Colts' loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday for his third missed PAT of the season.
In a corresponding move, the Colts released center Jimmy Morrissey from the practice squad.
