Spencer Shrader Secures Kicking Position with Colts After Grupe's Release

The Indianapolis Colts have confirmed Spencer Shrader as their kicker after releasing Blake Grupe. This decision leaves Shrader as the sole kicker on the team's roster.

Shrader's performance, highlighted by a 60-yard field goal in the preseason finale, likely contributed to his selection. He had already shown strong capabilities in the previous preseason games, positioning himself as the frontrunner.

Last season, Shrader began as the Colts' kicker but was replaced by Grupe due to an injury. With Shrader now healthy, he has reclaimed the kicking role for the upcoming season.
