Signed from practice squad The Colts signed Grupe to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Grupe was elevated to make his colts debut during the team's Week 14 loss to the Jaguars, in which he converted both of his field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt. With the team having cut Michael Badgley and Spencer Shrader (knee) out for the year, Grupe figures to operate as Indianapolis' kicker for the remainder of the 2025 campaign, assuming he's able to keep up his consistency. Next on deck for Grupe and the Colts is a road matchup against Seattle on Sunday.

Back to practice squad Grupe reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Grupe was elevated to the Colts' active roster for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, during which he connected on both of his field-goal attempts and his lone point-after try. He served as the Colts' starting placekicker ahead of Michael Badgley, and Grupe should have another opportunity to kick this Sunday against the Seahawks.

Plays well in Indy debut Grupe made both field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact The kicker was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday to replace Michael Badgley, who had missed three extra points in seven games with the Colts this year. Grupe himself failed to connect on eight field-goal tries with the Saints earlier this season, but he got another shot and made the most of it Sunday. The third-year pro should get another chance next Sunday at Seattle, though he may not have many scoring opportunities against one of the league's best defenses.

Bumps up to active roster The Colts elevated Grupe from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at Jacksonville.

Impact Indianapolis opted to move on from Michael Badgley after he missed his third PAT in seven games with the team, waiving him Tuesday. The team tried out three kickers that day and proceeded to sign Grupe to the practice squad. With his jump to the active roster, he'll look to improve upon the 18-for-26 field-goal attempts and 15 of 15 point-after tries that he connected on in 11 appearances with the Saints before they cut him on Nov. 25.

Colts sign former Saints kicker Blake Grupe to practice squad

The Indianapolis Colts have signed former New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe to the practice squad one day after waiving Michael Badgley

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • Associated Press

Finds work in Indy The Colts signed Grupe to their practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact After Michael Badgley missed his third point-after attempt in just seven games in this past Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans, the Colts worked out three kickers Tuesday. Grupe emerged from the tryout with a spot on the practice squad, and he should be on track to be elevated or signed to the Colts' 53-man roster in advance of Sunday's game in Jacksonville after Indianapolis officially waived Badgley on Tuesday. Indianapolis will mark the second stop of Grupe's professional career after he had served as the Saints' kicker since the start of the 2023 season before being cut loose last week. Grupe had missed eight field-goal tries in 26 attempts for New Orleans this season, but he's converted at a more palatable 79.8 percent clip for his career.

Saints Sign Kicker to Practice Squad After Trying Out Justin Tucker New Orleans cut kicker Blake Grupe on Tuesday after he missed two field goal attempts in the loss to the Falcons.

Time in New Orleans ends The Saints cut Grupe on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Grupe knocked down a career-best 87.1 percent of his field-goal tries in 2024, but his accuracy had cratered during his third NFL season. After missing attempts from 38 and 47 yards in the Saints' Week 12 loss to the Falcons, Grupe's conversion rate for the season dropped to 69.2 percent, placing him last among all NFL kickers with at least 20 attempts. The Saints have signed Cade York to their practice squad following a tryout, and he'll presumably be elevated or signed to the 53-man roster to step in as the team's new kicker beginning with Sunday's game in Miami.
