Perfect again Sunday Badgley converted his only field-goal attempt from 34 yards and made all four extra-point attempts in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.

Impact Badgley has converted all three field-goal and all 11 extra-point attempts since joining the Colts. With Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) landing on injured reserve prior after Week 6, Badgley will continue to be Indy's placekicker. However, it's not clear when Blankenship may return.

Converts all four kicks Badgley converted his only field-goal attempt from 43 yards and made all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's win at San Francisco.

Impact Badgley converting all four kicks was no small feat given the the rainy and windy conditions. With Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) landing on injured reserve prior to the Week 6 contest, Badgley will continue to be Indy's placekicker. However, it's not clear when Blankenship may return.

Elevated to active roster The Colts elevated Badgley from their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Badgley was promoted to the active roster ahead of Sunday's win over the Texans and kicked well enough, knocking home his lone field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point attempts. With Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) landing on injured reserve prior to the Week 6 contest, Badgley should hold down the kicking job for at least two more games.

Demoted to practice squad Badgley reverted to Indianapolis' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Badgley performed well in Rodrigo Blankenship's place, knocking through all four extra points and his lone attempted field goal. There's a good chance he could be thrust into action yet again in Week 7 against San Francisco.

Will fill in against Houston Badgley will be elevated from the practice squad Sunday against Houston to take the place of Rodrigo Blankenship (hip), JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

Impact Badgley started the season with the Titans but was let go after a poor Week 1 performance in which he missed his lone field-goal attempt and one of two PAT tries. Despite his accuracy issues, Badgley has some upside in this favorable matchup for the Colts offense. If he proves serviceable, Badgley could see more opportunities in the event Blankenship's absence stretches beyond Week 6.

OCTOBER 14, 2021 • Associated Press

Inked to Indy's practice squad The Colts will sign Badgley to their practice squad Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Badgley missed his only field-goal attempt with the Titans in Week 1 before being promptly cut by the team. The 26-year-old may not have to wait long for his next opportunity, however, as the Colts could elevate him to the roster for Sunday's game against the Texans if top kicker Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) isn't available.

Loses job to Vizcaino The Chargers are cutting Badgley on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Badgley converted only 73 percent of his field-goal attempts last season and lost his job to Tristan Vizcaino this summer. Vizcaino could even be useful for fantasy this season if the Chargers offense becomes a top-10 unit in Year 2 for Justin Herbert.

Offensive line a priority as Chargers, Telesco go into draft

Back with Chargers The Chargers are re-signing Badgley, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Badgley is coming off a disastrous season, having converted just 73 percent of his field-goal attempts (worst among all kickers who attempted 30 or more field goals in 2020), including just two of six tries from 50-plus yards out. The team also signed placekicker Tristan Vizcaino earlier this month, and more competition for Badgley could surface as the offseason progresses.

Impact The third-year kicker might be on thin ice after posting the third-worst field-goal percentage among kickers who attempted 30 or more field goals this season. Missed game winners and extra points plagued Badgley throughout the season to the point where head coach Anthony Lynn repeatedly questioned his kicker's confidence in post-game pressers. What's worse, the 25-year-old's trademark big leg was nowhere to be found as Badgley connected on just two of his six attempts from 50-plus yards, bringing his career total to a paltry 3-of-9. Los Angeles will almost surely bring in some form of competition during the offseason in an effort to fix its long-standing issues with special teams.

Bounces back with game-winner Badgley made all four of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Broncos.

Impact Badgley converted from 37, 43, 25 and 37 yards on his respective field goals, with his final one clinching victory for the Chargers with just under a minute remaining. After recent miscues, Badgley will be pleased by his performance Sunday, which also netted him a season-high 13 points. He'll now aim to close the season strong in Week 17 versus the Chiefs.
