INJURIES

Placed on IR Blankenship (hip) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Blankenship had already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 6 matchup due to a hip injury that he sustained last week, but he'll be forced to miss at least three games. Michael Badgley was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

OCTOBER 16, 2021 • COLTS.COM
Ruled out for Week 6 Blankenship (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact With Blankenship unavailable this weekend, fellow kicker Michael Badgley is slated to be promoted from the Colts' practice squad to the team's active roster in advance of Sunday's contest.
OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Still absent Thursday Blankenship (hip) was unavailable for Thursday's practice.
Impact The kicker was a non-participant at practice for the second consecutive day after he suffered a hip injury Monday night against the Ravens. The Colts added kicker Michael Badgley to their practice squad on Wednesday in case Blankenship is unable to go Sunday versus the Texans.
OCTOBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
No practice Wednesday Blankenship (hip) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
Impact Blankenship's absence from practice comes as little surprise, after head coach Frank Reich said the kicker underwent an MRI on Tuesday after dealing with the hip injury in Monday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Ravens. The Colts tried out some kickers Wednesday and signed Michael Badgley to the practice squad, per Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis. Badgley will presumably be elevated to the 53-man roster by Saturday if the Colts aren't confident Blankenship will be ready to kick Sunday against the Texans.

Gets MRI, Week 6 status in question Colts head coach Frank Reich said Blankenship (hip) underwent an MRI on Tuesday, leaving the kicker's status uncertain heading into a Week 6 matchup with the Texans, Joel A. Ericks...
Impact The Colts already seem to be bracing for Blankenship not being available for Sunday's game, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relaying Wednesday that the team worked out Brett Maher and Michael Badgley, among other kickers. Blankenship was clearly limited by the injury in the Colts' Week 5 loss to the Ravens on Monday, telling Stephen Holder of The Athletic that he felt "stabbing pain" in his right hip prior to the contest. Though he proceeded to play through the pain, he missed one of two extra-point attempts, had a 37-yard field-goal attempt blocked and misfired on another try from 47 yards that would have won the game.
OCTOBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Availability looking iffy Coach Frank Reich said Tuesday that he's uncertain about the severity of Blankenship's hip injury, Joel Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Reich confirmed that Blankenship has undergone an MRI, and he addressed the possibility of Indianapolis bringing in another kicker. Still, for the time being, it remains unclear whether Blankenship will be forced to miss time. The Colts take on the Texans this weekend.

Injured Rodrigo Blankenship missed the mark, but other Colts also came up short vs. Ravens The kicker's painful hip resulted in some of the most glaring mistakes in Indy's catastrophic collapse, but they weren't the only ones.
OCTOBER 12, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Battling hip injury Blankenship played through a hip injury suffered during the first quarter of Monday night's game against Baltimore, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
Impact Blankenship obviously wasn't right after suffering the injury, missing one of two extra points and two of four field goal attempts. One of his field goal misses would have won his team the game as time expired. It's currently unclear if the injury will force Blankenship to miss time, but the Colts will likely audition other placekickers heading into Week 6 against the Texans.
OCTOBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Perfect on five kicks Blankenship made both field-goal attempts and all three PATs during Sunday's 27-17 win over the Dolphins.
Impact Blankenship converted on field goals from 34 and 43 yards as he remains perfect from inside 50 yards this season. The 24-year-old is 9-for-10 on field goals and 6-for-6 on PATs heading into the Week 5 matchup at Baltimore.
OCTOBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Scores 10 points Blankenship made three of four field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 25-16 loss to the Titans.
Impact Blankenship converted from 43, 28 and 24 yards before going wide right with his final field-goal attempt, a 51-yarder. With his second straight 10-point outing, Blankenship now sports 24 through the Colts' first three games.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Converts all three FG attempts Blankenship converted all three field-goal attempts from 48, 46 and 35 yards and made his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's loss to the Rams
Impact Blankenship has converted all four field-goal attempts this season and his two 45-plus yard conversions bode well for repeating his success from that distance last season. The 2020 UDFA went 31-for-34 from inside 50 yards last year.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • INDYSTAR.COM
Doesn't miss in season opener Blankenship connected on his only field-goal attempt and made his only extra-point attempt during Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Blankenship once again came out of a training camp competition on top and started his 2021 campaign off without a hitch. He connected on a 21-yard attempt on the Colts' opening drive and sank an extra point two drives later, but as the Seahawks started to pull away, the Colts elected to keep him sidelined. The 2020 UDFA went 31-for-34 from inside 50 yards last year, but his lack of 50-plus yard attempts (1-for-3) significantly impacts his fantasy upside.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Wins kicking battle Blankenship has won the Colts' kicking job with the team releasing Eddy Pineiro on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Undrafted last year, Blankenship won the job with a strong training camp and converted 32 of 37 field-goal attempts (86.5 percent) in the regular season. However, he had just three attempts from 50-plus yards, missing two, and then missed a field goal in a playoff loss to Buffalo. Blankenship will keep his spot for Week 1, but the month-long job battle with Pineiro this summer suggests Colts brass isn't entirely sold on him.
AUGUST 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Makes 47-yard FG Blankenship converted his only field goal attempt from 47 yards in Saturday's preseason win at Minnesota.
Impact Both Blankenship and Eddy Pineiro have been nearly perfect in training camp and the preseason. Blankenship will likely retain this starting job from last season unless he stumbles. He had a solid rookie campaign, missing only five kicks (including PATs) inside of 50 yards. However, he had a key 33-yard misfire late in the third quarter against Buffalo during the playoffs.
