Spencer Shrader - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Competition departs Shrader is the only remaining kicker on Indianapolis' roster following the release of Matt Gay on Thursday.

Impact Shrader inked a two-year deal with the Colts mid-March after a tumultuous rookie campaign, in which he appeared in four combined games between Indianapolis, Kansas City and the Jets. He converted all five of his field-goal tries and all nine extra-point attempts across those appearances. Gay, meanwhile, went 31 for 37 on field-goal tries across 16 regular-season appearances with the Colts, with all six misses coming from 50-plus yards out. Indianapolis will doubtless bring in further options to compete with Shrader this offseason, but Gay's release provides him a clear path to securing the No. 1 job.

Circles back to Colts Shrader signed a two-year deal with the Colts on Thursday.

Impact Shrader had a whirlwind rookie season, as he appeared in games for the Colts, Chiefs and Jets. In total, he went 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and converted all nine of his extra-point attempts across four games. Shrader will presumably take over as the Colts' kicker, likely signaling the end of Matt Gay's tenure with the team.

Colts sign K Spencer Shrader The Colts made the roster move on Thursday.

Non-tendered by Kansas City Shrader (hamstring) became an unrestricted free agent Wednesday after the Chiefs did not tender his contract, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact Shrader played two regular-season games for the Chiefs while filling in for Harrison Butker, who was on injured reserve due to a knee injury. Shrader went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all six of his extra-point tries with Kansas City, but he himself went on IR in early December due to a hamstring injury. Now that he's an unrestricted free agent, Shrader will have the freedom to sign with a team looking to sign a kicker.

Lands on IR Shrader (hamstring) has been placed on IR by the Chiefs.

Impact Shrader is thus slated to miss at least four games, and in a corresponding move the Chiefs signed Matthew Wright to an active roster contract, which sets the stage for him to kick Sunday against the Chargers. Beyond that, it's possible that Harrison Butker (knee) could return to the mix as soon as Week 15.

Ruled out for Friday Shrader (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's Week 13 matchup against Las Vegas.

Impact Shrader wasn't able to practice at all this week due to a hamstring injury that occurred during a private workout Monday. The rookie took over kicking duties from the injured Harrison Butker (knee) for Kansas City in Week 11 and converted all three of his field-goal tries and all six of his extra-point attempts over two contests. With Shrader ruled out Friday, Kansas City elevated Matthew Wright from its practice squad to kick against the Raiders.

Logs DNP on Wednesday Shrader (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Shrader has now logged consecutive DNPs to begin the Chiefs' week of practice after injuring his hamstring in a private workout Monday, so it appears increasingly likely that he may be sidelined for Friday's matchup against the Raiders. The Notre Dame product has performed well while filling in for the injured Harrison Butker (knee) over the last two games, converting all three of his field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point tries. Kansas City added Matthew Wright to its practice squad Tuesday, so he's expected to assume the Chiefs' kicking duties if Shrader is held out in Week 13.

DNP on Tuesday Shrader (hamstring) did not practice Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Impact Shrader made all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

Perfect in close win Shrader made all of his three field-goal tries and converted all of his three extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-27 win at Carolina.

Impact Among Shrader's field goals in Week 12 was a 31-yarder as time expired to win the game for the Chiefs. He hasn't missed a kick since he took over at the position for Kansas City in Week 11, and he'll be looking to build on his success in Week 13 versus the Raiders.

Andy Reid on Rookie Kicker Spencer Shrader: 'I Look Forward to Seeing Him Do His Thing' | Press Conference 11/15 Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed the media on Friday ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • CHIEFS.COM

To handle kicking duties moving forward Coach Andy Reid said Shrader will handle all kicking duties for the Chiefs during Harrison Butker's (knee) absence, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Impact Butker underwent surgery on the meniscus in his left knee Friday, resulting in his placement on injured reserve. As such, he'll miss at least four games during his recovery, a stretch that will allow Shrader to be the team's regular placekicker. Shrader has appeared in two games as a fill-in for the Colts and Jets this season, connecting on both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries.

Jets Kicking Situation Takes New Turn Following Signing Spencer Shrader’s time with New York has come to an end after an impressive debut on Sunday.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Filling in for injured Butker The Chiefs signed Shrader off the Jets' practice squad Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact With Harrison Butker suffering a left knee injury that will likely result in his placement on injured reserve, Shrader is poised to take over as Kansas City's kicker beginning with Sunday's game against the Bills. An undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame, Shrader has previously made one appearance apiece for the Colts and the Jets this season, converting on field-goal attempts for 45 and 25 yards while going 3-for-3 on extra-point tries. During his five-year collegiate career, Shrader knocked down 68.3 percent of his field goals and had a long of 54 yards.

NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to practice squad Shrader reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact With Greg Zuerlein (knee) on injured reserve, Shrader was the second kicker in as many games to get a chance, taking over for the the cut Riley Patterson in Week 10 at Arizona. Shrader connected on both of his field-goal attempts but didn't get a PAT. He's one of two kickers on the Jets' practice squad -- also, Anders Carlson -- but considering Shrader got the call this week, he likely has better odds to do so again this coming Sunday against the Colts.
