    Colts K Spencer Shrader (groin) left Indianapolis’ Week 3 game against the Texans and is questionable to return.

    Rigoberto Sanchez will supposedly handle kicking, Shrader appears to have been injured in pre-game workouts.

    Grupe, who had a “90% make rate in camp” per Mike Garafolo, has a chance to come aboard late and win a different kicking job. Spencer Shrader will kick for the Colts this year.
  • IND Kicker #3
    The first report of Shrader’s season-ending injury came from The Pat McAfee Show. Shrader, who has made 13-of-14 field goals for the Colts this season, exited Week 5’s game against the Raiders after a defender collided with his knee. It didn’t look good the moment it happened, so the season-ending report doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Shrader reportedly tore multiple ligaments in his knee, but will hopefully be able to return in time for the 2026 season. The Colts will bring in a new kicker later this week.
  • IND Kicker #3
    Officially, Shrader has been ruled out with a knee issue after a defender crashed into his kicking leg following an extra point, but it also looked like it could be a severe leg or ankle issue. Either way, the Colts won’t have a kicker for the second half, and will be on the market for a replacement this week. Shrader competed with Matt Gay in training camp, but Gay is now the kicker in Washington.
  • IND Kicker #40
    It makes sense after the Colts signed Shrader to a two-year contract shortly before releasing Matt Gay, who later signed with the Commanders. Maddux Trujillo, an undrafted free agent out of Temple, would appear to be next in line for the team’s starting gig if Shrader — who made all five of his 2024 field goal tries — falters in the summer. The Colts in 2024 attempted 37 field goals, the 13th most in the league.
  • FA Kicker
    Gay, who signed as a free agent in 2023, made 64-of-78 field goals (82.1 percent) and 68-of-69 PATs (98.6 percent) in 33 games with the Colts. The six-year veteran was a Pro Bowl selection in 2021 with the Rams, helping his team win a Super Bowl that season. The move leaves the Colts with Spencer Shrader as the lone kicker on their roster. Per Over the Cap, the move creates $2.75 million in cap space for the Colts.
  • IND Kicker #40
    Shrader joined the Colts as an undrafted free agent rookie last year before briefly spending time on both the Jets and Chiefs’ rosters. A right-leg hamstring strain sidelined him at the end of the season but, on the season, he converted 5-of-5 field goals and 9-of-9 extra points. The Athletic’s James Boyd notes that incumbent K Matt Gay remains on the roster, and that the signing was done “to promote more competition throughout the roster.” The team can save $4 million by cutting Gay after June 1.
  • KC Kicker #49
    Wright will kick in place of injured backup K Spencer Shrader (right hamstring). Wright was a reliable extra-point kicker for the Chiefs in 2022 but his leg became a little more erratic in the 30-to-49-yard field goal depths, averaging an 80.0 percent conversion rate. His abilities should be sufficient for K1 streaming viability. The Chiefs are likely to move the ball effortlessly against a Raiders defense missing its top two cornerbacks.
  • KC Kicker #40
    Shrader was unable to practice at all this week, even in a limited capacity, and starting K Harrison Butker remains on injured reserve. Matthew Wright will kick for the Chiefs this week, and possibly next. Wright kicked for the Chiefs in 2022, going 15-of-15 on point-after attempts but his accuracy dipped on field goals from the 30-to-49-yard range (12-of-15). He did convert 2-of-2 from 50-plus yards though. Wright is a viable streamer for Week 13.
  • KC Kicker #40
    Shrader is now firmly on the wrong side of questionable, having missed both of the Chiefs’ first two practices this week. The Chiefs notably signed K Matthew Wright to the practice squad on Tuesday. Shrader makes for a very risky start, if active.
  • KC Kicker #35
    With Spencer Shrader not practicing due to a hamstring injury, the Chiefs could turn to Wright as their kicker on Black Friday against the Raiders. Wright went 3-for-3 for the 49ers earlier this year and has a career 86.0 percent success rate on field goals in five seasons.

    Tom Pelissero of The Ringer reports that the Cowboys have acquired Joey Porter Jr. in a trade with the Steelers.

    In exchange for Porter, the Cowboys will send the Steelers a second-round selection as well as a conditional sixth-round pick. Pelissero noted in his blog that trade talks between Dallas and Pittsburgh had picked up over the past few weeks, and the deal will soon become official. Porter has yet to play a snap in 2026 as he has dealt with a back injury, and also a contract dispute. The 26-year-old is one of the more talented corners in football, and Dallas has struggled considerably to stop the pass over the first three weeks. Assuming good health, Porter should be a vast improvement over what the Cowboys have gotten out of their corners to begin 2026.

    Will Shipley (foot) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Shipley was limited by his foot issue in Week 3, and received just two targets in the passing game with no carries. With Tank Bigsby a full-go during Wednesday’s estimated session, Shipley is looking at a limited amount of touches even if he can go in Week 4.

    Jadarian Price (chest) was limited in Wednesday’s practice ahead of Week 4 against the Chargers.

    Price was able to play in Week 3 despite the chest ailment, although he was benched for most of the first half after giving up a second fumble of the season. If Price can’t go, George Holani and Emmanuel Wilson — not necessarily in that order — would be the replacements, and are likely to be involved regardless.

    Eagles WLB Zack Baun is in the league’s concussion protocol.

    It’s less than ideal news for the Eagles’ every-down ‘backer with the team on a short week against the Rams. Teams seem to be getting players through the protocol faster than ever of late, but the Eagles’ six-day work week has play-making Baun firmly on the wrong side of questionable.

    DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was held out of Wednesday’s practice.

    This is the same routine Smith followed last week before ultimately suiting up against the Bears on Monday Night Football. Perhaps the pattern changes with the Eagles on a short week against the Rams, but we would fully expect Smith to be out there as a high-end WR2 this weekend.

    Dallas Goedert (knee) remained sidelined at Wednesday’s practice.

    That leaves Goedert extremely likely to miss his second consecutive contest when the Eagles host the Rams this Sunday. Zach Ertz was Goedert’s feel-good Week 3 fill-in, but Ertz’s 38 percent snap share ended up producing one catch on two targets. With this entire offense looking rather sluggish at the moment, Ertz does not have TE2 streamer appeal.

    ESPN’s Kris Rhim reports Keaton Mitchell was wearing a walking boot on his left foot after practice.

    He was eventually added to the injury report as “limited” with an ankle issue. Per Rhim, Mitchell told reporters in the locker room he was okay. Mitchell was not initially on the injury report. This obviously flared up during practice but he didn’t have it looked at until after the report was posted. We will get more clarity on the situation tomorrow. Mitchell’s role grew in Week 3 with 11 touches, but a foot or ankle injury would likely limit any further progress.

    Jackson Powers-Johnson (groin) did not practice Wednesday.

    Powers-Johnson was the only Raider who missed practice because of an injury. Former third-round pick Caleb Rogers filled in for JPJ on Sunday, though he was only needed for five snaps. Rogers would presumably draw the start if Powers-Johnson can’t go.

    J.K. Dobbins (hip) is practicing in full for Week 4 against the 49ers.

    RJ Harvey was checked for a concussion in Week 3 and is not on the injury report today, meaning both backs are good to go for Week 4. Dobbins saw 17 carries versus the Rams compared to just two for Harvey, though the latter caught six passes. Dobbins caught one pass. The rushing advantage will keep Dobbins in the RB3 mix for Week 4.

    KhaDarel Hodge (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

    This is a low blow, even for the subsation. Hodge began the year on San Francisco’s practice squad but was promoted to the active roster when De’Zhaun Stribling went down with an ankle injury. He wound up running 45 percent of the routes in Week 3 but was not targeted once. With Mike Evans also banged up, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins could be in line for more work this week.
