Between now and training camp, we will be going through the Indianapolis Colts’ full 90-man roster, previewing each player.
Up next is kicker Blake Grupe, who wears No. 10.

How long has Blake Grupe been with the Colts?
Grupe was signed late last season as the Colts navigated inconsistency at kicker with Michael Badgley, who replaced Spencer Shrader after he was placed on injured reserve with a season-ending knee injury.
His first game was in Week 14. The Colts then re-signed him this offseason as a free agent.
Recapping Blake Grupe’s 2025 season
Grupe was available last season after being released by the New Orleans Saints. However, with the Colts, he was nothing but reliable.
From Week 14 through the end of the season, Grupe was a perfect 10-for-10 on field goal attempts and 11-for-11 on extra points, according to PFF. He provided the Colts with needed stability at the position.
Looking ahead to 2026 for Blake Grupe
Grupe is competing with Spencer Shrader for the Colts’ kicking job. Where Grupe may have an advantage is in his experience — he’s had far more field goal attempts than Shrader, who is also coming off an injury.
Grupe may be carrying the early lead into training camp.
