AFC Notes: Colts, Jaguars, Titans

Colts

• Colts HC Frank Reich didn’t endorse K Rodrigo Blankenship when asked about the team’s kicking situation again on Monday: “Guy had a bad day, does he have the confidence to bounce back? Do we have the patience for him to bounce back? Those are all of the things you work through.” (Zak Keefer)
• Indianapolis waived Blankenship on Tuesday. 
• Colts DC Gus Bradley on LB Kwity Paye’s two sacks in overtime: “(He’s) a guy himself that wants to develop, to have a few more tools in his tool belt to use in special situations, whether he’s getting chipped or not, so it was cool to see him bring those things to life in the game.” (James Boyd)
• Colts waived K Rodrigo Blankenship. (NFLTR)

Titans

Titans OC Todd Downing believes that former Ohio State OL Nicholas Petit-Frere is coming into his own and is looking forward to what he can do as a rookie.

“It goes back to [Petit-Frere] relying on his foundation,” Downing said, via John Glennon of Sports Illustrated. “He’s shown steady progress and commitment to growth. He’s done things the way we ask him to do them. I believe that his poise, confidence, and his reliance on the techniques he’s learned are going to serve him well. We’re excited to see what he can do.”

• Titans placed DL Da’Shawn Hand and DB A.J. Moore on injured reserve. (NFLTR)
