While starting K Rodrigo Blankenship missed a field goal Sunday, Indianapolis also could just want to have a backup on hand in case Blankenship tests positive for COVID-19.
The Colts practice squad now includes 17 players and Indianapolis will need to make a corresponding move by releasing one of these players:
- DB Andre Chachere
- DT Kameron Cline
- G Jake Eldrenkamp
- WR Daurice Fountain
- TE Farrod Green
- DE Gerri Green
- WR DeMichael Harris
- C Joey Hunt
- QB Chad Kelly
- T Carter O’Donnell
- DB Tremon Smith
- DT Chris Williams
- DT Robert Windsor
- RB Darius Anderson
- TE Charlie Taumoepeau
- S Ibraheim Campbell
- K Matt Gay
Gay, 26, was drafted by the Buccaneers in the fifth round out of Utah in 2019. He was entering the second year of his four-year, $2.8 million deal when Tampa Bay waived him coming out of camp this year.
In 2019, Gay appeared in all 16 games for the Buccaneers and made 27-35 field goal attempts (77.1 percent) and 43-48 extra points (89.6 percent).
