What is the talent level between, say, the #10 punter in the league (Rigo) and, say, the #34 punter in the league (whomever we are going to pick up)?
My guess is that there are at least 35-40 guys who are of NFL quality when it comes to punters on rosters or on speed dial. Sure, will they be as good? No, but will their performance have THAT much of an impact on overall team performance? I am skeptical that we will lose much performance.
Some, but not much.
I wish Rigo a swift recovery and hope he is the Colts punter for 2023
and beyond. But if we have to lose a starter to the NFL injury gods whim, this is probably the best one to lose.

He punts AND kicks off. He is top 5 in both. He is a weapon for field position. He holds for the kicker on FG and extra points. Ballard is going to be busy
