The Colts are signing PK Chase McLaughlin and PK Lucas Havrisik to the practice squad, per sources.

So after cutting Rodrigo Blankenship, Indy adds two guys it knows -- McLaughlin was there in 2019, Havrisik in rookie camp -- and plan to elevate one for Sunday at Jacksonville

Chase McLaughlin isn't very good and I have no idea who Havrisik even is. At least Blankenship is gone.

yeah...at this point in the season they are available for a reason...

Both have stronger legs and should be much better at kickoffs. Sign a strong leg and pray that you hit paydirt. Most likely not.

Should have signed Josh Lambo who is available and killed us for years with Jacksonville.

He’s a good kicker.

The Colts looked at Lambo today - he was in Indy for the kicker tryout.

(vs. VIKINGS, 12/17)

(1) ) McLaughlin was 5-for-5 in field-goal attempts yesterday, including a 52-yarder and a 49-yarder.

(2) ) McLaughlin was waiting for a chance to boot a 6th and game-clinching kick from 53 yards out when Jeff Saturday opted to go for it on 4th-and-1.

(3) ) For the season overall, McLaughlin is 8-for-11 from 50+ yards, and is 8-for-9 from 40-49 yards.

Saturday knew his job was to finish the tank. No way he kicks it and wins. Not what he was hired to do.

Saturday was hired to win, regardless of what his decision was there.

You could argue that going for it was the right call, but I don't think that Saturday's hands were tied one way or the other. If he had let McLaughlin kick it and he had made it, very few people would have complained about that decision.

I have mixed feelings about the decision, as I could see an argument for either one ...... I was recapping McLaughlin's day, rather than arguing that Saturday made the wrong decision. I think that either decision would have been right because a team needs to be able to get one yard on 4th down, and McLaughlin is having a fantastic, accurate season overall. The only decision that I would have vehemently disagreed with would be if he had chosen to punt the ball.

The way McLaughlin was kicking in that stadium on that particular day, how does Saturday not let him kick it?

If we win McLaughlin is AFC ST player of the week and Saturday has a chance to keep his job. I know what Dungy would have done.

I guess in the long run it works out for us as we are currently drafting #6 and with only one team in front of us, for sure taking a QB.
