Overview

  • Indianapolis finalized the move Tuesday, placing Shrader on injured reserve after a diagnosis of torn ACL and MCL in his right knee.
  • Shrader was hurt when Raiders safety Tristin McCollum collided with him on a second‑quarter extra point, drawing a roughing‑the‑kicker penalty.
  • Badgley joins the 53‑man roster following a prior 2021 stint with the Colts in which he went 18-for-21 on field goals and 39-for-39 on PATs.
  • The 30-year-old has an 82.4% career field‑goal rate and missed the 2024 season with a hamstring tear sustained with the Lions.
  • Before the injury, Shrader led the NFL with 53 points, went 13-for-14 on field goals, was perfect on PATs, and earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for September.
