Chase McLaughlin, whom the Colts claimed off waivers earlier this week, will take over placekicking duties. While it's not yet clear if Vinatieri will return this season, coach Frank Reich said that a move to injured reserve "has not been discussed," adding that the Colts are viewing the 46-year-old as week-to-week, per Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star.
