Grupe made his lone field-goal attempt and both PATs in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Grupe's field goal was good from 33 yards. In four games since signing with the Colts following his ouster from New Orleans, Grupe has righted the ship on his 2025 season and is a perfect 8-for-8 on field goals and 7-for-7 on extra points. He gets a tough Week 18 matchup with Houston.

Grupe made both of his field-goal tries and all three PATs in Monday night's 48-27 loss to the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Grupe's field goals were good from 39 and 51 yards, and he's now a perfect 7-for-7 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra points across three games with the Colts after struggling through 11 contests with the Saints earlier this season.

Grupe connected on all three field-goal attempts, including a 60-yarder, and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
The 60-yard field goal briefly gave Indianapolis a one-point lead with less than a minute to play, though Seattle drove back down for a clutch field goal of its own to win it. Grupe also made a 54-yarder and a 42-yarder in this one, as he stayed perfect across two games with the Colts since replacing Michael Badgley. Though Grupe missed eight field goals in 11 games with the Saints earlier in the year, he seems to have found his groove with his new team.

The Colts signed Grupe to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Grupe was elevated to make his Colts debut during the team's Week 14 loss to the Jaguars, in which he converted both of his field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt. With the team having cut Michael Badgley and with Spencer Shrader (knee) out for the year, Grupe figures to operate as Indianapolis' kicker for the remainder of the 2025 campaign, assuming he's able to keep up his consistency. Next on deck for Grupe and the Colts is a road matchup against Seattle on Sunday.

Grupe reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Grupe was elevated to the Colts' active roster for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, during which he connected on both of his field-goal attempts and his lone point-after try. He served as the Colts' starting placekicker ahead of Michael Badgley, and Grupe should have another opportunity to kick this Sunday against the Seahawks.

Grupe made both field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
The kicker was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday to replace Michael Badgley, who had missed three extra points in seven games with the Colts this year. Grupe himself failed to connect on eight field-goal tries with the Saints earlier this season, but he got another shot and made the most of it Sunday. The third-year pro should get another chance next Sunday at Seattle, though he may not have many scoring opportunities against one of the league's best defenses.

The Colts elevated Grupe from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at Jacksonville.
EDGE Analysis
Indianapolis opted to move on from Michael Badgley after he missed his third PAT in seven games with the team, waiving him Tuesday. The team tried out three kickers that day and proceeded to sign Grupe to the practice squad. With his jump to the active roster, he'll look to improve upon the 18-for-26 field-goal attempts and 15 of 15 point-after tries that he connected on in 11 appearances with the Saints before they cut him Nov. 25.

The Colts signed Grupe to their practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After Michael Badgley missed his third point-after attempt in just seven games in this past Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans, the Colts worked out three kickers Tuesday. Grupe emerged from the tryout with a spot on the practice squad, and he should be on track to be elevated or signed to the Colts' 53-man roster in advance of Sunday's game in Jacksonville after Indianapolis officially waived Badgley on Tuesday. Indianapolis will mark the second stop of Grupe's professional career after he had served as the Saints' kicker since the start of the 2023 season before being cut loose last week. Grupe had missed eight field-goal tries in 26 attempts for New Orleans this season, but he's converted at a more palatable 79.8 percent clip for his career.

The Saints waived Grupe on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grupe knocked down a career-best 87.1 percent of his field-goal tries in 2024, but his accuracy had cratered during his third NFL season. After missing attempts from 38 and 47 yards in the Saints' Week 12 loss to the Falcons, Grupe's conversion rate for the season dropped to 69.2 percent, placing him last among all NFL kickers with at least 20 attempts. The Saints have signed Cade York to their practice squad following a tryout, and he'll presumably be elevated or signed to the 53-man roster to step in as the team's new kicker beginning with Sunday's game in Miami.

Grupe made just one of three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in New Orleans' 24-10 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a trying season for Grupe, who is now just 18 of 26 on field-goal tries this season. His misses against Atlanta came from 38 and 47 yards. Grupe is likely on thin ice in New Orleans after the team flirted with kickers earlier this season.
