The Bills cut Badgley from the practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Badgley has kicked in each of the last two games for Buffalo, and he's missed an extra point in each contest. Sunday's blocked PAT against the Eagles proved pivotal, as it helped keep Buffalo out of the win column, with coach Sean McDermott opting instead to attempt a game-winning two-point conversion at the end of the fourth quarter rather than putting Badgley back out there for another extra-point attempt.

Badgley missed his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Buffalo was held scoreless until deep into the fourth quarter, and Badgley had his PAT blocked following a two-yard touchdown run by Josh Allen. In two games with the Bills, Badgley has looked shaky, making his lone field-goal try while missing two of his four extra-point attempts. It's unclear if Matt Prater (quadriceps) will be back for Week 18 against the lowly Jets.

Badgley was elevated from the practice squad to the Bills' active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
With Matt Prater (quadriceps) in line to miss his second consecutive game, Badgley will draw another start in Sunday's matchup against the Eagles. Across eight appearances with the Bills and Colts this season, the Miami product has made 11 of 12 field-goal attempts and 18 of 21 point-after tries.

Badgley is expected to be elevated from the practice squad to start versus Philadelphia on Sunday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Badgley is on track to draw a second consecutive start for the Bills with Matt Prater (quadriceps) ruled out again and Tyler Bass (left hip/groin) out for the year. Versus the Browns in Week 16, Badgley converted his only field-goal attempt and two of three extra-point tries.

Badgley reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Badgley was brought up from the practice squad to serve as the Bills' kicker against the Browns on Sunday due to the absences of Matt Prater (quadriceps) and Tyler Bass (left hip/groin - IR). He made his lone field-goal attempt from 41 yards and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries during the 23-20 win. If Prater is unable to progress enough in his recovery, Badgley could be called upon to kick for the Bills this Sunday against the Eagles.

Badgley made two of three extra-point tries and his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
With both Matt Prater (quadriceps) and Tyler Bass (hip) ruled out for Sunday's contest, Badgley assumed the Bills' placekicker duties. He converted on a 41-yard field-goal try late in the third quarter that gave Buffalo a 13-point lead. The 30-year-old has now made 11 of 12 field-goal attempts and 20 of 24 point-after tries through eight games with the Colts and Bills this season. Badgley could serve as Buffalo's top kicker again in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles is Prater remains sidelined.

The Bills have elevated Badgley from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Badgley is set to serve as Buffalo's starting kicker for Week 16 due to Matt Prater (quadriceps) being ruled out and Tyler Bass (hip) out for the season. Given that Prater is considered week-to-week, Badgley will have a chance to secure a multi-game role as the Bills' fill-in kicker as long as he's able to demonstrate accuracy versus Cleveland on Sunday.

The Bills signed Badgley to their practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Tyler Bass (hip) out for the season and with head coach Sean McDermott ruling out Matt Prater (quadriceps) for Week 16, the Bills were in need of a kicker for Sunday's game in Cleveland. The team held a tryout Tuesday featuring Badgley and Matthew Wright, and the former ultimately emerged from the workout with a contract. Since Prater is being viewed as week-to-week, Buffalo could still look to add Wright or another kicker to its practice squad in the coming days, but look for Badgley to get elevated to the roster ahead of Sunday's contest. Badgley most recently served as the Colts' kicker for seven games earlier this season, converting 10 of 11 field-goal tries and 18 of 21 extra-point attempts.

The Colts waived Badgley on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Badgley's dismissal comes as no real surprise after special teams coordinator Brian Mason told the media earlier Tuesday that the Colts would be evaluating "all kicker options that [they] possibly have" this week. Mason's comments came just two days after Badgley missed his third extra-point try in seven games in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans. Overall, Badgley went 18-for-21 on point-after attempts and 10 for 11 on field goals upon joining the Colts in Week 6 after Spencer Shrader sustained a season-ending knee injury. The Colts auditioned a number of kickers Tuesday and will sign a replacement for Badgley ahead of Sunday's game in Jacksonville.

Badgley made his only field-goal try and went 1-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Badgley was able to convert a 42-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, extending his streak to seven straight appearances with a field-goal make. The kicker did however miss his first extra-point try of the day, connecting with the left upright in the first quarter. The miss would come back to hurt Indianapolis late in the game, forcing the team to go for it on fourth-and-9 from Houston's 31 yard line with less than two minutes remaining in regulation, ultimately turning the ball over on downs. Badgley has now gone 10-for-11 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-3 from 50-plus yards, over seven contests with the Colts this year.
