Indianapolis Colts Have Devastating News for Points Leader

Indianapolis Colts’ kicker Spencer Shrader suffered a concerning knee injury during the second quarter of Week 5 after a defender collided with his right leg on an extra point attempt. He was helped off the field, initially taken to the blue medical tent, and later taken to the locker room for further examination. During Sunday’s postgame press conference, Shane Steichen provided a brief update on Shrader, stating that they didn’t have all the information yet, but the injury didn’t look good.

“It doesn’t look good, but I don’t have the full update,” head coach Shane Steichen said after the game, via the team’s website.
