After waiving Rodrigo Blankenship just one week into the NFL season veteran kicker Chase McLaughlin had been on a three week trial run. McLaughlin had been elevated from the practice squad before every game he had appeared in this season, but that stops today as he was officially added to the Indianapolis Colts 53-man roster.
During the past three games McLaughlin has connected on all four of his extra point attempts and has gone three of four on his field goal attempts only missing a 51-yard attempt late in the fourth quarter of last Sundays 24-17 loss to the Titans.
Even though McLaughlin hasn’t been perfect this season he has done just enough to earn a spot on the 53-man roster and he’ll have to continue this type of consistency if he wants to stay with the team.
