• Bills' Michael Badgley: Elevated for Week 16

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  The Bills have elevated Badgley from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Browns. 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.

• Michael Badgley: Finds opportunity in Buffalo

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  The Bills signed Badgley to their practice squad Tuesday. 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 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 in the coming days, but Badgley appears to be in line to get signed off or elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's contest. Badgley 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.

• Michael Badgley: Cut loose by Colts

  The Colts waived Badgley on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports. 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 with the Colts after Spencer Shrader sustained a season-ending knee injury. Indy auditioned a number of kickers Tuesday and will sign a replacement for Badgley ahead of Sunday's game in Jacksonville.

• Colts' Michael Badgley: Converts only FGA in loss

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Badgley made his only field-goal try and went 1-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans. 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, and ultimately the team turned 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.

  Badgley made both of his field-goal tries and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs. Coming off a Week 10 game in Berlin in which he missed a pair of kicks, Sunday marked a strong rebound game for Badgley, who has now made nine of 11 field-goal tries and 17 of 19 extra-point attempts in six games with the Colts this season.
