Shrader converted all three of his extra-point tries but did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans. Matt Gay (hernia) was unable to practice leading up to Week 1, which prompted the Colts to promote Shrader from the practice squad. Shrader didn't end up attempting a field goal in Sunday's loss, though he was perfect on all of his extra-point attempts. Shrader will likely be elevated to the active roster for Week 2 against the Packers if Gay is unable to participate in practice.

Shrader is in line to assume kicking duties for the Colts in Week 1 against the Texans after Matt Gay (hernia) was declared inactive. Shrader was called up from the practice squad Saturday, and the rookie out of Notre Dame will now make his NFL debut. During his fifth collegiate season with the Irish, Shrader converted on 15 of 22 field-goal attempts and 61 of 62 extra points. While the accuracy wasn't tremendous, he did connect on four kicks of 50-plus yards that season.

The Colts elevated Shrader from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against Houston. Matt Gay missed practice all week after undergoing surgery on a sports hernia following Indianapolis' last preseason game Aug. 22. Shrader's promotion would appear to indicate Gay won't be available Sunday, but official word on the Colts' plans at kicker won't be available until the team announces its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Shrader signed with the Colts' practice squad Thursday. Shrader was facing an uphill battle to beat out Matt Gay for the team's kicker job, but he did manage to earn a spot on the practice squad. An undrafted free agent out of USF, Shrader will likely have a chance to be promoted to the active roster if Gay gets injured.
