NDIANAPOLIS — The Colts have reversed course at kicker.

Indianapolis waived Michael Badgley on Tuesday, then signed former New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe to their practice squad after a tryout that included former Baltimore Ravens great Justin Tucker.

Badgley was under scrutiny after missing his third extra point in seven games in the Colts’ 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday. Coach Shane Steichen on Monday left the door open to make a change and, earlier Tuesday, special teams coordinator Brian Mason made it clear the Colts were concerned about moving forward with Badgley.

after serving a 10-week suspension for violations of the NFL’s personal conduct policy related to alleged sexual misconduct with Baltimore-area massage therapists. Tucker has denied the allegations.

Tucker got his first workout since his reinstatement with the Saints last week when they were searching for a replacement for Grupe. The Saints opted to sign Cade York instead.
