Colts kicker Spencer Shrader injures groin, questionable to return

Colts kicker Spencer Shrader injured his groin during pregame warmups before the game against the Texans. The team announced that he is questionable to return. Punter Rigoberto Sanchez kicked off at the game's start, indicating Shrader's injury was known prior. Without a reliable kicker, the Colts may have to abandon field goals and be more aggressive on fourth downs. Last season, Sanchez handled the kickoffs when Shrader was injured, but he has not attempted field goals in his NFL career. Shrader had made nine consecutive kicks after an earlier struggle this season.
