K Chase McLaughlin

The Colts placed Adam Vinatieri on the injured reserve list two weeks ago and the job now falls to the rookie in McLaughlin. He made five of six kicks in the Week 14 loss against the Bucs. His missed field goal loomed large in a three-point loss, but it was mostly an encouraging performance.

The Colts might be looking to replace Vinatieri this offseason. As they do so, McLaughlin will get an advantage over the other available kickers because he can show them in game speed how much of an impact he can have.

He gets three more games to prove his worth, and it starts Monday night against the Saints.
