MICHAEL BADGLEY NEWS

The Colts plan to stick with Michael Badgley despite two missed kicks versus Patriots Michael Badgley continues to struggle with longer field goals, but the Colts don't have any plans to shake up the position quite yet.

Job safe for now Coach Frank Reich said the Colts are not anticipating replacing Badgley as the team's kicker, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact Badgley missed a 49-yard field goal Saturday against New England, but he did make 41 and 25-yard attempts. Despite a decent showing, it was Badgley's second consecutive contest with a missed field-goal. The team can't afford shaky play from its kicker while in the midst of a playoff bid, though it appears the Colts still have faith in Badgley for the time being.

Misses first field goal with Colts Badgley made one of his two field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Texans.

Impact Badgley missed a 35-yard attempt wide left in the first quarter, but he was able to bounce back in the second half to connect on a 23-yarder. Rodrigo Blankenship (hip) remains without a timetable to return, but given the Colts' Week 14 bye, he has a lot of time to recover before Indianapolis returns to action Dec. 18. If Badgley remains the starter in Week 15, he could be in line for a solid workload against the Patriots' stout defense.
