Indianapolis Colts cut kicker Rodrigo Blankenship after Week 1 struggles

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts waived kicker Rodrigo Blankenship on Tuesday, two days after his ongoing struggles culminated in a missed would-be 42-yard game-winning field goal in the season opener.

The Colts did not immediately fill the kicker spot on their active roster, instead signing kickers Chase McLaughlin and Lucas Havrisik to their practice squad.

The Colts likely will promote one of the new kickers to the active roster before their Week 2 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

The Colts filled Blankenship's spot on the 53-man roster by signing cornerback Tony Brown from their practice squad.
