Indianapolis Colts PK Spencer Shrader, who was signed shortly before the team released PK Matt Gay, is set to battle undrafted free-agent PK Maddox Trujillo for the kicking duties in the preseason, but the job is Shrader’s to lose, in the opinion of The Athletic’s James Boyd. Shrader went 5-for-5 while splitting time with the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs last season.
