        Colts K Spencer Shrader left in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Raiders with a right leg injury. He was ruled out for the game before the end of the first half. That bodes ill for his chances of playing in Week 6. We'll see about an official diagnosis and return timeline.

        What They're Saying

        Former NFL team doctor David Chao: "Likely MCL. No way to kick with that injury."

        Shrader entered Sunday with the third-highest scoring average among fantasy kickers, so this will leave some teams in need of a replacement on Week 6 waivers.

        If you've got one of those teams, check our Tuesday waiver wire article for potential fill-ins.

        Expect the Colts to host a Tuesday try-out for their replacement, unless they've got an insurance option on speed dial.
