## Resource

The Colts’ special teams are primed for a major shakeup in 2026, with Spencer Shrader returning from injury to challenge Blake Grupe for the kicker spot — a battle that could define the season. With key veterans departing and big roles left vacant, new talent must step up fast. Coach Brian Mason is hunting for the most consistent, clutch performers, evaluating not just accuracy but poise under pressure. Veteran punter Rigoberto Sanchez and Pro Bowl long snapper Luke Rhodes remain anchors, while the return game features a thrilling speed showdown between veteran Anthony Gould and rookie Deion Burks — all pointing to a special teams unit that’s both rebuilding and brimming with potential.
