  • Saints' Blake Grupe: Knocks in four extra-point tries

    Grupe went 4-for-4 on point-after tries during Sunday's 33-28 defeat to the Lions.

    Grupe continued to handle the Saints' kicking duties on both kickoffs and extra points/field goals after coming into the game questionable with a groin injury. The rookie out of Notre Dame has now knocked through all 23 of his PATs this season, and he's missed just six of 30 field-goal attempts through the first 12 games of his career.

  • Saints' Blake Grupe: Active for Week 13

    Grupe (groin) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

    Grupe was a limited participant at all three practices during Week 13 prep and was given a questionable designation, but the Saints didn't elevate Austin Seibert on Saturday, suggesting Grupe would be cleared to play. Grupe made five of six field-goal attempts versus Atlanta last week, and his lone miss came on a 54-yard try with just under 30 seconds remaining in the game. The rookie has made 24 of his first 30 field-goal attempts, with all six misses coming from beyond 40 yards.

  • Saints' Blake Grupe: Questionable for Sunday vs. Lions

    Grupe (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Grupe was a limited participant at all three of New Orleans' practices this week, so there's no strong indication of his availability one way or the other at this point. If he sits out his first game this season, the Saints could opt to elevate Austin Seibert from their practice squad to their active roster Sunday.

  • Saints' Blake Grupe: Remains limited Thursday

    Grupe (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    While Grupe has had practice restrictions so far this week due to a right groin injury, special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi told Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com on Thursday that he believes the kicker will be available Sunday versus the Lions. Still, Grupe may enter the weekend with a designation for that contest, which will become known when the Saints post their final Week 13 practice report Friday.

  • Saints' Blake Grupe: Limited in practice Wednesday

    Grupe was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a right groin injury, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Grupe is tending to the injury after he connected on five of six field-goal tries in this past Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons. The Saints signed Austin Seibert to their practice squad Monday, and he'll likely serve as the team's kicker this Sunday against the Lions if there's any concern about Grupe's ability to kick effectively with the injury this weekend.

  • Saints' Blake Grupe: Day-to-day

    Grupe is dealing with an undisclosed injury and is considered day-to-day, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Grupe was listed on the injury report with a groin injury before Week 12, but he practiced fully Friday and played through the issue in Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons, making five of his six field-goal attempts. The 25-year-old has made 24 of 30 field goals on the season, with all six misses coming from 40 yards out or longer. Austin Seibert is expected to join the team's practice squad and will likely handle the kicking duties Sunday against the Lions if the Saints aren't confident in Grupe's health.

  • Saints' Blake Grupe: Logs six field-goal tries Week 12

    Grupe connected on five of six field-goal attempts during Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons.

    Grupe logged a career-high six field-goal attempts in this injury-ridden outing for New Orleans' offense. With this unit unable to come through with touchdowns while in opposing territory, the team relied on its undrafted rookie kicker to hang in the game. Grupe's was perfect on his first five field-goal tries, which ranged from 25 to 52 yards. But, he came up short on a 54-yard attempt with just under 30 seconds remaining, thus ending his team's slim chances for a comeback win. Grupe has now hit 24 of the first 30 field-goal tries of his career, and all six of his misses have come on attempts of 40 or more yards.

  • Saints' Blake Grupe: Logs one field-goal try Week 10

    Grupe converted his only field-goal attempt during Sunday's 27-19 loss to Minnesota.

    Grupe got the Saints on the board by making a 48-yard field goal at the end of the first quarter, but he never saw another opportunity to put the ball through the uprights, as New Orleans attempted two-point conversions on each of their touchdowns while trailing in the second half. Grupe has now gone 19-for-24 on field-goal tries while converting all 19 of his PATs. The rookie could have more opportunities in the Saints' Week 12 matchup against the Falcons following a Week 11 bye.

  • Saints' Blake Grupe: Doinks field goal try in win

    Grupe went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on point-after tries during Sunday's 24-17 win against the Bears.

    Grupe hit the left upright on a 47-yard field goal attempt while the Saints were up 24-17 late in the fourth quarter. However, this miss didn't ultimately cost New Orleans, as the team recovered a strip-sack on the subsequent drive for the Bears, thus icing the game. Grupe also made his other four combined kicking attempts leading up to the late-game miss, and he's now converted 18 of his 23 field-goal tries and all 19 of his PATs this season. He'll look to avoid any more mistakes when the Saints head to Minnesota next Sunday, Nov. 12.

  • Saints' Blake Grupe: Perfect in Week 8 win

    Grupe made his only field-goal attempt and all five of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 38-27 victory versus Indianapolis.

    Grupe didn't see any difficult kicking attempts, as his lone field-goal try came from just 27 yards out to extend the lead to 38-27 in the final minute. The undrafted rookie missed three of his eight field-goal attempts over the previous two contests, so it's not to say that he's completely out of the woods yet. Grupe has now gone 17-for-21 on field-goal attempts while hitting all 16 of his PATs through eight games.
