INDIANAPOLIS (Sept. 22, 2006) -- The Indianapolis Colts likely will sign kicker Martin Gramatica for their Week 3 game against Jacksonville as a possible replacement for Adam Vinatieri, who is nursing a groin injury and has not practiced all week.
Gramatica tried out with the Colts on Sept. 20. Although he was not signed after the workout, coach Tony Dungy said Sept. 22 the team was leaning toward signing Gramatica, at least for kickoffs.
"He may do everything," Dungy said. It would be Gramatica's second stint with the Colts and his third with Dungy, who coached Gramatica at Tampa Bay before he became the Colts coach in 2002.
Gramatica, who played his first six seasons in the NFL with the Buccaneers,
signed with Indianapolis in December 2004, a week after he was cut by Tampa Bay. He was used for kickoffs in the Colts' final four regular-season games and one playoff game.
A decision on whether Vinatieri plays will come at game time
