INDIANAPOLIS — Spencer Shrader put the final flourish on a remarkable comeback Saturday.
A reversal of fortune that was almost impossible to see coming before the start of the preseason.
But Shrader has looked a lot more like himself for three weeks now, and when the Colts' third-string offense faltered at midfield in the second half of Saturday's 25-16 preseason loss to the Lions, it almost felt inevitable when Shrader lined up for a 60-yard field goal in the third quarter.
He looked like he knew exactly what he needed to get ready. When an injury forced the on-field action to pause, Shrader trotted back over to the team's kicking net on the sideline and took one more practice swing with his right leg.
"I kind of read the situation, felt like I had enough time to go over and get a practice kick in, kind of reset mentally and then go out there and do my routine," Shrader said.
