Indianapolis Colts' kicker Spencer Shrader is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Houston Texans with a groin injury.
It's not exactly clear when the injury occurred, although Jake Arthur mentioned it could have taken place in warmups.
Colts K Spencer Shrader (groin) must've hurt himself in warmups. He's questionable to return.

With Shrader out, punter Rigoberto Sanchez handled the opening kickoff.
It remains to be seen how the Colts will handle extra point attempts and field goal situations if Shrader remains out, although ESPN's Stephen Holder provided this insight:
No word on whether Colts K Spencer Shrader will return. Still considered questionable with a groin injury. If called upon, punter Rigoberto Sanchez has a history
as a competent kicker. He kicked and punted in college and I believe still occasionally practices place kicking.

Shrader is 5-for-6 on extra points through two games and 4-for-4 on field goal attempts.
