Blankenship missed the 42-yard field goal that would have given the Colts a Week 1 victory, but he had uglier moments in the game, including two kickoffs that went out of bounds, that ultimately led to his dismissal. 

Before Tuesday’s announcement, head coach Frank Reich seemed to suggest that the Colts weren’t rushing into any decision.

"In my mind, he’s our kicker," Reich said after the game, via the Indianapolis Star.  "We go back, and everybody gets evaluated. Coaches, players, we all get evaluated. If I’ve learned one thing over the years, it’s: Don’t rush into those kinds of decisions. Let (general manager) Chris (Ballard) and I get a chance to talk about, everybody gets evaluated."
