Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has been placed on injured reserve due to an injury to his non-kicking knee. This development comes after Butker’s recent performances, including a game-winning field goal against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, where he converted two of two field-goal attempts and added two PATs.

The injury is expected to sideline Butker for an undisclosed period, although the specifics of the timeline have not been detailed. This move could have significant implications for the Chiefs’ special teams unit, as Butker has been a reliable kicker for the team.

In his last two games, Butker demonstrated his consistency, converting all his field-goal attempts. Against the Bengals, he made kicks of 19 and 51 yards, and against the Baltimore Ravens, he made kicks of 32 and 31 yards, along with several PATs.

The Chiefs will need to find a replacement for Butker to fill the void left by his injury, which could impact their strategy in upcoming games.
