The Kansas City Chiefs are placing kicker Harrison Butker on injured reserve due to a left knee injury, a team source confirmed to The Athletic. In a corresponding roster move, the Chiefs are signing undrafted rookie kicker Spencer Shrader off the New York Jets’ practice squad as a temporary fill-in for the injured Butker. Shrader, 25, was one of two placekickers signed by New York on Oct. 30 after veteran Greg Zuerlein was placed on injured reserve. He also converted three extra points in Week 1 during his lone game with the Indianapolis Colts, who originally signed the Notre Dame product after April’s 2024 draft.
