Harrison Butker’s latest missed field goal has put his spot as Kansas City’s kicker in doubt. Coach Andy Reid said he’ll evaluate the situation this week, leaving open the possibility of a change as Justin Tucker waits on the practice squad.

By the Numbers
  • Butker is 12-for-19 this season (63.1%).
  • His career-low single-season rate was 88.6% last season.
  • Butker has spent 10 seasons with Kansas City and won 3 Super Bowls with the team.
  • Tucker has faced 16 allegations of sexual misconduct from his time with the Ravens.
Yes, But

Butker’s long tenure and success with the Chiefs make a move significant. Tucker brings a strong résumé, but the allegations against him add substantial off-field considerations.

State of Play
  • Butker missed a 51-yard field goal as the first-half clock expired Sunday, drawing boos from the crowd.
  • Kansas City beat the Jets 35-12.
  • Reid said no decision had been made, but promised to review the kicking situation during the week.
  • Tucker is on the Chiefs’ practice squad.
What's Next

Reid’s evaluation will determine whether Butker keeps the job or Kansas City turns to Tucker. No change has been announced.

Bottom Line

Butker’s struggles have made the job a live question, but replacing a veteran champion with Tucker would involve weighing performance against serious off-field concerns.
