Harrison Butker likely to kick for Chiefs against Broncos this week

Summary

Despite struggling recently, missing five field goals this season and four in the last two weeks, head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Butker will likely retain his position. The Chiefs signed veteran kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad for additional depth, but Reid indicated that Butker must improve his performance to keep his role secure. Tucker, who was released by the Ravens and has faced past allegations leading to a suspension, impressed during his workout with the Chiefs on Tuesday.
