The Kansas City Chiefs will be in the playoffs for the 10th straight year after their victory in Week 13. That much is secured. But who will kick them into position? That has been an almost weekly juggling match. Following the events of Sunday’s games, kicker Harrison Butker is the NFL’s all-time most accurate kicker. … and he made his move to the top of the charts even though he has been out since Week 10 with a knee injury that led to the team placing him on injured reserve.
What’s next for him? An eventual return to the roster. But who’s the KC kicker of the moment? Thats a different story. The Chiefs on Wednesday signed Matthew Wright to their active roster, while placing Spencer Shrader on IR.
Shrader had been the sub for Butker, who is eligible to return after this week’s game. So one move is triggering another … which will eventually trigger Butker’s return to the two-time Super Bowl champ’s roster. On the all-time accuracy list, Butker now moves into the top spot with an 89.21-percent success rate on field goals. … leading to his move back to action soon for KC, which has gotten solid work from his emergency subs.
