Reid non-committal on Butker’s future after another missed field goal

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker added to his league-leading missed-kick total on Sunday, missing a 51-yard field goal just before halftime.

The miss came on a retry after the New York Jets were called offside when Butker missed a 56-yard attempt; it was his seventh missed field goal of the year.

Still, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he’s unsure if that miss will result in a change at the position for Kansas City when the team heads to Atlanta this week.

“With Butker, I haven’t made any decisions yet,” Reid said Monday, continuing the same message he shared after Sunday’s game when Chiefs fans booed Butker off the field at halftime. “I’m just sitting on them and will evaluate everything and go forward from there.”

The Chiefs will practice for the first time this week on Wednesday. With veteran Justin Tucker on the practice squad, Reid said he still has to decide how reps will be split up.

“I haven’t decided on reps during practice,” Reid said. “I haven’t done any of that right now. So just going through and evaluating and we’ll go from there.”

Butker converted all five of his extra point attempts against the Jets. His struggles have come while Chiefs opponents have made 50 of their last 51 field goal attempts, the only miss coming from Jets kicker Jason Sanders on Sunday.
