Kansas City plays Buffalo on Sunday and has dipped into another AFC East team’s practice squad as a replacement for their stellar kicker.
The Chiefs are signing kicker Spencer Shrader off the Jets practice squad.
Butker has hit 18-of-20 field goals in 2024. He is 21-of-22 on PATs. On kickoffs, 67.5% of Butker’s kicks have resulted in touchbacks.
Shrader kicked in one game for the Jets and hit both of his field-goal attempts.
