Is Harrison Butker playing today? Injury updates for Chiefs kicker

The Kansas City Chiefs have been without starting kicker Harrison Butker since he underwent surgery earlier this month.

Butker was placed on Kansas City’s injured reserve list, and replaced by Spencer Shrader, who took over as the Chiefs’ starting kicker but has since been injured himself.

Veteran boot Matthew Wright will be Kansas City’s starting kicker on Friday when the Chiefs face the Las Vegas Raiders.
