Andy Reid on Harrison Butker: I haven’t made any decisions yet
The Chiefs have a clear and obvious kicking problem.
The Kansas City Chiefs face a significant kicking dilemma. In a recent game, Harrison Butker missed a crucial 51-yard field goal, further illustrating a pattern of missed kicks. This issue isn't new; Butker has now missed 17 kicks over the past two seasons, setting a league record. The Chiefs have an available backup in Justin Tucker, who is currently on their practice squad.
Yet, Head Coach Andy Reid isn't ready to make any immediate decisions regarding the position. Speaking at a Monday news conference, Reid expressed his stance, saying, "With Butker, I haven’t made any decisions yet. I’m going to evaluate everything and go forward from there." He also mentioned that he hasn't determined any practice reps for a potential change.
Reid concluded, "We’ll go from there." As of now, Butker has converted only 12 out of 19 field goals this season and missed an extra point, reinforcing the urgency of the situation. The Chiefs will likely make their decision known during their upcoming practice week, set to begin on Wednesday.
