Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has been placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury that requires surgery. He is expected to miss at least four games, including matchups against notable teams like the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers.

Spencer Shrader, recently signed from the New York Jets' practice squad, will take over kicking duties in Butker's absence. Butker has been a reliable player for the Chiefs, boasting a high field goal success rate throughout his career.
