Andy Reid on Harrison Butker: "I'm not making any decisions right now"

Published November 8, 2026 07:05 PM Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker missed another one on Sunday, a 51-yard field goal after getting a mulligan on a missed 56-yarder. After Kansas City’s 35-12 win over the Jets, Chiefs coach Andy Reid didn’t rule out making a change.“I’m sure I’ll be asked about Butker,” Reid told reporters, via Nick Sloan of KMBC. “I’ll address that as we go throughout the week. I’ll look at everything. I’m not making any decisions right now today.”Butker has now missed eight kicks this year.“I try to be my best on every single kick, and unfortunately, those 50-plus-yarders aren’t going in,” Butker told reporters. “But I feel confident. I’m excited for the kicks, and I just have to do better.”Is Butker nervous about getting the hook? “They’ve seen what I’ve done in my 10 seasons, and they want me to be my best,” Butker said. “They know who I can be. . . . I’m thankful to be here. I’m thankful to be in this position, and I love kicking footballs. I just have to make them go in.”The Chiefs added veteran kicker Justin Tucker to the practice squad, less than two weeks ago. They could elevate him to the active roster, or they could look for another option.Obviously, making Tucker the kicker would cause a fresh wave of P.R. fallout for doing business with Tucker, given the allegations of misconduct made by multiple women against him in early 2025. While he denied all allegations, Tucker ultimately accepted a 10-game suspension. He has not been on a 53-man roster since the end of the 2024 season.
