Reid defers on Butker’s Chiefs future after another FG miss, boos at Arrowhead

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he has not made an immediate decision on kicker Harrison Butker's future following Sunday's 35-12 victory over the New York Jets. Butker missed a 51-yard field goal attempt just before halftime, hearing boos from home fans at Arrowhead Stadium. Reid stated he plans to evaluate everything as the week progresses rather than rush into a decision.

Butker leads the NFL with seven missed field goals this season and has missed 17 kicks since the start of last season. Despite these ongoing struggles, quarterback Patrick Mahomes expressed full confidence in his longtime teammate. The Chiefs recently signed veteran kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad following a multi-player tryout, adding potential competition for Butker.
