Harrison Butker will remain the Kansas City Chiefs' kicker heading into the team's Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
Head coach Andy Reid briefly addressed Butker's status in a press conference on November 11, announcing his intention to keep the three-time Super Bowl champion around for another week.
"I'm going to stick with Butker," Reid told members of the media. "We'll go from there."
Through eight games, Butker has missed seven three-point field goals and one extra point, a mark that leads the NFL. The former Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket missed his only three-point attempt in the Chiefs' victory over the New York Jets in Week 9, but managed to make all five of his PATs.

Kansas City signed former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker on October 28 in a bid to motivate Butker after a less-than-stellar start to his 2026 regular-season campaign.
While it remains unclear how much longer Reid is willing to let Butker struggle, the Chiefs will have little margin for error in their pursuit of an AFC West title in the second half of the 2026 regular season, and another poor performance against the Falcons could incentivize Kansas City to move on from the long-tenured kicker.
