**Chiefs' Kicker Harrison Butker to Miss Four Games; Spencer Shrader Steps In**
The Kansas City Chiefs face a tough lineup change as kicker Harrison Butker has been added to the injury report due to a left knee issue. Reports suggest Butker will be placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least the next four games.
To fill the void left by Butker, the Chiefs are expected to sign Spencer Shrader from the New York Jets' practice squad. Shrader recently made two field goals for the Jets during their last game and has also executed three extra points for the Colts earlier this season.
Shrader initially replaced Greg Zuerlein as the Jets' kicker. The Jets still have Anders Carlson on their practice squad, who is expected to take over the kicking duties against the Colts this week.
Butker has delivered a solid performance this season, successfully hitting 18 out of 20 field goals and converting 21 out of 22 extra points. As the Chiefs adapt to this sudden change, the team's fans and management will be keeping a close eye on how Shrader performs in Butker's stead.
