Chiefs Sign Spencer Shrader as Harrison Butker Undergoes Knee Surgery

Kansas City Chiefs' kicker Harrison Butker is sidelined for 3-4 weeks following knee surgery, prompting the team to recruit Spencer Shrader.

Harrison Butker, one of the NFL's most accurate kickers, is out for 3-4 weeks due to a left knee meniscus surgery.
The Chiefs have signed rookie kicker Spencer Shrader from the Jets' practice squad to fill in during Butker's absence.
Butker's injury occurred during practice, and his recovery timeline suggests a return for the end of the regular season and playoffs.
Shrader has limited NFL experience, having played two games this season with successful field goals for both the Colts and Jets.
The Chiefs face a challenging upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills, where Shrader will be tested as the new kicker.
