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.
