Andy Reid announces Harrison Butker decision for Chiefs Week 10 game
Andy Reid says “As far as the kicking goes, I'm going to stick with Butker." pic.twitter.com/kleTKY4uG7 — Sports Radio 810 WHB (@SportsRadio810) November 11, 2026 Reid ultimately said that Butker's body of work with the Chiefs warranted more belief that he'll turn his performances around.
Key points
- Despite the Chiefs' convincing Week 9 win over the Jets on Sunday, place kicker Harrison Butker found himself increasingly on the hot seat heading into the week.
- Harrison Butker keeps kicking job for at least Week 10 "I'm going to stick with (Harrison) Butker," Reid told reporters, including Taylor, on Wednesday.
- Reid was noncommittal on Sunday about the Chiefs' kicking situation as they prepare to face the Falcons in Atlanta.
Nate Taylor of ESPN shared an announcement from Andy Reid that, for at least one more week, Butker will remain the Chiefs' kicker.
Additional details
- He wasn't the only Colts player linked to the Chiefs ahead of the deadline, as kicker Spencer Shrader was another player linked to Kansas City amid Harrison Butker's struggles this season.
- This news from the Chiefs' head coach should frustrate the fanbase, as Butker has struggled way too much for the team to continue sticking by him this season.
- For now, however, Butker is keeping his kicker job, despite his terrible performances this season that have him on the cusp of losing his job.
- But come Wednesday, Reid arrived at his decision.
- If he continues to miss kicks and winds up costing the Chiefs a game at some point, then finally maybe Reid will make a change.
