Andy Reid Makes Statement on Harrison Butker's Status

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Ryan L. Dodson | Last updated Nov 9, 2026 7:20 PM ET

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid unprompted addressed kicker Harrison Butker in his post-game press conference Sunday.

“I’m sure I’ll be asked about Butker. I’ll address that as we go throughout the week. I’ll look at everything, and no need to ask. That’ll be the answer that you get. I’m not making any decisions right now today.”

Butker missed from 56 yards Sunday, but the play was nullified due to a penalty and moved up 5 yards. He missed from 51 yards immediately after and is 2-for-8 on kicks from 50 yards or more out. Butker was booed as he left the field at halftime.

The Chiefs added former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker to the practice squad a couple of weeks ago. Tucker was one of the most prolific kickers in the league. He once held the longest made field goal ever at 66 yards and is second in NFL history with an 89.1% career field goal percentage.
