Harrison Butker Off Injury Report With Illness

Harrison Butker Off Injury Report With Illness

one year ago

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (illness) was able to participate in Friday's practice after missing Thursday's session due to an illness, but he's officially off the Week 8 injury report. Butker is still without a missed kick in 2023, a big jump for him after going 18-for-24 on field goals last year. The 28-year-old has converted all fifteen of his FG attempts and is 19-of-19 on extra-point tries. In Week 8, the seventh-year man squares off with a Denver Broncos team that has permitted the seventh-most fantasy points per game (9.57) to opposing kickers. The weather forecast for Empower Field at Mile High calls for freezing temperatures on Sunday afternoon, which could play a part in Butker's ability to execute his kicks. The two-time Super Bowl champion is a weekly top-five play in K.C.'s potent offense, but expectations should be tempered a bit due to the predicted conditions.
