The Chiefs announced Wednesday that placekicker Harrison Butker is out for Thursday’s matchup against the Chargers due to a left ankle injury suffered Sunday. According to both NFL Network and ESPN, practice squad kicker Matt Ammendola will fill in.
Short-handed at kicker, Kansas City had to rely on safety Justin Reid for kicking duties when Butker couldn’t continue after taking a fall. With the report that Ammendola is getting the call up, it appears Reid won’t be getting any more opportunities with his leg despite making the kick for an extra point.
