The Kansas City Chiefs are making a move to add a kicker to the practice squad in the wake of Harrison Butker’s ankle injury. Butker suffered the ankle injury on a kickoff in Week 1 against the Cardinals and was replaced in the game by S Justin Reid. Butker eventually returned to the game, but was clearly limited by the heavily taped ankle on his plant foot.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Chiefs are signing former New York Jets kicker Matt Ammendola to the practice squad. Ammendola will be insurance if Harrison Butker is unable to kick against the Los Angeles Chargers on “Thursday Night Football” this week.
