KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Chiefs coach Andy Reid said after Sunday's 35-12 win over the New York Jets that he hasn't made a decision on kicker Harrison Butker's future with the team.
"I'll address that as we go throughout the week," Reid said. "I'll look at everything. I'm not making any decisions right now."
Just before halftime, Butker missed a 51-yard field goal attempt as the ball sailed wide right. Butker, a 10-year veteran, has seven missed field goals this season, the most in the NFL. Since the start of last season, Butker has missed 17 kicks -- 12 field goal attempts and five extra point tries -- the most by any kicker in that span.
"I feel confident, I'm excited for the kicks, and I've just got to do better," Butker said. "Week after week, saying the same thing. Guys support me. They've seen what I've done in my 10 seasons, and they want me to be at my best. I know who I can be. I've just got to make them go in."
For the first time in his career, Butker was booed by Chiefs fans inside Arrowhead Stadium after his miss Sunday.
"I mean, I'm booing myself sometimes," Butker said. "The fans are passionate. They want [us] to win games. They want me to make kicks. I want to make kicks. I've got to be better."
Butker was 5-for-5 on his extra point attempts. Afterward, quarterback Patrick Mahomes offered his support for Butker, who was a fixture of the Chiefs' three Super Bowl championship teams for his impressive kicking in clutch situations.
"We have confidence in him," Mahomes said. "That's pretty much it. I've seen him make field goals at the biggest stages that you can make in this league. I want him to know I have as much confidence in him as I've ever had, just trying to give him that vote of confidence."
Two weeks ago, the Chiefs signed veteran kicker Justin Tucker, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2024, to their practice squad.
Tucker, 37, served a 10-game suspension last season for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. He was accused of sexual misconduct by 16 massage therapists from eight high-end spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore area, according to a report by The Baltimore Banner in February 2025. Tucker's alleged misconduct reportedly occurred between 2012 and 2016, during his first five seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. In May 2025, the Ravens released Tucker. Two months later, the NFL suspended him. In November, after he was eligible for reinstatement, Tucker had his first tryout with the New Orleans Saints.
Before adding Tucker, a five-time All-Pro, the Chiefs held a three-man kicker competition that also included Harrison Mevis and Ben Sauls.
Despite the Chiefs signing Tucker, longtime special teams coordinator Dave Toub emphatically said two days later that Butker would continue to be the team's kicker.
"We're trying to improve and get Butker right," Toub said then. "That's what this whole thing is about."
Butker, 31, said his kicking struggles are not because he is dealing with an injury.
"I feel great," he said. "I definitely have the distance, the power. It's just making kicks."
