The stand-in for Butker this weekend (and beyond, for now) is Spencer Shrader, an undrafted rookie who has appeared in two NFL games this season. In Week 1, he made all three extra points for the Colts as a replacement for Indy’s starter; then he returned to the practice squad and was later released.

The Chiefs will be without another key figure in kicker Harrison Butker as they put their undefeated record on the line Sunday vs. the Bills.

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had surgery to repair the meniscus in his left, non-kicking knee on Friday, though coach Andy Reid said following practice that the two-time defending Super Bowl champions hope to have him back later this season.
