Coach Andy Reid said that Butker underwent surgery on his injured left knee Friday and doesn't have a timeline for his return to action, Jesse Newell of The Kansas City Star reports. Reid confirmed that Butker hurt his knee in practice this week, resulting in his placement on injured reserve Friday. "(He) tried to go on Thursday," Reid told Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com. "(He) wasn't able to do it." Reid also confirmed that Butker had a repair of the meniscus in his left knee, according to Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. For as long as Butker is sidelined, Spencer Shrader will handle kicking duties for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs placed Butker (knee) on injured reserve Friday. Butker is dealing with a meniscus injury, which required a trim procedure, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. With Butker set to miss at least the next four games, the Chiefs signed Spencer Shrader off the Jets' practice squad on Thursday.

Butker made his only field-goal try and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Monday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Buccaneers. Butker opened up the scoring Monday with a 40-yard field goal late in the first quarter, but Kansas City's next four scores came in the form of touchdowns. Despite the mostly uneventful game in Week 9, he's still an accurate kicker playing behind a good offense, so he'll remain a quality fantasy option in Week 10 versus the Broncos.

Butker made all four of his extra-point tries but did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 28-18 win at San Francisco. Sunday's game was the Chiefs' first this season in which they did not attempt a field goal. Butker has been solid on the chances he has gotten thus far this year though, and he'll be kicking indoors in Week 8 at Las Vegas.

Butker made both of his extra-point tries but missed one of two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers. Butker's miss was a 65-yard attempt that came up short just before halftime, a kick that would have tied the game at 10-10 had it been successful. However, he was good from 37 yards out in the third quarter, bringing him to 8-for-9 on FGAs this season.
