Butker made both of his field-goal attempts and connected on his three extra-point tries in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans. Butker's longest field-goal attempt came from 44 yards. It was his second game back after returning from a four-game absence and IR stint due to a left knee injury. He has now made three field goals and six extra points without a miss since returning.

Butker (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Browns. As a result, Butker is set to return to his starting gig. The 28-year-old has missed just two field goals all year, both 50-plus yard attempts, and has missed just four field-goal attempts total dating back to the start of last season.

Butker (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Browns, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The team will need to formally make the move before 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, but the Pro Bowl kicker is expected to return to his starting job despite Matthew Wright's reliability over the past two games (8-of-9 and a game-winning field goal). Butker has missed just four of his 55 field-goal attempts over the past two years.

Butker (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cleveland. Since the Chiefs designated him for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Butker has put together three consecutive limited practices, thereby giving him a chance to play this weekend. He's been sidelined since Week 10 after undergoing a meniscus trim on his left knee on Nov. 15. Ultimately, in order for Butker to suit up Sunday, he'll need to be activated from IR by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday. Matthew Wright is lined up to kick if that doesn't occur.

Butker (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Butker is eligible to return from injured reserve in time for Sunday's game against the Browns, but it remains to be seen if Kansas City will activate him in time. Matthew Wright has handled kicking duties the last two weeks, going eight of nine on field goals and two for two on extra points in that span.
