  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Shrader did not have any field-goal tries but converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-21 loss at Buffalo. Shrader wasn't asked to do much in his debut with the Chiefs, but he wasn't one of the reasons they suffered their first loss of the season in Week 11. Kansas City will travel to take on Carolina in Week 12.

• Chiefs' Spencer Shrader: To handle kicking duties moving forward

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Coach Andy Reid said Shrader will handle all kicking duties for the Chiefs during Harrison Butker's (knee) absence, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports. Butker underwent surgery on the meniscus in his left knee Friday, resulting in his placement on injured reserve. As such, he'll miss at least four games during his recovery, a stretch that will allow Shrader to be the team's regular placekicker. Shrader has appeared in two games as a fill-in for the Colts and Jets this season, connecting on both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries.

• Chiefs' Spencer Shrader: Filling in for injured Butker

  The Chiefs are expected to sign Shrader off the Jets' practice squad Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. With Harrison Butker suffering a left knee injury that will likely result in his placement on injured reserve, Shrader is poised to take over as Kansas City's kicker beginning with Sunday's game against the Bills. An undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame, Shrader has previously made one appearance apiece for the Colts and the Jets this season, converting on field-goal attempts for 45 and 25 yards while going 3-for-3 on extra-point tries. During his five-year collegiate career, Shrader knocked down 68.3 percent of his field goals and had a long of 54 yards.

• Jets' Spencer Shrader: Handling kicking duties in Week 10

  The Jets elevated Shrader from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Arizona, John Pullano of the team's official site reports. Shrader's elevation Saturday confirms that he will work as the Jets' placekicker Sunday. After being signed by the Colts as an undrafted free agent in May, Shrader served as Indianapolis' kicker Week 1, making all three of his extra-point tries and not attempting any field goals. The Notre Dame product was eventually cut loose once Matt Gay returned to full health for the Colts, then landed with New York's practice squad Oct. 30. He'll now get the opportunity to kick in his second NFL game as a replacement for Riley Patterson, who was cut by New York on Friday after kicking in the team's Week 9 win over Houston. Greg Zuerlein (knee) has been the Jets' kicker most of the season, but he's made just nine of 15 field-goal attempts on the campaign and is slated to miss at least three more games while on injured reserve.

  Shrader signed with the Colts' practice squad Monday. Shrader has been cut and re-signed to the Colts' practice squad multiple times this season. It won't be surprising if this continues to happen in future weeks unless Matt Gay suffers another injury, in which case Shrader would likely move to the active roster.
