Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Officially questionable for Week 15
Harrison Butker (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cleveland.Since the Kansas City 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.

Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Limited in return to practice
Harrison Butker (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.After the Kansas City Chiefs designated him for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, Butker returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since sustaining a meniscus injury in early November that required a procedure. Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, head coach Andy Reid was non-committal about Butker being added back to the roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, as the Chiefs presumably want to assess him in practice throughout the week before deciding on his status. If the Chiefs opt to keep Butker on IR this week, Matthew Wright would be in store for another turn as Kansas City's kicker.

Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Practicing, but iffy for Week 15
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Harrison Butker (knee) will be designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, but the kicker's availability for Sunday's game against the Browns is still uncertain, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.With Wednesday's transaction, the Chiefs will have a 21-day window to evaluate Butker before he would need to either be added back to the 53-man roster or spend the remainder of the season on IR. Though he can be activated from IR at any time, the Chiefs will wait and see how Butker fares in practice this week before deciding on his status for Sunday. Before he was shut down after requiring a meniscus trim on his left knee, Butker appeared in nine games and converted 18 of 20 field-goal attempts. During Butker's absence, the Chiefs have used two kickers, with Matthew Wright being the most recent replacement. If Butker is deemed to be anything less than 100 percent healthy heading into the weekend, the Chiefs will likely stick with Wright as their kicker for another game.

Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Recovering from meniscus trim
Harrison Butker is expected to return from injured reserve when first eligible Week 15 against the Browns after undergoing a meniscus trim of his left knee earlier this week, rather than a full meniscus repair, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.A full repair would have knocked Butker out for the rest of the season, but after requiring the minimally invasive meniscectomy procedure, he'll likely need 3-to-4 weeks to make a full recovery. Since Kansas City has already placed Butker on IR, he'll be required to miss at least four games, but assuming he experiences no setbacks in his recovery from the procedure to his non-kicking knee, he should be ready for action by mid-December. The Kansas City Chiefs signed Spencer Shrader off the Jets' practice squad to serve as their kicker in the interim.
