Chiefs Activate Kicker Harrison Butker for Game

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to welcome back kicker Harrison Butker after a four-game absence due to knee surgery, as they prepare to face the Cleveland Browns this Sunday. Butker, who has shown consistent performance, will replace Matthew Wright, who had a successful interim stint, making 8 of 9 field goals, including a game-winning kick against the Chargers. The Chiefs will also be without left tackle D.J. Humphries due to a hamstring injury, potentially impacting their offensive line. Meanwhile, the Browns have benched struggling kicker Dustin Hopkins, who has missed 6 of 9 field goals in recent games, opting to start Riley Patterson instead. Additionally, tight end David Njoku will miss the game due to a hamstring injury, further challenging the Browns' offense. Both teams are gearing up for a crucial matchup as the playoffs approach.
