Kansas City Chiefs K Harrison Butker was officially placed on injured reserve on Friday, the same day he had his meniscus trimmed. The move cleared the way for the reigning Super Bowl champions to sign rookie K Spencer Shrader from the New York Jets practice squad.

Harrison Butker landed on injured reserve with a left knee injury, forcing the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs to sign a replacement, Spencer Shrader, off the Jets' practice squad on Thursday.

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had surgery to repair the meniscus in his left, non-kicking knee on Friday, though coach Andy Reid said following practice that the two-time defending Super Bowl champions hope to have him back later this season.
