The Kansas City Chiefs have been without starting kicker Harrison Butker since he underwent surgery earlier this month.

Butker was placed on Kansas City’s injured reserve list and replaced by Spencer Shrader, who took over as the Chiefs’ starting kicker but is now injured himself.

Veteran football player Matthew Wright will be Kansas City’s starting player on Friday when the Chiefs take on the Las Vegas Raiders.
