Chiefs K Harrison Butker among those on COVID list

Dec 21, 2021

The Kansas City Chiefs could be without kicker Harrison Butker when they face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16 on Sunday.

After his placement on the COVID reserve list, along with many others, Butker is among the group of players for whom they’ll need to “wait and see” concerning their availability after mid-week testing.

On Monday, Butker was among the newer players added to the list, including cornerback Charvarius Ward and tight end Travis Kelce. If there’s at least a ray of hope, it can be found in the following: he was suffering from just cold-like symptoms according to the site. Fry would do the kicking for the Chiefs according to the story.

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
