## Summary

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid has kept Harrison Butker as the starting kicker for Week 10 against Atlanta, despite his league-leading seven missed field goals. Justin Tucker, recently signed to the practice squad, remains in reserve as Butker faces scrutiny after another miss in the previous week.

Since the start of last season, Butker has missed 17 kicks: 12 field goals and five extra points, the most by any NFL kicker over that period. Tucker, 37, was reported to have impressed in a Chiefs workout but is returning from a 10-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy after allegations of sexual misconduct, which he denies; the league reinstated him in November.
