KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs placekicker Harrison Butker said in a Friday morning social media post that surgery on his left knee "went great" and thanked people who prayed for him.
The team placed Butker on the injured reserve list.
He will miss at least four games, including Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo.
Reid told reporters Friday that Butker's injury happened in practice.
The Chiefs signed Spencer Shrader, a rookie from Notre Dame, off the New York Jets practice squad.
So far, Shrader has kicked two field goals in his first year and made both.
Reid praised Shrader on his "very strong leg" during Friday's media availability.
The three-time Super Bowl-winning head coach continued to express confidence in the rookie heading into a pivotal matchup versus Buffalo.
"He kicked at Notre Dame last year so it's not the first big crowd he'll be in front of," said Reid. "He'll be alright."
