Chiefs STs coordinator Dave Toub: We're confident Harrison Butker will come through it

Published November 13, 2026 10:33 AM The Chiefs have had a kicking problem for a while. But at least this week, they’re still sticking with Harrison Butker. Butker While Butker was one of the league’s most accurate kickers for years, that has not been the case over the last few seasons. He’s now missed 17 kicks since the start of last year, which is a league-high.Butker’s struggles led the Chiefs to sign former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker to the practice squad. But to this point, Kansas City hasn’t used Tucker in a game.This week, special teams coordinator Dave Toub once again told reporters why the club is sticking with Butker. “We’re going to keep pounding it,” Toub said, via transcript from the team. “We’re going to keep working it and keep kicking him.“He’s going to come through it. I mean, we’re confident that he will. We’re just going to keep practicing him and keep working on little things, and he’s looked good in practice. There’s a reason why he’s still our kicker.”Butker has made 12-of-19 field goals and 22-of-23 extra points so far in 2026.
