Harrison Butker injury update: Latest on Chiefs kicker for Week 15 Fantasy Football

Harrison Butker has missed the last four Kansas City Chiefs games after undergoing a procedure to trim the torn meniscus in his left knee. During his absence, the Chiefs used Spencer Shrader and Matthew Wright to make game-winning field goals, becoming the first team in NFL history to have three kickers make a game-winning kick.

After being sidelined since Week 11, the Chiefs announced Saturday that Harrison Butker will return against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Matthew Wright was released less than a week after earning AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors. Wright clinched the Chiefs' win over the Chargers with a 31-yard field goal.

He's now a free agent following an 8-of-9 production for the defending Super Bowl champions.

Harrison Butker injury update: What happened to Chiefs veteran kicker?

Harrison Butker picked up a knee injury in mid-November, leading to an arthroscopic surgery that kept him sidelined for four weeks. Butker only needed to miss four games for the Chiefs, as his time on injured reserve finished ahead of this duel. In August, he became the NFL's highest-paid kicker with a $6.4 million per year deal.

Butker finished last season with a career-high 94.3% of success of his field goal tries. This year, he's made 18 of 20 field goal attempts and 21 of 22 extra point tries, helping the Chiefs post a 10-0 record ahead of Butker's injury.

In the first game he missed, the Buffalo Bills ended their unbeaten run. They bounced back with three more wins that included game-winning kicks from both Spencer Shrader and Matthew Wright.

Having Butker back on the field is major for Andy Reid and Co. He will be a crucial player for their potential success in the postseason. Although he's set to return to the lineup on Sunday, he won't reportedly be 100% healthy for another two or three weeks.

Chiefs reporter Charles Goldman shared on Thursday that safety Justin Reid would "probably" take care of kickoffs again against the Cleveland Browns.

Kansas City is trying to secure the No. 1 seed in the AFC against the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers. They have suffered several losses during the week, but seeing Harrison Butker back on the lineup will give them a boost down the stretch.
