Red flags went up when Kansas City Chiefs placekicker Harrison Butker missed a 47-yard field goal and an extra point in Week 9 against the Tenessee Titans. It was a game the Chiefs needed to win — and one that ended up in overtime.
At the time, it was only natural that Butker’s health would be brought into question, as fans wondered whether or not he had fully recovered from an ankle injury he sustained in the season opener against the Arizona Cardinals.
Butker confirmed that his ankle had not completely healed when he spoke to the media that week.
