GLENDALE, Ariz. — Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker suffered an ankle injury on a kickoff against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Butker was injured after the first kickoff and was successful on the PAT after the Chiefs’ second touchdown. He reached the end zone on both his kickoffs.
When Kansas City later scored a touchdown to take a 20-7 lead, safety Justin Reid missed the extra point wide right. However, Reid did reach the end zone on the ensuing kickoff.
That third touchdown came on a 4-yard pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes to running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire on fourth-and-2. The decision to go for the score rather than kick a field goal was potentially influenced by Butker not being available.
Butker later came on to make a 54-yard field-goal attempt to give Kansas City a 23-7 lead at halftime. Reid handled the ensuing kickoff, and again hit it deep in the end zone for a touchback.
