Kansas City Chiefs to Sign Kicker Justin Tucker to Practice Squad
Justin Tucker returns after a year away and a 10-game suspension as Kansas City seeks a steadier option with Harrison Butker missing five field goals.
- The Kansas City Chiefs signed former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, marking the 13-year NFL veteran's return to professional football.
- Harrison Butker's recent struggles prompted the move; the kicker converted just 11 of 16 field goal attempts through six games this season, including two misses against the Seattle Seahawks.
- A 7-time Pro Bowler, Tucker holds an 89.1% career field goal percentage and served a 10-game suspension in 2025 for violating the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy, though he denied allegations made by 16 massage therapists.
- Butker retains his starting job for now, though he faces immediate pressure; NFL Network's Ian Rapoport stated Butker "hes going to have pressure put on him by Tucker."
- Following failed tryouts with the Miami Dolphins and other clubs, the 36-year-old veteran now returns to the NFL on the practice squad after not playing during the 2025 season.
