What happened: The Kansas City head coach addressed the accusations of sexual misconduct that led to the veteran kicker's league discipline after signing him to the practice squad. Pressed on what message the addition sends to the franchise's female fans, Reid stated that Tucker has completed the NFL penalty.

Why it matters: Recent kicking struggles by starter Harrison Butker prompted the front office to add experienced competition to the practice unit. Starting Tucker off the 53-man roster gives the club an immediate contingency option as it looks to rebound in the regular-season standings.

By the numbers: Kansas City holds the No. 1 seed at 5-1 (L1) after falling 20-3 at the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 25, while Tucker brings eight All-Pro selections to the practice unit.

What to watch: Watch whether Kansas City elevates Tucker from the practice squad to the active game-day roster if Butker's kicking issues persist.
