What happened: Harrison Butker will remain the Kansas City Chiefs' kicker for Week 9. The veteran faces internal competition after practice squad addition Justin Tucker turned in a standout workout.

Why it matters: Kansas City enters Week 9 at 5-2 after dropping two consecutive games, including a 28-24 defeat against the Denver Broncos. With the AFC standings tightening, the Chiefs need consistent execution on special teams down the stretch.

What to watch: Kansas City continues preparations for Week 9 with Butker in the starting role, while Tucker remains available on the practice squad.
