Chiefs coach talks up Harrison Butker’s windy practice prowess with Justin Tucker hovering over him

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker delivered a perfect practice performance despite facing difficult conditions and new competition. The impressive response came after Kansas City signed veteran Justin Tucker to its practice squad following Butker’s recent struggles. Special teams coordinator Dave Toub said Butker made all 10 kicks during Wednesday’s practice, despite wind gusts reaching 28 mph. Tucker watched nearby as the veteran kicker responded to mounting pressure. “He went 10-for-10 yesterday with Tucker standing right there,” Toub said, according to ESPN’s report. Toub emphasized that Butker remains Kansas City’s preferred kicker despite the decision to add competition.
