Officially questionable for Week 15 Butker (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cleveland.
Impact Since the Chiefs designated him for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Butker has put together three consecutive limited practices, thereby giving him a chance to play this weekend. He's been sidelined since Week 10 after undergoing a meniscus trim on his left knee on Nov. 15. Ultimately, in order for Butker to suit up Sunday, he'll need to be activated from IR by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday. Matthew Wright is lined up to kick if that doesn't come to pass.

Remains limited Thursday Butker (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Impact Butker is eligible to return from injured reserve in time for Sunday's game against the Browns, but it remains to be seen if Kansas City will activate him in time. Matthew Wright has handled kicking duties the last two weeks, going eight of nine on field goals and two for two on extra points in that span.

Officially designated to return Butker (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Butker returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since sustaining a meniscus injury in early November. His limited session suggests that he could return as soon as Kansas City's Week 15 matchup against the Browns; however, his participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into his availability Sunday. Additionally, Butker must still be activated to the Chiefs' active roster in order to play in Week 15.

Impact Kansas City is opening Butker's 21-day practice window, within which he can be added to the 53-man roster and removed from IR at any time. The kicker has already missed four games while recovering from a meniscus trim on his left knee. Interim kicker Matthew Wright made all four of his field-goal tries, including a game-winner, during the Chiefs' narrow win over the Chargers in Week 14, and he could continue to fill in versus Cleveland if Butker is at anything less than 100 percent health.

Impact Butker is currently on injured reserve and is required to miss at least one more contest, but it sounds like he has a chance to be back after missing the minimum amount of time. He required a meniscus trim and seems to be recovering as planned. Matthew Wright will kick for Kansas City this upcoming Sunday against the Chargers.
