Reid has not decided whether Butker will remain Chiefs kicker
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the New York Jets 35-12 on Sunday.
Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker missed a 51-yard field goal just before halftime and was booed by fans at Arrowhead Stadium.
He has missed seven field goals this season, the most in the NFL, and has also missed extra points since last season began.
Coach Andy Reid has not decided whether Butker will stay and said he will review the situation during the week.
The Chiefs signed veteran kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad two weeks ago, but special teams coordinator Dave Toub had previously said Butker would continue as the team's kicker.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes said the team still has confidence in Butker, while Butker said he feels healthy and needs to make his kicks.
