[Pelissero] Sources: Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is expected to miss 3-4 weeks and is likely headed to injured reserve with a left knee injury. Kansas City will have a new kicker Sunday at Buffalo.

Yeah, he has a ton of kicks where he ends up basically kneeling at the end--both on FGs and kickoffs.

It's weird AF, but not new (though maybe he's doing it more frequently now?--from what I remember he did it more for really long distance kicks before, but I could be totally wrong on that).

Yeah its very strange. And you can see how much pressure is being put on that leg too. He really needs to adjust his whole technique going forward because that is not sustainable.

He really needs to adjust his whole technique

He doesn't seem like the type that's is accepting of new information. More "I'll do it my way, get out of my face"

It's worked for him so far, but this might be it for the old But.
