The Chiefs will need Wright again for this week\u2019s primetime game against the Los Angeles Chargers as Shrader\u2019s 2024 season has ended abruptly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_zentviwnh\">According to Charles Goldman of AtoZ Sports, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters on Wednesday that Shrader was placed on injured reserve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_y5a5xlevj\">If you are Reid, this is the last thing you want to hear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_y5a5xlevj\">The Chiefs are still waiting for Pro Bowl kicker Harrison Butker to return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_y5a5xlevj\">Butker was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury on Nov. 14. The veteran kicker\u2019s left knee injury reportedly required arthroscopic surgery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_900mtdsqo\">It\u2019s less than ideal to lose two kickers to injury in the same season, but Wright performed well in his Chiefs\u2019 debut against the Raiders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_900mtdsqo\">Kansas City needed all those points from Wright as the offense could not capitalize in the red zone against the Raiders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_neja6a3pe\">Kansas City\u2019s offense will try to get back on track against the best-scoring defense in the league (15.2 points per game allowed), but it won\u2019t be easy. Therefore, Wright might be called upon a few times on Sunday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters on Wednesday that the team placed Spencer Shrader on injured reserve.
