Chiefs OT D.J. Humphries (hamstring) sits; Harrison Butker returns

New Kansas City Chiefs left tackle D.J. Humphries will miss practice on Wednesday while the team welcomed the return of kicker Harrison Butker after sitting out a month following knee surgery.

Humphries, 30, injured his hamstring in his first game with the Chiefs, a 19-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night.

"We're just going to take it day by day and see how he does," coach Andy Reid said of Humphries, who played 60 offensive snaps.

The Chiefs (12-1) signed the Pro Bowl tackle on Nov. 23 after Humphries worked his way back from a torn ACL sustained last season while playing with the Arizona Cardinals.

Humphries started 15 games last season and all 98 in which he's played since the Cardinals selected him with the 24th overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft. He was released in March.

Butker, 29, has not played since the Chiefs' 16-14 home win over the Denver Broncos on Nov. 10. He had surgery on his left knee and went on injured reserve.

"We're going to see how he does. He has a chance," Reid said of Butker playing in Sunday's road game against the Cleveland Browns.

Butker is 18 of 20 on field-goal attempts (long of 53) and 21 of 22 on extra-point attempts this season. He has won three Super Bowl titles with Kansas City.

The Chiefs replaced Butker with rookie Spencer Shrader, then he went on injured reserve due to a right hamstring injury. Kicker Matthew Wright stepped in for Shrader and made all four field-goal attempts against the Chargers, including the game-winning 31-yarder off the left upright as time expired.
