Not practicing again Butker (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Butker hasn't played since Week 1, when he suffered a sprained ankle. The fact that he's not practicing to begin Week 5 doesn't bode well for his early chances of suiting up Monday against the Raiders, but the Chiefs may wait until their final session of the week Saturday before ruling on Butker's status. If Butker remains out for another week, Matthew Wright, who made both of his field-goal attempts and all five point-after tries Week 4 against the Buccaneers, would likely be elevated from the practice squad again.

Game-time call for Week 4 Butker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Impact Butker missed practice Thursday and Friday, but coach Andy Reid said the kicker's status nonetheless will come down to a game-time decision, per Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star. Fantasy managers who are hoping for Butker to play for the first time since the season opener should make sure to have room on the roster for potential replacement Matthew Wright, as alternatives will be limited with the Chiefs playing Sunday night.

Not present at practice Friday Butker (ankle) was not spotted during Friday's practice, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Butker has been sidelined for back-to-back games due to a sprained left ankle, and while he returned to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, he's since missed back-to-back sessions. Special-teams coordinator Dave Toub suggested Thursday that Butker's status for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay would be a real game-time decision, so his availability likely won't be known until closer to Sunday's 8:20 PM ET kickoff.

Impact After sitting out both of the Chiefs' past two games with a sprained left ankle, Butker practiced Wednesday in a limited fashion, but he was held out Thursday while still contending with some soreness. The Chiefs will see if Butker is able to get back on the practice field in some capacity Friday before giving him a designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. If Butker is forced to miss another game, Matthew Wright would likely be elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties for Kansas City in Week 4.
