Chiefs | Cairo Santos placed on IR

Kansas City Chiefs PK Cairo Santos (groin) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Sept. 26.

Footballguys View: Santos could be brought back later in the year if healthy enough to play. They’ll be without Santos for at least eight weeks, putting a potential return near the fantasy playoffs. He was perfect so far this year, but the groin injury that caused him to miss three games in the preseason just wouldn’t clear up. In the meantime, rookie kicker Harrison Butker gets an opportunity with the Chiefs while Santos is out.
