INJURY UPDATE: Schrader OUT With Hamstring Injury │ Hendershot To IR │ Chiefs Sign Matthew Wright

Former Chiefs TE Jason Dunn and cohost Marcus Dash discuss the injuries to Spencer Schrader and Peyton Hendershot. In advance of Friday's Week 13 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, kicker Spencer Shrader and tight end Peyton Hendershot are dealing with injuries. It's a hamstring ailment for Shrader; he'll miss Tuesday's practice. Hendershot, who left Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers with a calf designation, is going on the injured reserve list.
Kansas City was already down its normal starting kicker, Harrison Butker. The trusted veteran suffered a meniscus injury during practice leading up to Week 11's loss to the Buffalo Bills, which prompted the signing of Shrader from the New York Jets' practice squad. The undrafted rookie free agent was perfect in his first two games as a Chief, even drilling a game-winning field goal as time expired on Sunday in Charlotte. Matthew Wright, who was with the Chiefs for two stints during the 2022-23 campaign and went 3-for-4 on field goal tries, is being signed to the practice squad as Shrader insurance.

Hendershot, a third-year pass catcher, was acquired prior to this year's mandatory roster cutdown deadline. Traded for in exchange for a conditional draft pick, the 25-year-old has bounced between the active roster and the practice squad but joined the team on a full basis when Jody Fortson suffered a season-ending knee injury. Hendershot played a combined 36 offensive snaps and 51 special teams reps in Weeks 9-12. The corresponding 'insurance policy' for him is tight end Baylor Cupp rejoining the practice squad from the PS/injured list.

To make room for Wright and Cupp on the practice squad, the Chiefs have terminated the practice squad contracts of offensive tackle Lucas Niang and defensive end Truman Jones. Niang was a 2020 Day 2 draft pick, and Jones has stuck around the organization since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2023.
