Chiefs sign former All-Pro kicker Justin Tucker as Butker’s struggles continue

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - As Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker stands tied for the NFL lead in missed field goals in 2026, the organization is bringing in some backup. According to several reports, the Chiefs are signing eight-time All-Pro kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad. The news was first reported by The Kansas City Star’s Sam McDowell and confirmed by Chiefs head coach Andy Reid during his weekly Wednesday press conference. Tucker is the NFL’s second all-time leader in made field goal percentage -- a list that Butker is in the top 5 of as well -- but has not been employed since the Baltimore Ravens released him in May 2025.

Lamar Jackson practices in full, but injury concerns continue to hang over Ravens QB

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Lamar Jackson was a full participant in practice for the Baltimore Ravens, which suggests his latest injury saga could be over sooner rather than later. “I think the more you’re able to do and respond from and feel from certainly raises your optimism,” coach Jesse Minter said Wednesday. “But again, we’ll kind of see how it goes throughout the week.” The Ravens play at Buffalo on Sunday. Since his first full season as a starter in 2019, Jackson ranks seventh in starts among NFL quarterbacks. He’s been less durable than fellow MVPs Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, but other top quarterbacks like Joe Burrow and Brock Purdy have had similar injury issues to the Baltimore star. Yet it’s Jackson whose absences are so angst-inducing and opaque. A combination of factors are at play — the league’s culture of secrecy when it comes to injuries, a player whose mindset is hard to…

Schuylkill River Passenger Rail Authority takes next step

With federal funding stalled, the Schuylkill River Passenger Rail Authority will use state grants to move forward the effort to restore rail service from Reading to Philadelphia. The project — which has brought together officials from Berks, Montgomery and Chester counties — began in 2022 with the formation of the authority. It aims to create passenger rail service with stops in Reading, Pottstown and Phoenixville. The effort has been included in the federal Corridor Identification and Development Program, which offers funding and other support. With its acceptance into the program, the authority received $500,000 to complete the first phase that included developing the scope and costs of a service plan that will examine ridership and revenue forecasts, capital programming and an operational analysis. Having completed the first phase in September 2024, the authority is now waiting for…

Pentagon Watchdog Tells Lawmakers It Won't Investigate Starlink Slowdowns to Ukraine

The Pentagon's watchdog is refusing a bipartisan request to investigate recent disruptions to Starlink and Starshield satellite internet service to Ukraine Pentagon Watchdog Tells Lawmakers It Won't Investigate Starlink Slowdowns to Ukraine That is being seen as the inspector general's refusal to investigate Musk and Starlink, despite being well-positioned to do so, according to a congressional aide familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue. “It is concerning that the Inspector General has apparently decided not to investigate satellite communication disruptions that Ukraine relies on to protect its civilians,” Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who signed the initial letter, said in a statement to the AP. Shaheen added that “the Trump Administration and SpaceX have provided conflicting…
