The Steelers signed Wright on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wright, who has had previous stints with the Steelers since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2019, has also spent time with the Falcons, Panthers, Lions, Patriots and 49ers. Now that the well-traveled 28-year-old kicker is back with Pittsburgh, he'll provide the team with depth behind top option Chris Boswell.

Wright reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Wright was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 9-0 loss to the Buccaneers, missing his only field-goal attempt from 52 yards in the contest. The kicker spent the 2023 campaign on and off of multiple practice squads and he will look to earn an active roster spot in 2024.

Wright is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers and will serve as the team's kicker in Week 18, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright will fill in for Eddy Pineiro, who sustained a hamstring injury early in last week's 26-0 loss to the Jaguars and won't be available for the finale. The 27-year-old Wright last kicked for the Steelers in 2022, suiting up four times and making 12 of 14 field-goal attempts.

The Panthers elevated Wright to the active roster Saturday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move comes with Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Buccaneers. Wright has jumped around multiple practice squads this season before linking up with the Panthers on Tuesday. He'll suit up for Week 18 if Pineiro is ruled out.

The Panthers signed Wright to their practice squad Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carolina is bringing in a kicker after current option Eddy Pineiro was unable to play this past Sunday at Jacksonville due to a tight hamstring that he suffered during pregame warmups. Wright spent most of August with the Panthers before getting cut as a part of roster reduction after the preseason, and since then he's spent time on the 49ers', Falcons' and Patriots' practice squads. If the team ends up needing his services Sunday against the Buccaneers, it'll mark his first action of the campaign after he connected on 15 of 18 field-goal attempts and all 15 point-after tries in six appearances between the Steelers and Chiefs last season.

The Patriots cut Wright from their practice squad Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old kicker was brought in just over a week ago after Chad Ryland missed 35-yard field-goal attempts in back-to-back games, but the team has now decided to part ways with Wright. New England saw Ryland go three-for-three on extra-point attempts during Thursday night's win over the Steelers, so this move could be a vote of confidence in the first-year kicker.

Wright signed with the Patriots' practice squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

New England released wide receiver Mathew Sexton to make room for the kicker. Wright was cut from the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday but went 12-for-14 on field goal attempts with the Chiefs and Steelers in 2022.

Wright is expected to be signed to the Patriots' practice squad, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright could be a possibility to compete with Chad Ryland as New England's starting kicker, though nothing is set in stone yet. The 27-year-old was let go from Atlanta's practice squad Tuesday and may have a new home with the Patriots. Wright appeared in six games between the Chiefs and the Steelers in 2022, going 12-for-14 on field-goal attempts.

The Falcons released Wright from the practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wright signed with Atlanta last week with Younghoe Koo battling a back injury, which he ultimately played through against New Orleans. The 27-year-old Wright will look for an opportunity elsewhere.

Atlanta signed Wright to the practice squad Thursday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright joins the Falcons' practice squad after Younghoe Koo (back) missed Wednesday's practice. Depending on Koo's status for Week 12, Wright could be asked to make a spot start Sunday versus the Saints.
