The Titans elevated Wright from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was added to the Titans' practice squad Wednesday, and he will serve as Tennessee's kicker for Sunday's game against Las Vegas due to the absence of Joey Slye (calf). Wright appeared in five regular-season games between the Titans, Chiefs and 49ers in 2024 and went 15-for-16 on field-goal attempts and 6-for-6 on extra-point tries.

Wright is slated to kick for the Titans in Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright, who joined the Titans' practice squad Wednesday, is slated to be elevated ahead of Sunday's contest, with fellow kicker Joey Slye (calf) having been ruled out this week. Through five games to date, Slye has recorded a total of 43 points, including 10 in a Week 5 win over the Cardinals. With that pace in mind, Wright represents a lineup option for those scrambling for kicker help this weekend.

Tennessee signed Wright to its practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Regular starting kicker Joey Slye did not participate at practice Wednesday due to a calf injury, so Wright's name will be one to keep an eye on as Sunday's game at Las Vegas approaches. In five games in 2024 with the Chiefs, 49ers and Titans, he made 15 of his 16 field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point tries.

Wright was released by the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright signed with the Panthers in February and competed with rookie Ryan Fitzgerald for the team's starting kicker role at training camp, ultimately losing the battle. Wright missed his lone field-goal attempt, while also adding a PAT over two preseason games with Carolina. The kicker has appeared in at least one regular-season contest in five consecutive seasons, so he'll likely find another opportunity elsewhere in 2025.

Wright and Ryan Fitzgerald are in a close competition for Carolina's kicking job, according to Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer.
EDGE Analysis
Fitzgerald is an undrafted rookie, while Wright has kicked for six different NFL teams in the regular season, converting 55 of 63 field-goal attempts (87.3 percent) and 41 of 43 PATs (95.3 percent) in 29 games. Panthers coach Dave Canales said Monday that he doesn't have any clarity on the competition, because both kickers have been impressive this summer and made strong cases for the job.

The Panthers signed Wright to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright spent time with the Chiefs, 49ers and Titans in 2024, converting on 15 of his 16 field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point tries. With Eddy Pineiro set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, Wright's signing provides Carolina with another option at kicker if the team elects to not re-sign Pineiro for the 2025 season.

Wright reverted to Tennessee's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was elevated from the Titans' practice squad ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against Houston with Nick Folk (abdomen) unable to play. Wright made both of his field-goal attempts -- a 35-yarder and a 38-yarder -- in the contest and didn't attempt any extra points. The veteran placekicker also saw action in two games with Kansas City and in one game with San Francisco during the campaign, finishing a collective 15-for-16 on field-goal attempts (his only miss came from 59 yards out) and 6-for-6 on point-after tries. Given his success in all three of his stops this season, Wright could be an appealing option if any playoff team needs to replace its kicker at any point during the postseason.

The Titans elevated Wright from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright will serve as the Titans' kicker for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Texans due to Nick Folk (abdomen) being ruled out. Wright made all three of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Tennessee's Week 17 loss to Jacksonville. Wright and Ka'imi Fairbairn will have their fair share of kicking issues as rain is expected for most, if not all, of Sunday's contest.

The Titans signed Wright to the practice squad Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was the starting kicker during the Titans' Week 17 loss to the Jaguars, during which he connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try. He was waived by Tennessee on Monday, but now that he's on the practice squad, he could be elevated to the active roster for Sunday's regular-season finale against Houston if Nick Folk (abdomen) is unable to play.

The Titans waived Wright on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright impressed while serving as the Titans' top kicker in the Week 17 loss to the Jaguars, converting on all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try while filling in for the injured Nick Folk (abdomen). Folk is likely to return and serve as Tennessee's starting kicker in the Week 18 matchup against the Colts after Wright was waived Monday.
