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.

Wright was signed to the Titans' active roster from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Jim Wyatt of the team's official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Nick Folk (abdomen) sidelined again and Brayden Narveson cut earlier in the week, Wright will get the Week 17 nod at kicker for Tennessee. This will be the third team he has kicked for this season. He has gone a combined 11-for-12 on field-goal attempts and 5-for-5 on extra points in three games between the 49ers and Chiefs.

The Titans are expected to promote Wright from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Nick Folk (abdomen) still injured, Wright is expected to get the Week 17 nod at kicker after Brayden Narveson was cut Monday following an uneven Week 16 showing versus Indianapolis, where he went two for two on his extra points but missed his lone field-goal attempt. Wright will kick for his third team already this season after he went a combined 11-for-12 on field-goal attempts and 5-for-5 on extra-point tries in three combined games for the 49ers and Chiefs.

The Titans signed Wright to their practice squad Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright arrives in Tennessee having previously appeared in three games between stops with the 49ers and Chiefs, during which he converted on 11 of 12 field-goal attempts and five of five extra-point tries. He'll give Tennessee another option at kicker after the team waived Brayden Narveson, who filled in for an injured Nick Folk (abdomen) in Week 16 and hit both of his extra-point tries but misfired on his lone field-goal attempt in a 38-30 loss to the Colts. Wright will likely be elevated to the active roster and serve as the Titans' kicker for Sunday's game against the Jaguars if Folk isn't cleared to play.

The Chiefs waived Wright on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright's departure from Kansas City comes as a corresponding move to Harrison Butker (knee) being activated off injured reserve. Wright filled in for Butker during the final two weeks of the latter's absence and went 8-for-9 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while also converting both his extra-point attempts. Wright's overall success this season -- he also went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries earlier in the campaign in one game with the 49ers -- should make him one of the most desirable options should another organization have a sudden need for a placekicker.

Wright is expected to be let go by the Chiefs on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison Butker (knee) is expected to be activated off injured reserve and kick Sunday, which would push out Wright entirely despite going 8-for-9 on FGAs over his two games with the Chiefs this season. Expect the team to formally announce both transactions at some point later Saturday.

Wright made all four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was perfect, connecting from 47, 33, and 50 yards out, before converting the game-winning 31-yard try as time expired, sealing a win for the Chiefs. The 28-year-old is now 8-for-9 on FGAs in two games with Kansas City this season and could operate as the team's kicker in Week 15 against the Browns if Harrison Butker (knee) isn't ready to return from IR.

Wright has been signed to the Chiefs' active roster.
EDGE Analysis
With Spencer Shrader (hamstring) having been placed on IR on Wednesday, Wright is slated to handle the team's kicking duties Sunday night against the Chargers. Beyond that, it remains to be seen if Wright holds on to the assignment, with Harrison Butker (knee) potentially rejoining the mix as soon as Week 15.

Wright reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was the Chiefs' placekicker for Friday's game against the Raiders. He went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and converted his lone extra-point try as he paced Kansas City to a 19-17 win over Las Vegas. With Harrison Butker (knee) on injured reserve and Spencer Shrader nursing a hamstring injury, Wright could be the Chiefs' starting kicker for Week 14 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 8.
