Wright dislocated his shoulder during Thursday's 36-24 win over the Seahawks and is awaiting an MRI on the injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright suffered the injury while making a tackle late in the game. Prior to that, he was effective filling in for Jake Moody (ankle), converting all three of his field-goal attempts and adding three successful PATs. If Wright is unable to recover before the 49ers host the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 20, San Francisco would have to turn to its third kicker in three games.

Wright agreed to a contract with the 49ers on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

One of five kickers who worked out for the 49ers on Monday, Wright emerged as the winner of the competition to replace Jake Moody, who is likely to miss at least Thursday's game against the Seahawks due to a high-ankle sprain. Wright has seen NFL action in each of the last four seasons across stops with the Steelers, Jaguars, Chiefs and Panthers, converting 40 of 47 field-goal attempts (85.1 percent) with a career long of 59 yards. While he's tied to a San Francisco offense that ranks second in the NFL in yards per game (407.4), Wright could represent a usable fantasy option for the duration of Moody's absence.

The Steelers released Wright on Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright has logged previous stints with Pittsburgh, as well as a number of other NFL teams, but he was never a true candidate to beat out Chris Boswell for a spot on the Steelers' 53-man roster. He could be a candidate to resurface on Pittsburgh's practice squad if he doesn't find a role elsewhere.

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.
