Wright will step in as Pittsburgh's kicker beginning with Sunday's game against the Saints after Chris Boswell (groin) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright had already been expected to handle kicking duties this weekend after the Steelers signed him off the Chiefs' practice squad Wednesday, but Boswell's move to IR gives the former a more extended opportunity. Boswell will have to spend a minimum of four games on IR, clearing the way for Wright to continue to build on what's been a strong start to his NFL career. Despite having bounced around the league since going undrafted in 2019, Wright has converted 28 of his 32 field-goal attempts (87.5 percent) over 19 career games with the Steelers, Jaguars and Chiefs.

Pittsburgh signed Wright off Kansas City's practice squad Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright made his NFL debut with the Steelers in 2020, but he's since had stints with the Jaguars and Chiefs, the latter of whom he appeared with in two games earlier this season. Over 19 career NFL games, Wright has converted 28 of 32 field-goal attempts and 28 of 30 extra-point tries. The Steelers' decision to sign him suggests that he'll likely serve as the team's kicker Week 10 against the Saints while Chris Boswell continues to tend to a groin injury following Pittsburgh's bye week.

Wright reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad.

EDGE Analysis

In Week 5's matchup against the Raiders, Wright made one of his two field goal attempts for 59 yards but missed his attempt from 41. The 26-year-old kicker also made all three of his extra point attempts. Wright will have one more attempt for activation while on the Chiefs' practice squad in 2022.

The Chiefs have elevated Wright from their practice squad ahead of Monday night's game against the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Harrison Butker out due to a left ankle injury, Wright is slated to handle the team's kicking duties for the second game in a row. In Kansas City's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers in Week 4, Wright made both of his field-goal attempts en route to recording 11 points.

Wright reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Wright converted both of his field-goal attempts and all five of his PATs after being elevated to Kansas City's active roster in Week 4. The 26-year-old joined the Chiefs' practice squad last Tuesday to serve as the team's backup kicker behind Harrison Butker (ankle), who sat out for the third week in a row Sunday. Wright will now be eligible for two more game-day activations while on Kansas City's practice squad this season.

Wright was elevated to the active roster Saturday and will kick for the Chiefs on Sunday with Harrison Butker (ankle) sidelined.

EDGE Analysis

Wright joined the Chiefs' practice squad earlier this week and won't waste any time jumping up to the active roster. The second-year kicker was relatively automatic last year with the Jaguars, missing just three of his 24 field goals, but all three of those misses came from 40-plus yards out. Conditions could be tricky with Sunday's game being played in Tampa Bay, as the state of Florida continues to deal with the damage from the most recent hurricane.

Wright was signed to the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday, Charles Goldman of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright was added by Kansas City as starting kicker Harrison Butker, who returned to practice Wednesday, is still working his way back from an ankle injury suffered in Week 1. The practice-squad kicker went 34-of-39 on total kicking attempts over 14 games with Jacksonville last season, so he will provide a reliable backup option if Butker sits out once again this Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Wright was released by the Jaguars on Wednesday, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright's release comes after a season in which he appeared in 14 contests for Jacksonville, making 21 of 24 field-goal attempts, for an 88 percent conversion rate. The second-year pro took over for the released Josh Lambo in Week 4 last season, and never relinquished kicker duties. It would now appear that Ryan Santoso, who was signed in March after spending time with the Panthers and Lions last season, as well as undrafted free agent Andrew Mevis, will compete for Kicker duties for the Jags.

Wright made all four field-goal attempts and both PATs during Sunday's 26-11 win over the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Wright made field goals from 20, 22, 31 and 39 yards and finished the campaign by making his last 14 attempts. The 25-year-old served as Jacksonville's kicker for 14 games, and he went 21-for-24 on field goals and 13-for-15 on extra points. Wright remains under contract for 2022 and should be the favorite to kick next season, though the Jags may bring in some competition.

Wright made his lone field-goal attempt and his lone PAT during Sunday's 50-10 loss at New England.

EDGE Analysis

Jacksonville's offense managed only 11 first downs, so Wright once again had limited opportunities in the kicking game. He missed his first field goal of the season but is 16-for-18 on field goals over the past 10 games. Despite not missing a field goal since Week 10, Wright won't be on the fantasy radar for the final game of the regular season given the offense's struggles.
