Wright will serve as the Jaguars' kicker Sunday against the Dolphins in London with Josh Lambo (coach's decision) inactive for the contest, Mia O'Brien of First Coast News Jacksonville reports.
EDGE Analysis
For the second straight week, Wright has won out in the competition for kicking duties with Lambo, who has been forced to battle for his job since his Week 4 absence due to a personal matter. Though he converted on only one of two extra-point tries and hit the crossbar and missed on a 53-yard attempt in last week's loss to the Titans, Wright could build up some more job security with a stronger showing in London.

Wright signed a contract with the Jaguars on Saturday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It sure seems like Josh Lambo's tenure with the team could be coming to an end, and at least for the immediate future expect Wright to once again handle the primary kicking duties. Wright has attempted just one field goal over the last two weeks as a starter, but he's at least gone 4-for-5 on extra-point attempts over that stretch.

Wright reverted back to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Wright operated as the primary kicker Sunday, as Josh Lambo (coach's decision) was inactive. However, he failed to take advantage of the opportunity, as he hit the upright on a PAT during the first quarter and left a 53-yard field goal short.

Wright made one of two PATs and missed his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 37-19 loss to the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Wright hit the right upright on a PAT during the first quarter, and he also came up short and hit the crossbar on a 53-yard field goal. The 25-year-old won the kicking competition with Josh Lambo last week, but he was unable to fully take advantage of the game opportunity. Lambo and Wright are a combined 0-for-4 on field-goal attempts as the Jaguars have yet to convert one this season. Wright was a gameday elevation Sunday and will revert back to the practice squad, and it's uncertain if he'll receive another chance to kick for Jacksonville.

Wright is active for Sunday's game against the Titans and will handle kicking duties.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game and will operate as Jacksonville's kicker with Josh Lambo (coach's decision) inactive. Wright made his team debut last week and made all three of his PAT attempts.

Wright was elevated from the Jaguars' practice squad Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright will join the active roster for a second straight game after he converted all three of his extra-point tries last week. Josh Lambo could be active, but Wright seems to have a good chance to handle kicking duties against Tennessee.

Wright has reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Wright replaced Josh Lambo (personal) on the team's active roster for Thursday's Week 4 loss to the Bengals. He converted all of his PATs and not attempt a field goal during the contest.

Wright made all three of his PATs and did not attempt a field goal during Thursday's 24-21 loss to the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old was promoted from the practice squad to kick Thursday with Josh Lambo (personal) unavailable, and he delivered on the few opportunities he had versus Cincinnati. Wright is poised to revert to the practice squad, but he could receive a longer look from the Jags given Lambo is 0-for-3 on field goals and 5-for-7 on PATs through three games this season.

The Jaguars elevated Wright from their practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Bengals, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Wright will at least temporarily join the Jaguars to handle kicking duties while Josh Lambo (personal) misses the Week 4 matchup. Jacksonville hasn't indicated that Lambo will miss additional time beyond Thursday's game, but a solid showing by Wright could put Lambo's job on notice in any case. Through the Jaguars' first three games, Lambo has missed all three of his field-goal attempts and has converted on only five of seven extra-point tries.

Wright is slated to see a large role Thursday against the Bengals with Josh Lambo ruled out, J.P. Shadrick reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright will make his Jacksonville debut Thursday night as Josh Lambo has struggled to hit field goals consistently this season. The kicker spent time with the Steelers last season and has yet to miss a field goal or extra point so far in his young career. The 25-year-old will look to keep up his perfection against the Bengals in what would be Wright's fourth career NFL game.
