Titans' Matthew Wright: Impresses in Week 6
Wright made his lone field-goal and extra-point attempts during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Raiders.
The UCF product performed well while filling in for the injured Joey Slye (calf) in the Week 6 loss, converting on both of his kicks. Following Sunday's performance, Wright is likely to remain the Titans' top placekicker in the Week 7 matchup against the Patriots if Sly is unable to return.

Titans' Matthew Wright: Will kick for Tennessee in Week 6
The Titans elevated Wright from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
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.

Titans' Matthew Wright: Set to kick for Titans on Sunday
Wright is slated to kick for the Titans in Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
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.

Matthew Wright: Joins Titans' practice squad
Tennessee signed Wright to its practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
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.

Matthew Wright: Released by Carolina
Wright was released by the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.
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.

Panthers' Matthew Wright: Competing for job
Wright and Ryan Fitzgerald are in a close competition for Carolina's kicking job, according to Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer.
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.

Panthers' Matthew Wright: Inks deal with Carolina
The Panthers signed Wright to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Wright spent time with Kansas City, the 49ers and the Titans in 2024, converting 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.

Matthew Wright: Sent back to practice squad
Wright reverted to Tennessee's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
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.

Titans' Matthew Wright: Elevated for regular-season finale
The Titans elevated Wright from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
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.

Matthew Wright: Sticking around in Tennessee
The Titans signed Wright to the practice squad Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
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.

Matthew Wright: Dropped by Tennessee
The Titans waived Wright on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
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.

Titans' Matthew Wright: Promoted to active roster
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.
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.

Matthew Wright: Set to kick for Tennessee on Sunday
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.
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.

Matthew Wright: Added to Tennessee's practice squad
The Titans signed Wright to their practice squad Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
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.

Matthew Wright: Let go by KC
The Chiefs waived Wright on Saturday.
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.

Chiefs' Matthew Wright: Expected to be cut
Wright is expected to be let go by the Chiefs on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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.
