Chiefs Sign Matthew Wright To Practice Squad, Could Start On Friday
2 mins agoThe Kansas City Chiefs signed kicker Matthew Wright to the practice squad on Tuesday, according to Chiefs beat writer Matt Derrick. Harrison Butker (knee) is on the Injured Reserve list, and fill-in kicker Spencer Shrader (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury. Wright kicked in two games for the Chiefs in 2022. Overall, he has attempted kicks for five NFL squads, connecting on 43 of his 50 field goal attempts and 38 of his 40 extra point tries in 21 games. Shrader has averaged 7.6 fantasy points per game in the absence of Butker, so if Wright draws a start for K.C., he's unlikely to be a high-end kicker option in Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Black Friday.
