Matthew Wright: Joins Buffalo's practice squad
The Bills signed Wright to their practice squad Tuesday.
Buffalo will bring Wright aboard as an insurance option at kicker in the event that Matt Prater (quadriceps) is unable to play in Sunday's wild-card game at Jacksonville. The well-traveled Wright has previously seen NFL action with eight teams over the last six seasons, converting 60 of his 68 field-goal attempts (88.2 percent) with a long of 59 yards over 33 career games.

Matthew Wright: Waived by Texans
The Texans have waived Wright.
Wright connected on all four of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries over the Texans' last two games while filling in for Ka'imi Fairbairn. After being listed as a full practice participant in Wednesday's walk-through, however, Fairbairn doesn't carry an injury designation for Thursday night's game against the Bills, a context that has prompted Houston to let Wright go.

Texans' Matthew Wright: Plays hero in Week 11
Wright went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Titans.
Wright made a 41-yard field goal in the third quarter before later adding a 43-yard make with 11:59 left in the fourth. He was then tasked with attempting a potential game-winning kick from 35 yards as time expired in regulation, nailing the kick for his third make of the day. Wright has now gone 4-for-4 on field-goal tries while making two starts with the Texans in place of Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps), and he could draw another start against the Bills on Thursday Night Football in Week 12.

Texans' Matthew Wright: Will start Week 11
Wright will start Sunday's game against the Titans with Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) having been ruled out on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Houston signed Wright to the active roster after Fairbairn suffered his quad injury Week 9, signaling that the team anticipated needing a multi-game fill-in. In his team debut versus the Jaguars in Week 10, Wright converted his only field-goal attempt and his lone extra-point try. He'll work to remain accurate on the road against Tennessee.

Texans' Matthew Wright: Makes two kicks in Houston debut
Wright made his only field-goal attempt and his lone extra-point try during the Texans' 36-29 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
It was a quiet Texans debut for Wright, who connected on a 23-yard chip shot in the second quarter in what was ultimately his only field-goal attempt of the game. He was signed to Houston's active roster Saturday, and he will serve as the team's starting kicker in Week 11 against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 16 if Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) is not cleared to play.

Texans' Matthew Wright: Signed to Houston's active roster
The Texans signed Wright from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
The move means Wright will serve as the Texans' starting placekicker against the Jaguars on Sunday due to the absence of Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps). Wright has appeared in two regular-season games in 2025 between the Titans and Commanders, and he has connected on 87.5 percent of his field goals on 64 attempts during his six-year NFL career. Davis Mills will serve as the Texans' starting quarterback in Week 10 in the absence of C.J. Stroud (concussion), so Wright could have more field-goal opportunities assuming Houston's offense stalls out more often in opposing territory and the red zone.

Texans' Matthew Wright: Expected to be active Week 10
Wright is expected to replace the injured Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) as Houston's placekicker for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Wilson goes as far to say that Fairbairn, who leads NFL kickers with 25 field-goal attempts, has been ruled out Week 10, but the Texans have not yet confirmed that. If he replaces Fairbairn, Wright steps into a friendly situation for a kicker, as Houston's offense ranks last in the NFL in converting red-zone appearances into touchdowns.

Matthew Wright: Joins Texans' practice squad
The Texans signed Wright to their practice squad Wednesday.
The veteran from UCF has already kicked for the Titans and Commanders this season, converting on his lone field-goal and extra-point attempts across two games. With Ka'imi Fairbairn (lower body) dealing with an injury, Wright could be elevated to the Texans' active roster to handle placekicking duties in the team's Week 10 matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Matthew Wright: Cut by Washington
The Commanders released Wright from their practice squad Tuesday.
Wright was elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties for the Commanders in Monday's 28-7 loss to Kansas City. Though he connected on his only kick of the game -- an extra-point try late in the second quarter -- Wright will end up parting ways with the organization one day later. The release likely signals that Matt Gay (back) will be ready to serve as the Commanders' placekicker in their Week 9 matchup with the Seahawks.

Commanders' Matthew Wright: Making spot start for Commanders
Washington signed Wright to the practice squad Monday and elevated him to the active roster to handle placekicking duties in place of Matt Gay (back) versus the Chiefs.
Wright, who made a start for the Titans in Week 6 but was then cut from Tennessee's practice squad on Oct. 17, now will hold down the fort at kicker for the Commanders for at least one game. He was perfect in limited action for the Titans, converting his only field-goal try and his lone extra-point attempt. If Gay's injury keeps him sidelined more than one contest, Wright could get another chance to kick Week 9 versus Seattle.

Commanders' Matthew Wright: Miniscule workload during MNF
Wright did not attempt a field goal and made his only extra-point try in Monday night's 28-7 loss to the Chiefs.
Wright was elevated from the practice squad to start in place of Matt Gay (back) in Week 8, but he ultimately wasn't overly busy in the defeat. The kicker has now made two spot starts with the Titans and Commanders this season, making his only field-goal attempt while going 2-for-2 on PATs. If Gay is unavailable for Washington's Week 9 matchup with the Seahawks, Wright would likely be elevated again.
