Matthew Wright: Everything you need to know

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 the Steelers, Jaguars, Chiefs, Panthers, 49ers, Titans, Texans and Commanders in 33 games over the past six seasons, converting 60 of his 68 career field-goal attempts (88.2 percent) with a long of 59 yards.

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.

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.
