Cut from practice squad
The Chiefs cut Wright from their practice squad Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
When Harrison Butker was dealing with back spasms during the regular season, Wright made two appearances for the Chiefs, connecting on 3-of-4 field-goal attempts and all eight of his extra-point tries. However, Wright hasn't played in a game since Week 13 and will lose his spot on the practice squad ahead of the Super Bowl. In a corresponding move, Kansas City re-signed Jerrion Ealy to its practice squad.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
With Matt Prater gone, Wright will compete with veteran Randy Bullock for kicking duties in Detroit this season. With 107 games played for the 31-year-old Bullock compared to four 2020 cameos for the 25-year-old Wright, experience is not on the latter's side. Wright at least took advantage of the limited action he saw with the Steelers last year, making four of four field goal attempts - including two from beyond 40 yards - and all seven of his PATs. In the end, he may be a long shot to prevail, but he does have a chance.
