Kansas City signed Wright to its practice squad Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports. Interim starting kicker Spencer Shrader (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Raiders, so it would stand to reason that Wright is the Chiefs' plan at kicker for Week 13. He has already kicked for a different team this season, making all of his three field-goal tries and converting all three of his extra-point attempts in Week 6 with the 49ers.

The 49ers waived Wright (shoulder) from injured reserve Friday, per the NFL's transaction log. Wright served as the 49ers' kicker in Week 6 against the Seahawks while Jake Moody (ankle) was sidelined. However, Wright suffered shoulder and back injuries during that game, and he was placed on injured reserve prior to San Francisco's Week 7 contest. Once Wright has recovered from his injuries, he'll look to catch on with a team in need of kicking depth, likely on a practice squad.

The 49ers placed Wright (shoulder/back) on injured reserve Saturday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Wright injured his shoulder and back in Week 6 against the Seahawks as he stepped in as the starting placekicker for Jake Moody (ankle). Anders Carlson was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, and he is expected to be the 49ers' placekicker for as long as Wright and Moody are sidelined. Wright must miss at least the next four games, and the earliest he could return is Week 12 against the Packers on Nov. 24.

Wright (shoulder/back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs. Working in place of Jake Moody (ankle) in Week 6 at Seattle, Wright emerged from the game with shoulder and back injuries that didn't allow him to practice Wednesday through Friday. Per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle, the 49ers are expected to place Wright on injured reserve Saturday and subsequently elevate Anders Carlson from the practice squad. Considering Moody is expected to be out about one month, Carlson presumably will get a few chances to serve as the 49ers' regular placekicker.

Wright (shoulder/back) did not participate at the 49ers' practice Thursday. Wright was forced to miss a second straight practice to open the week as he tends to shoulder and back injuries. The kicker injured himself making a tackle in San Francisco's win over the Seahawks in Week 6 and his availability for Week 7 is now in question. Wright will look to return to practice Friday, but if he can't go Sunday against Kansas City, Anders Carlson will likely be elevated to the active roster in his place. Top placekicker Jake Moody (ankle) was also unavailable for Thursday's session and seems unlikely to go in Week 7.
