Wright was waived by the Panthers on Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

Wright was brought in by Carolina early in training camp to fill in for Eddy Pineiro (groin) while he was sidelined. It was made clear that Pineiro's job was not on the line, so Wright was simply there as a filler. He will now use his time there as a reference for other teams as he begins to seek out new employment opportunities.

Ryland connected on an extra-point try in Friday's 23-7 preseason loss to the Titans.

As Tuesday's roster cut-downs approach, Ryland and veteran Nick Folk are still in the Patriots' kicker mix and remain in what coach Bill Belichick noted Friday was a "pretty tight competition," Mark Daniels of masslive.com reports. Given that the Patriots selected Ryland in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, it would be surprising to see him let go, but with both kickers having had "really good camps," per Belichick, the team has a tough decision to make at the position, with Daniels suggesting that both players making the initial cut is a possible outcome.

Gonzalez will not return to Friday's preseason finale against the Chargers due to a calf injury, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

Gonzalez has been filling in for rookie kicker Jake Moody (quadriceps). Now that both kickers are unavailable Friday, punter Mitch Wishnowsky will presumably handle kicking duties. The severity of Gonzalez's injury is unknown at this time.

Boswell converted his lone field-goal attempt while making all three of his extra-point tries during Thursday's 24-0 preseason win over Atlanta.

Boswell didn't appear in the Steelers' preseason opener but has been effective since then, making all nine of his kicks over the last two games. B.T. Potter missed his lone kick -- a 43-yard field-goal attempt -- in the fourth quarter Thursday, so Boswell appears to be the favorite to open the regular season as the Steelers' placekicker.

Potter missed his lone field-goal attempt during Thursday's 24-0 preseason win over the Falcons.

Potter was perfect during the Steelers' preseason opener but didn't play during last weekend's exhibition win over Buffalo. He got a chance to contribute late in Thursday's matchup but missed a 43-yard field-goal attempt wide left in the fourth quarter. Chris Boswell converted his lone field-goal attempt while making all three of his extra-point tries after making all five of his kicks last weekend, so he appears to be the favorite to serve as the team's starting placekicker to begin the regular season.

Moody strained his right quadriceps and won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Chargers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

The rookie is day-to-day, but an injury to his kicking leg could be a problem even if it isn't too serious. Moody had a rough summer after being selected in the third round in April, missing two field-goal attempts and a PAT in his two preseason games. Zane Gonzalez will handle all the kicks Friday night.

Pineiro (groin) kicked during practice Wednesday, but his longest field-goal attempt was from 43 yards out, David Newton of ESPN reports.

Pineiro isn't known for having a big leg, but his range being limited to 43 yards Wednesday suggests he's taking it easy as he works his way back from a groin injury. In encouraging news, Pineiro said he felt good Wednesday, and Panthers head coach Frank Reich affirmed that the team doesn't intend to bring in competition at kicker. It's unclear if Pineiro will be available for Friday's preseason finale against the Lions, but barring a setback, he'll be kicking in the Sept. 10 regular-season opener against the Falcons.

The Titans signed Badgley on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

After being let go by the Commanders, Badgley -- who spent time with both the Lions and Bears last year -- has quickly resurfaced and now appears poised to start the 2023 season as the Titans' kicker. Meanwhile, Caleb Shudak and Trey Wolff, who had been competing for the assignment, have been waived by Tennessee.

Myers hit two of three field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Saturday's 22-14 preseason win over the Cowboys.

Myers was perfect in the first preseason game with three extra points and a 35-yard field goal. He subsequently hit a 36-yarder and a 57-yarder on Saturday before missing a 43-yarder wide left in the closing minutes. The 32-year-old is coming off a fantastic season where he hit 34 of 37 field-goal tries (92 percent) and 41 of 42 extra-point attempts (98 percent), and he was rewarded with a new four-year contract in January.

Tampa Bay waived Rodrigo Blankenship on Monday, leaving McLaughlin as the team's only kicker, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

McLaughlin and Blankenship had been competing to succeed Ryan Succop, who the Bucs let go in March. Assuming no other kickers are brought in by the team, McLaughlin is slated to handle the Week 1 assignment, with his fantasy upside this coming season tied to how the team's offense fares while being helmed by either Baker Mayfield or Kyle Trask.
