Wright (coach's decision) will not play Saturday against the Raiders, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Harrison Butker is good to go, making Wright -- who was elevated from the practice squad Friday -- an unneeded luxury Saturday. It's entirely possible the team may have to follow the same cadence next week depending on how Butker's back is feeling after Week 18 action.

The Chiefs elevated Wright from the practice squad Friday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

The fact that Kansas City is using one of its two allotted practice-squad elevations on Wright signals that Harrison Butker (back) -- who is listed as questionable -- may not play Saturday against the Raiders. If Butker is placed on the inactive list ahead of Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff, Wright would step in to handle kicking duties for Kansas City. For fantasy leagues still playing out Week 18 that include a kicker spot, Wright could be worthy of a pickup, given that he'll be tied to one of the NFL's most prolific offenses. Moreover, unlike several teams playing this week, the Chiefs have something to play for, as a win over the Raiders or a Bills loss to the Patriots would lock Kansas City in as the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs.

The Chiefs signed Wright to their practice squad Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

With Harrison Butker currently listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Raiders due to a back issue, Wright will now provide additional kicking depth just in case the latter won't be available in Week 18. The 26-year-old appeared in two games for Kansas City earlier this year, converting three of his four field-goal attempts and all eight extra-point tries in that span. Wright then kicked for Pittsburgh across four games later in the season and went 12-for-14 on field-goal tries and 7-for-7 on extra-point attempts.

The Chiefs brought in Wright for a tryout Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Wright has spent the majority of the season either unsigned or on practice squads, though he's appeared in six games as a fill-in kicker for both Kansas City and Pittsburgh this season. The 26-year-old has been a reliable option, going 15-of-18 on his field-goal attempts while converting all 15 extra-point tries this season. With Chiefs starting kicker Harrison Butker dealing with back spasms, coach Andy Reid said "there's a chance" the team could add an extra kicker ahead of Saturday's regular-season finale versus Las Vegas, according to Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star. Wright's familiarity with the team from when he filled in with Butker out due to an ankle injury for two games should make him a top candidate to serve as the team's potential emergency kicker Week 18.

Butker (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Raiders.

Butker wasn't included on the Chiefs' injury report to begin Week 18 before he was added to the report Wednesday, when a bout with back spasms prevented him from practicing. He took a step in the right direction Thursday by returning to practice as a limited participant, but the Chiefs aren't yet comfortable clearing Butker to play in the regular-season finale. According to Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star, head coach Andy Reid said after Thursday's session that "there's a chance" the team may need to add a kicker to the roster if Butker isn't fit to play Saturday. Kansas City would have to make any roster move by Friday if there's truly any lingering concern about Butker's availability.

Butker (back) was on the practice field Thursday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

The extent of Butker participation is unknown, but his return to the field after dealing with back spasms Wednesday suggests he is making process in his recovery. The team has still yet to bring in another kicker, so it appears they may have some confidence in his ability to suit up Saturday against the Raiders.

Butker didn't practice Wednesday due to back spasms.

Butker wasn't listed on the injury report Tuesday, but his addition Wednesday suddenly clouds his availability for Saturday's game against the Raiders. Kansas City currently doesn't have another kicker on its 53-man roster or practice squad, but Matthew Wright, who saw action with the Chiefs earlier in the season, remains a free agent after being let go by Pittsburgh.

Maher made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Week 17's 27-13 win over the Titans.

Maher converted field goals from 36 and 45 yards, helping him accumulate nine points. His total of 137 points on the season currently leads all kickers with one week remaining.

Tucker connected on both of his field-goal attempts Sunday against the Steelers and converted his lone extra-point attempt.

Tucker had gone through an uncharacteristic stretch in which he missed three total field goals in his previous two games before rounding back into form against the Steelers. He enters the final week of the season with the second-most fantasy points among kickers and is tied for third in the league in made 50-yard attempts with eight such kicks. The Ravens travel to Cincinnati for the regular season finale.

Dicker made all four of his extra-point attempts and his lone field-goal try in the 31-10 win over the Rams.

Dicker continues to be excellent, as he's missed just one kick since taking over as the starter back in Week 9. The undrafted rookie doesn't get many field-goal opportunities, but when he does, he's been relatively automatic, especially from shorter distances.
