Wright signed a contract with the Jaguars on Saturday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

It sure seems like Josh Lambo's tenure with the team could be coming to an end, and at least for the immediate future expect Wright to once again handle the primary kicking duties. Wright has attempted just one field goal over the last two weeks as a starter, but he's at least gone 4-for-5 on extra-point attempts over that stretch.

Blankenship (hip) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Blankenship had already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 6 matchup due to a hip injury that he sustained last week, but he'll be forced to miss at least three games. Michael Badgley was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

Elliott missed his only field-goal chance in Thursday's 28-22 loss to the Buccaneers but made both of his extra-point tries.

Elliott had a chance to cut the deficit to 28-17 early in the fourth quarter but pushed the kick wide right. It was just his second miss of the year, but it was disappointing to see him get just one chance after he'd received five over the last two games and made all of them.

Folk (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

With fellow kicker Quinn Nordin (abdomen) on IR, the Patriots would have to bring in outside help in short order should Folk's Week 6 status actually be in doubt. The veteran kicker has previously played through left-knee issues, so Folk should ultimately suit up Sunday, barring a setback.

Badgley will be elevated from the practice squad Sunday against Houston to take the place of Rodrigo Blankenship (hip), JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

Badgley started the season with the Titans but was let go after a poor Week 1 performance in which he missed his lone field-goal attempt and one of two PAT tries. Despite his accuracy issues, Badgley has some upside in this favorable matchup for the Colts offense. If he proves serviceable, Badgley could see more opportunities in the event Blankenship's absence stretches beyond Week 6.

Blankenship (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

With Blankenship unavailable this weekend, fellow kicker Michael Badgley is slated to be promoted from the Colts' practice squad to the team's active roster in advance of Sunday's contest.

Gay (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Gay was a limited participant in the Rams' first practice session of the week due to an ankle issue. However, he is now in line to continue in his regular duties as the team's kicker for a Week 6 matchup against the Giants. Through five games this season, Gay has made 10 of his 11 field-goal attempts and and 15 of his 16 extra-point tries.

Blankenship (hip) was unavailable for Thursday's practice.

The kicker was a non-participant at practice for the second consecutive day after he suffered a hip injury Monday night against the Ravens. The Colts added kicker Michael Badgley to their practice squad on Wednesday in case Blankenship is unable to go Sunday versus the Texans.

Gay was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Gay is tending to a sore ankle, though it wasn't enough to keep him out of practice entirely. The 27-year-old is 10-for-11 on field goals and 15-for-16 on point-after attempts through five games, and the ankle issue isn't expected to affect his availability for the Rams' Week 6 matchup with the Giants.

Blankenship (hip) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

Blankenship's absence from practice comes as little surprise, after head coach Frank Reich said the kicker underwent an MRI on Tuesday after dealing with the hip injury in Monday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Ravens. The Colts tried out some kickers Wednesday and signed Michael Badgley to the practice squad, per Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis. Badgley will presumably be elevated to the 53-man roster by Saturday if the Colts aren't confident Blankenship will be ready to kick Sunday against the Texans.
