The Panthers signed Wright to their practice squad Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Carolina is bringing in a kicker after current option Eddy Pineiro was unable to play this past Sunday at Jacksonville due to a tight hamstring that he suffered during pregame warmups. Wright spent most of August with the Panthers before getting cut as a part of roster reduction after the preseason, and since then he's spent time on the 49ers', Falcons' and Patriots' practice squads. If the team ends up needing his services Sunday against the Buccaneers, it'll mark his first action of the campaign after he connected on 15 of 18 field-goal attempts and all 15 point-after tries in six appearances between the Steelers and Chiefs last season.

Bass made both of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point kicks in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Patriots.

It's never easy kicking in Buffalo in December, but the weather has actually been fairly tame over the past two home games and Bass has delivered as he's known to do. Bass still hasn't missed a kick since Week 12, and he's now posted 118 points on the season, working his way up to a tie for 11th in kicker scoring. The Buffalo offense will not be resting any key players in what could be a do-or-die situation (or at least a key game for the divisional title and the AFC's No. 2 seed) when the Bills travel to Miami for a Week 18 primetime showdown.

Koo made one of three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Bears.

Koo's 50-yard field-goal attempt was short to end the first drive of the game, and he's now missed three straight from 50 or farther after starting the year 3-for-3 on such kicks. He also hit the left upright with a 42-yard attempt to end the Falcons' second offensive drive. Before that miss, Koo was 10-for-11 on attempts between 40 and 49 yards out. Koo made his final three kicks, including a 38-yard field goal, to somewhat salvage the performance. Koo's struggles on Sunday could be attributed to the weather, as snow flurries and strong wind were certainly factors in Chicago, but he's been inconsistent over the last four weeks, going just 7-for-11 on field-goal attempts during that stretch, which is boosted by a 5-for-5 outing in Week 16.

Tucker converted all eight of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 56-19 victory over the Dolphins.

It was a prolific day for the Ravens offense and a busy day for Tucker as he set a new season-high for XPA. He converted each attempt, bringing him to 50-for-51 on extra points this season. Tucker ranks second in fantasy points among kickers entering Week 18, trailing only Dallas' Brandon Aubrey. The Ravens host the Steelers to close out the regular season.

Dicker converted three of his four field-goal attempts in the 16-9 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Dicker's 50-yard field goal in the fourth quarter was blocked, ending what had been a perfect field-goal stretch dating back to Week 3. The emergence of the second-year kicker as a bona fide ace in the hole has been one of the few positive marks for a 5-11 Chargers team devoid of much success. He'll have a chance to solidify his position as one of the most accurate kickers in the league next week.

Lutz made three of four field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.

Lutz connected on field goals from 20, 32 and 43 yards out Sunday, while his only miss came on a 48-yard attempt in the final moments of the first half. The veteran kicker has now missed one kick in two straight games. Even so, Lutz boasts a solid 88 percent field-goal percentage on the season, a significant improvement over the 74 percent mark he hit in 2022 with the Saints. The 29-year-old will look to finish off his 2023 campaign with another strong performance when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 18.

Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and two extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts.

Carlson nailed a pair of field goals in back-to-back road games the last two weeks in Kansas City and Indianapolis, as the Raiders now return home for their regular-season finale against the Broncos.

McLaughlin did not attempt any field goals and made his only extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 23-13 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

After multiple productive games, McLaughlin was a victim of the Buccaneers' especially poor offensive performance, one that saw them fail to put any points on the board until the fourth quarter. McLaughlin's single point on the afternoon was his lowest output of the season and snapped an eight-game streak of multiple PATs. However, the veteran kicker should have a much better chance at a productive performance in a Week 18 road matchup against the Panthers that shapes up as a must-win game for Tampa Bay.

Elliott made one field goal and four extra points in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Cardinals.

The Eagles put up plenty of points Sunday, unlike they had in their previous three December defeats, but Elliott wasn't asked to attempt anything other than an extra point until his go-ahead 43-yarder with 2:33 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Philadelphia defense failed to hold onto the lead, however, consigning the team to its fourth defeat in five games.

McManus converted all four field-goal attempts and both PATs during Sunday's 26-0 win over Carolina.

Backup quarterback C.J. Beathard had trouble finishing drives for the Jags, leading to four field goals within 40 yards for McManus. The short makes end a streak of three games without a field goal for McManus, who is now 28-for-35 on the season and is perfect on 33 PATs.
