Chiefs get kicker Harrison Butker back, waive last week's hero Matthew Wright

With the return of star kicker Harrison Butker, the Chiefs have waived Matthew Wright, the reigning NFL Special Teams Player of the Week.

DECEMBER 14, 2024 • FOX SPORTS

Let go by KC The Chiefs waived Wright on Saturday.

Impact Wright's departure from Kansas City comes as a corresponding move to Harrison Butker (knee) being activated off injured reserve. Wright filled in for Butker during the final two weeks of the latter's absence and went 8-for-9 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while also converting both his extra-point attempts. Wright's overall success this season -- he also went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries earlier in the campaign in one game with the 49ers -- should make him one of the most desirable options should another organization have a sudden need for a placekicker.
