Since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2019, 29-year-old kicker Matthew Wright has been signed to the either the active roster or practice squad of 11 different teams in the league. He's the equivalent of a pro football nomad, roaming from one situation to another, often until a team's preferred kicker returns to good health. This is the despite the fact that even with all of the upheaval and uncertainty associated with being this type of player, Wright has hit on 88 percent of his field goals in the NFL.
Against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday afternoon, Wright -- now a Houston Texan, filling in for the injured Ka'imi Fairbairn -- went a perfect 3-for-3 on the afternoon, including a game-winner from 35 yards out to keep the Texans right in the mix for the third and final Wild Card spot in the AFC side of the Playoffs.
