Tennessee Titans add K Matthew Wright to practice squad

[ASFN Admin]

The Tennessee Titans were back on the practice field on Wednesday and watched multiple starters fail to suit up, including kicker Joey Slye.

Fresh off hitting the game-winner against the Arizona Cardinals, the strong-legged kicker sat out Wednesday’s session due to a calf injury on his right leg. To ensure they have a backup kicker on standby if Slye is forced to sit out against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, the Titans moved quickly to bring back a familiar face.

The Titans signed veteran kicker Matthew Wright to the practice squad, making him eligible to be elevated against the Raiders if needed.
