Should be good for Week 7
Wright is expected to serve as the 49ers' placekicker on Sunday, Oct. 20 against the Chiefs after an MRI on his shoulder returned negative Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Wright got hurt while attempting to tackle Seahawks returner Dee Williams on a kickoff late in the fourth quarter of Thursday's 36-24 win. He was spotted getting examined by a member of the 49ers' staff afterward, but the nature of the injury wasn't known until coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to the media Friday, when he told Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com that Wright dislocated his shoulder. Wright likely will focus on rehab versus practice in advance of the Week 7 showdown with the Chiefs, but the 49ers seemingly aren't in the market for a third kicker in three games after Jake Moody suffered a high-ankle sprain Week 5.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
With Matt Prater gone, Wright will compete with veteran Randy Bullock for kicking duties in Detroit this season. With 107 games played for the 31-year-old Bullock compared to four 2020 cameos for the 25-year-old Wright, experience is not on the latter's side. Wright at least took advantage of the limited action he saw with the Steelers last year, making four of four field goal attempts - including two from beyond 40 yards - and all seven of his PATs. In the end, he may be a long shot to prevail, but he does have a chance.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be active in Week 4
Kansas City signed Wright to its practice squad Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
With Harrison Butker sidelined by an ankle injury, Kansas City had turned to Matt Ammendola as their kicker for the last two weeks. However, Ammendola struggled in Week 3 against the Colts, missing a field-goal attempt as well as an extra point. Should Butker not be ready for Week 4, Wright will be activated from the practice squad to serve as the starting kicker. Most recently, Wright played for the Jaguars and made 21 of his 24 field-goal attempts in 2021.
