The Washington Commanders and Kansas City Chiefs have announced their official promotions from their practice squads in anticipation of their Monday Night Football matchup for Week 8. Both teams' moves point to areas of concern.
For the Commanders, the worries begin on special teams. Kicker Matt Gay has been dealing with a back injury and was downgraded to "out" just hours before kickoff on the team's injury report. That's why the team decided to promote Matthew Wright to the active roster in response.
Wright is a familiar face for Chiefs fans with some comfort at Arrowhead Stadium after having filled in for Kansas City in years past when kicker Harrison Butker was out with injury.
