Matthew Wright dislocated his shoulder on Thursday, but will be cleared to play Week 7

49ers kicker Matthew Wright dislocated his shoulder on the final kickoff of the night Thursday night. He made a tackle on Dee Williams with 1:11 left and left for the X-ray room after taking a direct hit on the shoulder.

Wright underwent an MRI on Friday and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the MRI was negative. Wright’s shoulder went back into its socket.

He will be available to play against the Chiefs next week.

Wright kicked in his first game with the 49ers after Jake Moody injured his ankle tackling Cardinals returner DeeJay Dallas in Week 4.

Wright made field goals of 25, 41 and 35 in the 49ers’ 36-24 win over the Seahawks on Thursday night.
