The Buffalo Bills have been without Tyler Bass all season.
They've already ruled kicker Matt Prater out for Week 16 against the Browns due to injury, too.
That leaves them looking for a replacement as the season reaches the stretch run.
On Tuesday, they worked out two kickers, according to the NFL's official transaction report: Matthew Wright and Michael Badgley.
Both have already kicked in the NFL this season, although neither is a particularly strong leg. If the Bills sign either of these guys, it increases the likelihood of going for fourth downs in the range that would be 50-yard field goals or longer.
UPDATE: The Bills have signed Badgley to the practice squad. He will then be elevated before gameday.

Prater has a right quad injury and has been termed "week-to-week" by Bills head coach Sean McDermott.
The Bills didn't plan on relying on Prater all season, but with Bass never making his way back from injury, it's been the veteran who has been mostly reliable for Buffalo.
Prater is 18-for-20 on field goals this season, a 90% clip, while making 43-of-46 extra points.

"Not ideal," McDermott told reporters on Monday. "Matt's done a really good job having that consistency during the year. Obviously, T-Bass had the surgery, so he's not an option either. So we'll figure that piece out."
The Bills are close to clinching a playoff berth after their big comeback win over the Patriots last week. Getting this kicker decision right is crucial.
