News

  • Activated from COVID-19 list

    The Raiders activated Wright (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

    Analysis: Wright landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after testing positive for the virus, but he'll now be able to rejoin the team. He should be available for Sunday's Week 17 matchup against Indianapolis.

  • Placed on COVID list

    Wright (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after testing positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Wright and fellow linebackers Denzel Perryman, Cory Littleton and Patrick Onwuasor all tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday. The Raiders' linebacking corps will have its depth tested if none of them are able to clear the health and safety protocols in time to play Week 17.

  • Role change for Monday

    Wright will start at middle linebacker for the Raiders on Monday against the Cleveland, Steve Wyche of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: With Will Compton being ruled out Monday due to personal reasons and Denzel Perryman already confirmed to be unavailable with an ankle injury, Wright will shift from his usual role of starting strong-side linebacker to the middle. Patrick Onwuasor is the most likely candidate to start on the strong side for the Raiders on Monday against Cleveland.

  • Heading to Vegas

    Wright signed a one-year deal with the Raiders on Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker went all offseason without finding a new team, but he reached a deal with Las Vegas with Week 1 less than two weeks away. Wright spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the Seahawks and finished 2020 with 86 tackles (60 solo), two sacks, an interception and a forced fumble in 16 games. He'll bolster the Raiders' linebacking corps after Nicholas Morrow (ankle) was placed on injured reserve.

  • Sees dip in tackling numbers

    Wright recorded 86 tackles, two sacks, 10 pass breakups and an interception over 16 games during the 2020 season.

    Analysis: In the final year of his contract, Wright endured a severe dip in his tackling numbers after posting a career-high 132 stops in 2019. However, he reached double-digit pass breakups for a second straight season, and he notched a sack for the first time since 2016. After 10 years in Seattle, it's unclear if Wright will be back in 2021. The arrival of 2020 first-round pick Jordyn Brooks works against Wright, but the Seahawks would need to bring in another linebacker via free agency or the draft if…read more

  • Good to go for Thursday's game

    Wright (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR reports.

    Analysis: Wright played through this injury last week and saw the field on 97 percent of defensive snaps. He recorded seven tackles in the first meeting against the NFC West rival Cardinals in Week 7 and will look to top that mark in the rematch.

  • Limited to begin week

    Wright (ankle) was a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Wright was able to battle through an ankle sprain in this past Sunday's loss to the Rams, as he played 97 percent of the snaps on defense and logged six tackles (five solo). He avoided a setback, too, and he'll take it easy in practice this week but should be fine for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

  • Able to rebound for Week 10

    Wright (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Rams.

    Analysis: The one-time Pro Bowl linebacker seemed to have a bleak outlook for this NFC West showdown late in the practice week, sitting out both Wednesday and Thursday because of his recent ankle injury. Coach Pete Carroll remained optimistic, however, indicating the veteran still had a chance to go against Los Angeles despite a curtailed practice workload. Wright, in fact, has powered through the issue, and he will make his ninth start of the season against a Rams team that ranks No. 6 in the NFL in…read more

  • Trending in right direction

    Wright (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Wright sat out of practice Wednesday and Thursday, but coach Pete Carroll believes there's a "really good chance" the veteran linebacker suits up Sunday, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. That's an encouraging sign, but he'll likely be monitored over the weekend because the Seahawks likely won't take any risks with a Thursday night game against Arizona around the corner. If Wright's health takes a turn and he's forced to sit out, Cody Barton would be next up at strong-side…read more

  • Listed as non-participant Wednesday

    Wright (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Despite coach Pete Carroll saying earlier in the week that Wright "bounced back well" from an ankle sprain he suffered against the Bills, the veteran linebacker was listed as DNP on Wednesday's report. He's trending in the wrong direction to start the week, but a return to the practice field by Friday would be a step in the right direction. Cody Barton is on standby and will start at strong-side linebacker if Wright is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Rams.

  • Injury downplayed

    Coach Pete Carroll said Wright (ankle) bounced back well during Monday's practice after suffering an ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Bills, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: This is encouraging news for Wright's chances to play this week against the Rams. Wright has been excellent for the Seahawks this season, producing 42 tackles, a sack, six pass breakups and an interception through eight games. We'll have a better idea of Wright's status when the team releases its first injury report of the week Wednesday. Cody Barton is expected to start at strong-side linebacker if Wright misses any time.

  • Suffers sprained ankle

    Wright exited Sunday's loss to the Bills with a sprained ankle, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Wright finished the game with two tackles and a sack, and he left in the second half. Coach Pete Carroll didn't have an update on the severity of Wright's injury, so we may need to wait until practices start Wednesday to get clarity on his condition. If Wright's forced to miss any time, Cody Barton likely would take over as the starting strong-side linebacker.

  • Records INT in win

    Wright recorded three tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 27-26 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Wright excelled in coverage yet again, reeling in his first interception of the season and setting up the Seahawks to score on the next play. The veteran linebacker also iced the game by recovering a Kirk Cousins fumble at the end of the fourth quarter. The tackle count has been a bit flaky this year with three games of four or fewer stops and two games of eight or more, but he's finding other ways to pad his stats.

  • Back to work Thursday

    Wright (illness) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wright missed practice Wednesday with a non-COVID-19 related illness, and as evidenced by this news, he's shaken the ailment off. With Dalvin Cook and the Vikings coming to town Sunday, Wright will be leaned upon heavily now that he's healthy.

  • Unable to practice Wednesday

    Wright (illness) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: There's no indication that this is related to COVID-19, but it's worth monitoring nonetheless. Wright was fantastic in Week 4 against the Dolphins, stopping screen passes behind the line of scrimmage and breaking up three passes. With Dalvin Cook and the Vikings coming to town Sunday, Wright will be critical in shutting down check-down passes and a commanding run offense.

  • Outstanding in Week 4 win

    Wright recorded eight tackles, three pass breakups and a forced fumble in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Wright put together his best game of the season, consistently sniffing out screen passes and nearly intercepting a pass in the first half. The 31-year-old linebacker has stepped up admirably with a good chunk of the secondary, including Jamal Adams (groin), out of the lineup, and with 17 tackles over the last two contests, he's a solid IDP play as well.

  • Hits double-digit tackles Sunday

    Wright made 10 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: After handling limited workloads over the first two games of the season, Wright played every snap against the Cowboys and predictably made a major impact. With Bruce Irvin (torn ACL) out for the season and Jordyn Brooks (knee) expected to miss time, Wright has virtually no competition for reps at outside linebacker moving forward. Coming off a career-high 132 stops in 2019, Wright is a solid IDP play in Week 4 against the Dolphins

  • Gains medical clearance

    Wright (shoulder) passed his physical and participated during Wednesday's practice, John Clayton of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Wright had offseason surgery on his shoulder, but he looks like he's on track to be ready to go for the Seahawks' Week 1 game against the Falcons. The veteran linebacker is once again expected to handle a significant, every-down role on defense after playing 93 percent of the snaps in 2019 and logging 132 tackles, 11 pass breakups and three interceptions -- all career-high totals. Even though the 31-year-old appears fully healthy, expect the team to monitor Wright's workload carefully in…read more

  • On track for Week 1

    Wright (shoulder) said Thursday that he's ahead of schedule in his recovery from offseason surgery and expects to be fully healthy for Week 1, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Wright handled 93 percent of snaps on defense for the Seahawks last season while starting a full 16-game slate. If he's indeed able to make a full recovery in time to kick off the 2020 campaign, he'll once again serve as a pillar of the team's linebacker corps. Coming off a career-high year in terms of tackles (132 total) and defended passes (11), Wright should once again be a valuable IDP asset entering his age-31 season.

  • Recovering from shoulder surgery

    Wright is recovering from recent surgery on his shoulder, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The procedure isn't considered serious and probably didn't play any role in the Seahawks using a first-round pick on Texas Tech linebacker Jordyn Brooks. However, the new addition does cast doubt on Wright's future with the team as he enters his age-31 season in the final year of a two-year, $14 million contract. Wright played 93 percent of the team's defensive snaps as a 16-game starter last year, finishing with career highs for tackles (132), pass defenses (11) and interceptions (three). In…read more

  • Recovering from surgery

    General manager John Schneider said Thursday that Wright underwent surgery this offseason and is focusing on rehab, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: The nature of Wright's procedure remains undisclosed, though Schneider did say that it wasn't a serious surgery, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Wright is coming off a 2019 campaign in which he notched a career-best 132 tackles, 11 passes defensed and three interceptions. Barring any setbacks in his recovery, he stands to once again play a starting role in Seattle's linebacker corps for the 2020 season.

  • Reaches career highs in 2019

    Wright, who made 12 tackles and 1.5 sacks over two playoff games, finished with 132 tackles, 11 pass breakups and three interceptions over 16 regular-season contests in 2019.

    Analysis: This was essentially a contract year for Wright, as he carries a $10 million cap hit in 2020 but only $2.5 million if he's cut before the new league year begins in March. The 30-year-old answered the bell with career highs in tackles, pass breakups and interceptions.

  • Stacks up 13 stops

    Wright made 13 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old linebacker continues to have a career year, as he's tied his career highs in tackles (126) and pass breakups (10) through 15 games. It's important that Wright performs well this year, too, as he's on the books for $8.5 million next season but carries a much more modest $2.5 million dead cap hit if he's cut before the new league year starts in March.

  • Snags two picks

    Wright recorded four tackles (two solo), two pass breakups and two interceptions in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Wright dislocated his finger in last week's game, but the veteran linebacker looked unbothered, setting new career highs for pass breakups (10) and interceptions (three) this year. The 30-year-old seemingly played more in coverage since Mychael Kendricks (hamstring) was out, but if Kendricks returns to the lineup, Wright could be back in a high-tackling role Week 16 against the Cardinals.

  • Absent from injury report

    Wright (finger) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Despite dislocating his finger in Week 14's loss to the Rams, Wright won't miss a beat. It's possible the veteran linebacker wears extra protection on his finger going forward, but there's no indication he'll fall out of his typical every-down role. Wright continues to be a valuable IDP asset, as he's second on the team with 109 tackles while already reaching a new career high of eight pass breakups.

  • Nursing dislocated finger

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Wright "should be fine" after dislocating a finger during Week 14's loss to the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Wright doesn't appear to be in danger of missing any time due to his finger injury. He toughed through the issue during Sunday's divisional loss, during which he played 65 snaps on defense (93 percent) and notched five tackles (four solo). Though the veteran linebacker looks on track to suit up against the Panthers in Week 15, his level of activity in practice will be worth monitoring.

  • Registers nine stops

    Wright tallied nine tackles (six solo) and a pass breakup in Monday's 37-30 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Wright battled knee and shoulder injuries during the week leading up to this contest, but he shook them off and showed no ill effects by logging 54 of 55 defensive snaps. The 30-year-old linebacker has now achieved 100 tackles for the fifth time in six seasons, and he's notched a career-high eight pass breakups.

  • Logs full practice

    Wright (shoulder/knee) was a full participant at Friday's practice.

    Analysis: Following a limited workload Thursday, Wright was back as a full participant. He appears on track to play Monday against the Vikings, while Ben Burr-Kirven would be in line to replace him at outside linebacker should he suffer any setbacks.

  • Limited Thursday

    Wright (shoulder/knee) put in a limited practice Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Wright dealt with the shoulder issue last week but ultimately played. The knee problem is new, however. Still, assuming the 30-year-old does not have a setback, he'll most likely suit up Monday night against Minnesota.

  • Closing in on 100 stops

    Wright tallied 12 tackles -- one for a loss -- in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Wright dealt with a shoulder issue during the preceding week, but he showed no signs of weakness in this contest. The 30-year-old linebacker paced the Seahawks in stops, and he now has 95 this season, ensuring he'll hit the 100-tackle milestone for the fifth time in six seasons as long as he stays healthy.

  • Will play vs. Eagles

    Wright (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wright picked up a shoulder injury this week but didn't miss a practice and is good to go for Sunday. The 30-year-old has been a valuable IDP option this season with 83 tackles (41 solo) and one interception in 10 games.

  • Picks up shoulder issue

    Wright (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: This is a new injury for Wright, who has battled a knee injury at points this year but hasn't missed any time. The veteran linebacker doesn't appear to be in jeopardy of sitting out Sunday against the Eagles, but it's worth monitoring his practice status. Wright is a premier IDP option, as he's racked up 83 tackles and seven pass breakups through 10 contests.

  • Full go Friday

    Wright (knee) was a full participant at Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wright is therefore on track to suit up Monday in a key divisional game against the 49ers, barring a setback. San Francisco has averaged an impressive 171 rush yards per game this season, good for second in the NFL. Wright and the rest of Seattle's defense will look to halt that trend in Week 10.

  • Dealing with knee issue

    Wright (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wright missed 11 games last year due to a knee injury, but he hasn't showed any issues this year by consistently logging over 90 percent of the defensive snaps. His practice status leading up to Monday's tilt against the 49ers is worth monitoring since the 30-year-old is a valuable IDP asset, ranking fourth in the league with 78 tackles through nine games (8.8 average).

  • Stacks up stops

    Wright recorded 10 tackles (six solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: This is Wright's fourth double-digit tackling performance of the year, and he ranks fourth in the league with 78 stops over nine games. Teammate Bobby Wagner ranks a spot ahead of him with 86 tackles, and both are top-tier IDP assets. Specifically, Wright has notched at least seven tackles in every contest since Week 1.
