Adds another takeaway
Wright recorded one tackle and one interception in the Bears' 19-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Wright has four or fewer tackles in four of his last five contests and now has four interceptions this season, including three over his last five. He remains a moderate-floor IDP with interception-driven upside.

Recovers fumble in Week 10 win
Wright posted three solo tackles, two pass defenses and a fumble recovery during the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Wright fumbled on a Jaxson Dart fumble late in the third quarter, and the Bears were able to convert on the turnover with a Cairo Santos 22-yard field goal eight plays later. Wright has recorded an interception or a fumble recovery in four of his last five games and is up to 42 combined tackles through nine regular-season games.
Nov 2, 2025
Intercepts pass in win
Wright collected four tackles (two solo) and intercepted one pass for a six-yard return in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Wright has recorded a takeaway in two of his last three games and continues to see significant outside-corner snaps. His fantasy value hinges on turnover production, making him a matchup-based IDP play.
Oct 26, 2025
Nine tackles in defeat
Wright recorded nine tackles in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Wright set a new high-water mark with nine stops one week after posting two tackles and an interception in Week 7. The cornerback's production has been volatile all season, and the low-floor games he's prone to have make him a risky IDP.

Practices in full
Wright (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Wright was limited in practice Wednesday, but he's already put his hip injury behind him. He can be considered on track to handle his usual starting role at cornerback on the road against the Ravens on Sunday. Across six regular-season appearances, Wright has already racked up career-high marks across the board, with 26 total tackles (19 solo), four pass breakups (including two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown), plus one fumble recovery.

Managing hip issue
Wright (hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Wright intercepted a pass and played all but one defensive snap this past Sunday against the Saints, but he appears to have hurt his hip during the victory. Given that the cornerback was able to practice in limited fashion Wednesday, though, he may not be dealing with a major injury. Wright will likely enter the weekend without an injury designation if he's able to bump up to full practice participation by Friday.
Oct 19, 2025
Picks off pass in victory
Wright posted two tackles and intercepted a pass in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Wright's interception marked his second of the season and his two tackles was the first time he fell below four stops in four games. He remains an IDP bench option with occasional upside.
Oct 1, 2025
Four tackles in win
Wright recorded four tackles (four solo) in the Bears' win over the Raiders on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With Jaylon Johnson (groin) missing most of the first four games of the season and looking at an extended absence, Wright has been serving as an every-down cornerback on the outside for Chicago. Through four games, he has 19 tackles (13 solo) and one pass breakup, including a pick-six interception.
Sep 22, 2025
Strong tackle total in victory
Wright tallied nine stops in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With Jalyon Johnson (groin) on injured reserve, Wright moved into a starting role and immediately had a dominant IDP performance. When Chicago plays pass-heavy opponents, Wright could be a strong fantasy option.

Lands in Windy City
The Bears signed Wright to a one-year contract Tuesday, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wright appeared in one game for Minnesota last season, in which he played 15 snaps on special teams and saw no work on defense. The 2021 third-round pick likewise contributed more on special teams than defense during his three years with Dallas, priming him to now compete for a similar role in Chicago.
Apr 7, 2025
Let go by Minnesota
The Vikings released Wright on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Minnesota traded for Wright last August in a deal with Dallas for Andrew Booth. Wright ended up playing in just one game for the Vikings, logging 15 snaps on special teams and none on defense. He played more on special teams than on defense during his three years with the Cowboys as well and would likely be asked to accept a similar role if he lands with another organization.
Aug 9, 2024
Sent to North Star State
Dallas traded Wright to the Vikings in exchange for Andrew Booth, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wright will join Minnesota after spending the first three years of his NFL career with the Cowboys. The 6-foot-4 cornerback will join the Vikings as likely the backup to Shaquill Griffin but may see more opportunities in the preseason with Griffin battling a leg injury as of late.
Oct 16, 2023
Activated off injured reserve
The Cowboys activated Wright (ankle) from injured reserve Monday.
ANALYSIS
Wright will be in line to make his 2023 debut Monday night against the Chargers. The 2021 third-rounder appeared in 20 games over his first two seasons, making three starts. Wright has one career interception and four pass breakups.
Oct 14, 2023
No injury status for Week 6
Wright (ankle) was a full participant in practice this week and could be activated for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wright was competing for a depth secondary spot in training camp, but he was placed on IR ahead of the 53-man roster deadline after sustaining an ankle injury. If he's activated for Week 6, he could see a large role right out the gate with Trevon Diggs (knee) out for the season and C.J. Goodwin (pectoral) ruled out of Sunday's contest. Wright posted 23 tackles (17 solo), four pass deflections and an interception in seven games last season.
Oct 12, 2023
Designated to return
Wright (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Wright was placed on IR in late August after suffering an ankle injury, and it seems as if he's recovered enough to start practicing again. The 25-year-old corner has a chance to play during Dallas' Week 6 contest against the Chargers if he's activated from IR before Monday. Once Wright is activated, expect him to play a rotational role in the Cowboys' secondary.
Aug 30, 2023
Starts season on IR
Dallas placed Wright (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wright was placed on IR after Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline, so he's eligible to return after sitting out a minimum of four games. The severity of Wright's injury remains unclear, but when he's available, he'll compete for a depth role in Dallas' secondary.
Jan 2, 2023
Nine tackles, INT in win
Wright recorded nine tackles (six solo) while recording an interception and two pass deflections in Thursday's 27-13 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Wright led the team in tackles Thursday, registering a season-high nine stops in the victory. He was also able to snag his first interception of the campaign, picking off Joshua Dobbs late in the fourth quarter. On the campaign, Wright has compiled 22 tackles, four pass deflections and an interception over six contests.
Dec 13, 2021
Activated off COVID-19 list
Wright was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Wright missed two games after testing positive for the virus, but he has been removed from protocols and will rejoin the team ahead of Week 15. He's only played four defensive snaps all season, so his return shouldn't impact the Cowboys' defensive gameplan.
Nov 30, 2021
Placed on COVID-19 list
Dallas placed Wright on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Nick Eatman of the Cowboys' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Wright tested positive for the virus and will likely be sidelined for Thursday's contest against the Saints. The rookie cornerback has mostly played special teams this season, so if he is unavailable it shouldn't have an impact on Dallas' defensive rotations.
Nov 22, 2021
Practices in full Monday
Wright (hamstring) logged a full practice Monday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wright missed the Cowboys' Week 11 loss against Kansas City, but getting in a full practice is a good sign for his availability Thursday. The third-round rookie has primarily contributed on special teams this season.
Jun 12, 2021
Impressing so far this offseason
Wright made a big impression during OTAs and minicamp, Rob Phillips of DallasCowboys.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The third-round pick in this year's draft racked up deflections and interceptions thanks to his 6-4 frame and huge wingspan, and coach Mike McCarthy was very pleased with how quickly Wright sponged up the playbook. The rookie's length is a great fit for new defensive coordinator Dan Quinn's scheme, and with the Cowboys looking to replace a lot of snaps from last year's secondary, the path is clear for Wright to handle a significant role right out of the gate if he shows he's ready in training camp.
