The Lions placed Wright (neck) on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wright joins fellow TE Sam LaPorta (back) on IR, meaning the former will miss at least the next four games. With all of Wright, LaPorta and Shane Zylstra (knee), the latter of whom was designated for return from IR this week but ruled out for Week 14 action, sidelined, Detroit's group of available tight ends Thursday against the Cowboys includes Ross Dwelley, Anthony Firkser and Hayden Rucci.

Wright (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Wright now will miss a second consecutive contest due to a tracheal injury that may result in an extended absence, as coach Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press on Sunday. With Sam LaPorta (back) potentially out for the season, the Lions will lean on Ross Dwelley, Anthony Firkser and Hayden Rucci at TE in Week 14. Wright's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Dec. 14 at the Rams.

Wright (neck) didn't practice Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Detroit has listed Wright as a non-participant on both of its first two Week 14 practice reports, a development that comes as little surprise after head coach Dan Campbell said Sunday that the tight end was dealing with an injury to his trachea that could result in a long-term absence, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. For now, the Lions are evaluating Wright's status on a game-by-game basis, and at this point, he seems likely to miss Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Wright (neck) did not practice Monday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright missed last Thursday's loss to the Packers, and it sounds like he could miss an extended period of time due to a tracheal injury. With both Sam LaPorta (back) and Wright sidelined against Green Bay, Ross Dwelley played 75 percent of the snaps, while Anthony Firkser was in on 24 percent of the downs. Neither made an impact in the box score, combining for a 2-7-0 line on four targets.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said Sunday that Wright is dealing with an injury to his trachea and could be in for with a long-term absence, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Pressreports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright didn't play Thursday against Green Bay, and it sounds like he could be sidelined awhile. Sam LaPorta (back) is expected to miss the rest of the season, so Ross Dwelley and Anthony Firkser will be the Lions' top two tight ends should Wright indeed be in for further absences. Campbell also indicated that Wright is undergoing further scans, so his timeline for a potential return remains uncertain.

Wright (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Packers, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright was held out of all three walkthroughs during Week 13 prep and thus will miss his first game of the season due to a neck injury. With Sam LaPorta (back) on injured reserve and unlikely to play again this season, Ross Dwelley will be the primary beneficiary among Lions tight ends Thursday, while Anthony Firkser and Zach Horton are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad. Wright's next chance for game action is next Thursday, Dec. 4 versus the Cowboys.

Wright (neck) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

EDGE Analysis

With Sam LaPorta recently going down with a back injury and unlikely to play again this season after undergoing surgery, Wright has stepped in as the Lions' No. 1 tight end the past two weeks. He's played more than 80 percent of the snaps in each of those contests and has produced a 5-37-0 receiving line on 11 targets, but his health is now in question after he emerged from this past Sunday's win over the Giants with a neck issue. If Wright isn't able to play through the neck injury in Thursday's game against the Packers, Ross Dwelley would be the next man up at tight end, and at least one of Anthony Firkser and Zach Horton would be in line for a promotion from the practice squad.

Wright (neck) listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

EDGE Analysis

Wright played 88 percent of offensive snaps during Detroit's overtime win over the Giants in Week 12, securing three of four targets for 29 yards, but his status for Thursday's matchup against the Packers now appears uncertain due to a neck injury. It's possible the Lions are simply being cautious with Wright's health on a short week, given his position as the team's de facto starting tight end with Sam LaPorta (back) looking unlikely to return this season. Wright will have two more chances to get on the practice field ahead of Thursday's primetime divisional matchup.

Wright caught three of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 34-27 overtime win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

With Sam LaPorta (back) looking unlikely to return this season, Wright is the top pass-catching option among Detroit's healthy tight ends, but Sunday's volume doesn't suggest he's going to have a consistent role in the offense. Over two games since LaPorta went down, Wright has managed just a 5-37-0 line on 11 targets. He'll likely need a touchdown to make much of a fantasy impact in Week 13 during a Thanksgiving clash with the Packers.

Wright (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wright was limited during Wednesday's walkthrough session, but he's now ready to rock for Week 12. He drew seven targets (two catches) during Detroit's loss to Philadelphia in Week 11 and will get another chance to start at tight end Sunday versus the Giants with Sam LaPorta (back) still on IR.
