Wright (hip) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wright has sat out of both of Detroit's last two games due to a hip injury, and now he's missing the first practice of the new week. He'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance to play in Week 18.

Wright (hip) is listed as out for Saturday's game at Dallas, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The game status is not surprising considering Wright was not able to practice at all during the week. In his absence, 2022 fifth-rounder James Mitchell will probably get more work on early downs and near the goal line.

Wright (hip) was listed as a non-participant on the Lions' practice estimate Tuesday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright is apparently still being bothered by the hip issue he picked up in Week 15 versus the Broncos. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Wednesday or Thursday to give himself a chance to suit up in Week 17.

Wright (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Wright seems to have suffered a hip injury in the Lions' Week 15 win over the Broncos, and after missing the entire week of practice, it's no surprise that he's been ruled out Sunday. James Mitchell will get the opportunity to serve as Detroit's No. 2 tight end with Wright missing Week 16.

Wright (hip) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Wright has been a spectator for both of the Lions' first two Week 16 practices, so he'll likely need to log some on-field reps Friday to have a shot at playing Sunday in Minnesota. If Wright is sidelined this weekend, James Mitchell would step in as the top backup to starting tight end Sam LaPorta.

Wright (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wright departed in the first half of Saturday's game versus Denver with what was called a groin injury at the time, though Detroit is now labeling the concern a hip issue. The tight end regularly logs 30-to-60 percent of the Lions' offensive snaps, but his contributions in the team's passing game have been very limited behind standout rookie Sam LaPorta. Wright's status is up in the air for Sunday's contest against Minnesota, and if he's unavailable, James Mitchell could see more work, though he'd be unlikely to have a significant presence in the box score.

Wright exited Saturday's game against the Broncos with a groin injury and is questionable to return.

EDGE Analysis

Wright suffered the injury in the first half of the game and was not targeted prior to his exit. The severity of the issue is currently unclear.

Wright played 24 of 65 snaps on offense and recorded two catches for six yards on two targets in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Though rookie Sam LaPorta has established himself as the Lions' clear top tight end this season while playing in all 13 games, Wright has been able to carve out a decent-sized role as the No. 2 option at the position. He's played no fewer than 30 percent of the snaps on offense in any of his 13 appearances and has drawn at least one target in seven of his last nine outings.

Wright secured three of three targets for 16 yards during Sunday's win over Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

The blocking-proficient Wright has easily seen his highest snap counts of the season over the past two games with Detroit leaning heavily on the run. However, these were the first targets he has seen since Week 1, and Wright won't be needed for much more in the receiving department as long as Sam LaPorta is available to play.

Wright was not targeted with a pass during Thursday's 34-20 win over Green Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Wright logged over half of the offensive snaps, but the Notre Dame product has not been targeted in three games since his two-reception performance in Week 1. Meanwhile, rookie Sam LaPorta has exceeded all expectations as the Lions' top pass-catching tight end. As long as LaPorta is healthy, there probably won't be any need for Wright to catch passes on a regular basis.
