The Bears announced Saturday that Wright (illness) has been added to the injury report and is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright appears to have contracted an illness Saturday, making his status up in the air for Week 17. Official word on the starting right tackle's availability, or lack thereof, will arrive no later than 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Theo Benedet will likely have to operate as one of Chicago's starting tackles if Wright is unable to play.

Wright (elbow) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was a full participant in Saturday's practice, which was enough for the Bears to clear Wright to play Monday after he was sidelined for Chicago's Week 4 win over Las Vegas. He'll reclaim his starting job at right tackle while Theo Benedet and rookie second-rounder Ozzy Trapilo provide depth at the position.

Wright (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
With Wright out, either Theo Benedet or rookie Ozzy Trapilo figures to draw the start at right tackle for Chicago. Wright will have next week's bye to heal up ahead of a Week 6 game at Washington.

Head coach Ben Johnson told reporters that Wright injured his elbow during Sunday's 31-14 win over the Cowboys, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Johnson relayed the injury isn't a long-term concern, Wright's practice participation over the coming week will determine his availability for the Bears' Week 4 clash against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 28. Theo Benedet and rookie second-rounder Ozzy Trapilo would be candidates to start at right tackle if Wright were to miss time.

Wright (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
The 2023 first-round pick from Tennessee opened the Bears' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, but he upgraded to a full workload Friday, suggesting that he's moved past his knee issue in time for Sunday's divisional matchup. Now that Wright has returned to full health, he's expected to serve as Chicago's top right tackle in Week 11.

Wright (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Wright sustained an MCL sprain in the Bears' Week 9 loss to the Cardinals and didn't practice all week, so it's no surprise he'll miss Sunday's contest. Matt Pryor is expected to start at right tackle while Wright is sidelined in Week 10.
