The Colts released Wright (knee) after he failed a physical Tuesday, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

Wright landed on injured reserve with a knee injury before the 2018 season, and he's likely still battling this condition. Once he gets healthy, he'll look for a depth role elsewhere. Since entering the league in 2014, Wright has suited up in 24 games and caught 18 passes for 197 yards and zero touchdowns.

Wright (knee) will sit out Saturday's preseason game against the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright injured his knee in the Colts' preseason opener and has not returned to the field since. Apart from T.Y. Hilton, the competition for wide receiver snaps on the Colts roster is a fairly open race, so Wright will be hoping to get healthy soon in order to establish himself on the depth chart. Look for Zach Pascal and Daurice Fountain to see additional snaps with Wright out.

EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old Wright didn't log any NFL action in 2017 after having accrued 18 receptions for 197 yards across 24 games with the Bengals the preceding two seasons. The 2014 seventh-round pick will try to earn his way back onto an NFL roster with a strong showing for the Colts during training camp.

Wright suffered a bruised lung during Thursday's practice and subsequently missed Friday's scrimmage, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was claimed off waivers by the Browns in March, and with the lack of depth the team has at the wide receiver position, the former Bengal has a legitimate opportunity to make the roster. He will, however, miss at least a few days, as he waits for his bruised lung to heal.

Wright was claimed off Waivers by the Browns on Tuesday, Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was waived by the Bengals on Monday, but did not fall past his old coach Hue jackson and the Bengals. Wright compiled 106 yards on 13 receptions for the Bengals in 2016 across 13 games. He also tallied 11 tackles in his special teams' role. Wright will join a group of young receivers in Cleveland, and will have an opportunity to prove himself in training camp. The team let Terrell Pryor walk in free agency, so outside of Corey Coleman, there is room on the depth chart to earn some playing time.
