Wright has been working with the first-team offense while Laquon Treadwell has been sidelined with a thigh injury, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright caught a career-low 11 passes last season and languished on the bench. He's in a battle for the third receiver role with Treadwell. However, neither player may hold the role for long once Michael Floyd returns from a four-game suspension.

Wright had five receptions for 24 yards on seven targets in Sunday's win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Wright languished on the bench nearly all season but got some unexpected work in the season finale. He finished the season with just 11 receptions for 67 yards and one touchdown. He missed the first four games in part due to a hamstring injury, but he was buried on the depth chart as he even fell behind little-used rookie Laquon Treadwell. Wright is signed trough 2019 and the Vikings would lose over $2 million in dead money if they cut him, so he may return next season. However, his role in the offense is very uncertain.

Wright played five snaps on offense but was not targeted in Thursday's loss at Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Wright looks buried on the depth chart as both Charles Johnson (22) and Laquon Treadwell (34) got more playing time with Stefon Diggs out.

Wright is active for Thursday's game against Detroit, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright could see a larger role with Stefon Diggs out with a knee injury. However, it's not clear if Treadwell or Wright would get the bulk of targets as the third receiver, though Wright is likely fourth on the depth chart since Treadwell has seen more action in recent weeks.

Wright had one reception for nine yards on his only target in Sunday's loss at Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Wright played just four snaps on offense as he had a limited role. He was only active with Laquon Treadwell out with a hamstring injury. He may return to the bench when Treadwell is healthy.

Wright (coach's decision) will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has dealt with an ankle injury over the past few weeks, but appears to have returned to full health despite being ruled as a healthy scratch in Week 9. Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen will be the top two options at wide receiver for the Vikings once again.

Wright (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
He missed Monday's game with the injury. However, it's not clear he'll have much of a role Sunday with Minnesota's top three receivers all healthy.

Wright (ankle) is inactive for Monday's tilt against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Cordarrelle Patterson's ability to emerge from the concussion protocol likely made the decision to hold out Wright an easy one. On the season, Wright has managed just four catches for 32 yards in two appearances, ensuring his status as a fantasy non-entity.

Wright (ankle) is questionable for Monday's tilt against the Bears, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was limited in practice all week after sitting out last Sunday's game against the Eagles. Likely the No. 5 option at wideout, the offense won't be impacted greatly if Wright is held out once again.

WR FA
Wright (ankle) is inactive Sunday against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Wright came out of the Vikings' bye week with an ankle injury and was limited in practice throughout the week. Consequently, Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, Cordarrelle Patterson and Charles Johnson will be the only active wide receivers for QB Sam Bradford.
