Wright (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game in Philadelphia
EDGE Analysis
With top wideout Stefon Diggs (groin) logging a full practice Friday in anticipation of a Sunday return, Wright's likely absence won't have much impact on the Minnesota offense. Adam Thielen and Cordarrelle Patterson are the best bets to draw targets behind Diggs.

Wright (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
It's not a good sign that Wright was limited with the injury at the first full practice after a bye week, but there's been no indication he's in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Wright had four receptions for 32 yards on four targets and played 44 snaps on offense in Sunday's win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
It was Wright's first real action of the season after being inactive or not on the field in the first four games. He had the third most snaps among receivers with Stefon Diggs out and had more snaps (12) than Charles Johnson. It looks like Wright could be the team's No. 4 receiver if Diggs returns healthy and Johnson remains minimally involved.

Wright is inactive for Monday's game versus the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The Vikings have shuffled the bottom of the WR depth chart each week this season, and for the second time, Wright has drawn the shorter straw. Meanwhile, rookie Laquon Treadwell will be available for the contest, yet he's still searching for his first target as a pro.

Wright is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was bumped to the inactive list last week as coach Mike Zimmer opted to make rookie Laquon Treadwell available. However, with Treadwell failing to distinguish himself in the win over the Packers, Wright will have an opportunity to get back on the field while serving as the Vikings' No. 5 wideout. Don't expect Wright to see many looks from quarterback Sam Bradford over the course of the day.

Wright (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to receiving DNPs in the first two games of this season, Wright had been active for 55 consecutive games for the Vikings. The Vikings will have five wideouts at their disposal Sunday.

Wright is inactive for Sunday's game against Tennessee.
EDGE Analysis
Wright is healthy after missing much of the preseason with a calf injury. However, he's fallen down the depth chart and there were reports the Vikings were even trying to trade him. He may be inactive most weeks unless an injury strikes the wide receiving corps.

Wright is listed behind Charles Johnson, Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, Laquon Treadwell and Cordarrelle Patterson on the unofficial Week 1 depth chart
EDGE Analysis
This confirms that Wright has been buried on the depth chart, with Adam Thielen likely taking on slot duties in three-wide formations to start the season. Laquon Treadwell could push for the No. 3 wideout role before long, as starter Stefon Diggs is expected to play a lot of snaps from the slot. Regardless, Wright has been marginalized in the Minnesota offense and may eventually be a candidate for release.

Wright had three receptions for 35 yards on six targets in Thursday's preseason win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Wright showed he's healthy after missing the first two preseason games with a sore hamstring. However, his spot on the depth chart remains unclear as Adam Thielen and perhaps Laquon Tredwell may be ahead of him as the regular season begins.

Wright (calf) caught his lone target for a 26-yard gain in Sunday's preseason game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright proved his health and made the most of his lone target, but it was still a discouraging night for the fifth-year wideout, as he didn't get a single snap while Teddy Bridgewater was still in the game, according to Pro Football Focus. With Laquon Tredwell and Adam Thielen potentially both jumping Wright on Minnesota's depth chart, the veteran slot specialist may fall back to the No. 5 spot. The Vikings will likely keep six wide receivers, as Cordarrelle Patterson is one of the NFL's premiere kick returners.
