Wright caught eight of his nine targets for 133 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-26 win over the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Wright had his coming-out party in his third game since returning from a hamstring injury, highlighted by a 48-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The slot man has worked himself into the conversation for Tennessee's most valuable wide receiver by becoming the first Titans player to eclipse 100 receiving yards in a game this season, but it's tough to trust any of them on a run-first team that usually features tight end Delanie Walker when it does turn to the air.

Wright caught his lone target for nine yards Sunday in Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Wright doesn't get much run as the slot receiver in Tennessee, as the Titans often run two-wide sets with either two tight ends or fullback Jalston Fowler on the field. He has to compete with tight end Delanie Walker for target over the middle when he does get on the field, and lacks the size and explosiveness to be a major contributor without a steady diet of targets being fed his way.

Wright caught two of three targets for 14 yards in his season debut Sunday in Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Wright ranked sixth on the Titans in receiving yards in his return from a hamstring injury suffered in camp. Fellow veteran slot receiver Harry Douglas was inactive with Wright back in the lineup. Don't expect much from the possession receiver playing on a run-first Titans offense.

Wright is scheduled to make his season debut Sunday after being a full participant in practice throughout this week.
EDGE Analysis
Wright missed Tennessee's first three games due to a hamstring issue that carried over from the preseason, but is slated to rejoin his teammates Sunday against the Texans. The wideout has no injury designation heading into the weekend, although it's unclear whether he'll be given a full snap count right away. Regardless, his ability from the slot position should only help a Titans pass offense that has struggled thus far.

Wright's ability to separate from defenders from the slot position should help the Titans passing game, The Tennessean reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright missed the entire preseason and Tennessee's first three regular season games due to a hamstring problem, but is expected to return this Sunday against the Texans. Having him back figures to bolster the team's receiving options, particularly from the slot, where his wiggle and elusiveness could help take pressure off rookie Tajae Sharpe and Rishard Matthews as the main receiving options. Although the Titans have succeeded on the ground thus far, quarterback Marcus Mariota has struggled to start his second season, but could find comfort in having a more shifty target like Wright available going forward.

Wright (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
With a return to practicing fully, Wright -- who missed the Titans' first three games -- expects to resume action Sunday against the Texans. Assuming that's the case, he'd likely work behind both Rishard Matthews and Tajae Sharpe, who was limited at Wednesday's practice by a hamstring issue.

Wright (hamstring) is expected to practice in full Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright returned to practice last week and was a game-time decision Sunday against Oakland, ultimately sitting out a third straight game. He seems primed for a Week 4 return against Houston, but he'll likely just be the No. 3 wideout in a shaky passing attack, making fantasy utility an unlikely proposition.

Wright (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
With Wright still sidelined, look for Tajae Sharpe and Rishard Matthews to head the Titans' Week 3 wideout corps, with veterans Andre Johnson and Harry Douglas also on hand.

Wright (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, will handle limited snaps if he plays in Sunday's game against Oakland, The Tennessean's Jason Wolf reports.
EDGE Analysis
Once the Titans' top wide receiver, Wright may now struggle to get on the field, even after his injury is no longer an issue. As for the upcoming week, he seems unlikely to top 20 snaps, if he's able to play at all.

Wright (hamstring) increased his practice reps Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Per coach Mike Mularkey , "Kendall did more" work Thursday than he did during Wednesday's practice session. "He took a third of the reps yesterday and I told him to get at least half the reps today. We'll see how much better he is tomorrow." We'll revisit the wideout's status Friday, though we suspect that he will probably draw a questionable designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
