Wright (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright will miss his fifth straight game after working in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday. Those two practice sessions make his view more favorable will a Week 16 meeting with the Chiefs on the horizon, but he'll likely need to bump up to full participation before re-entering the lineup. Expect Austin Calitro to take over as a starting outside linebacker.

Coach Pete Carroll indicated Wright (knee) isn't expected to be available for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has sat out the last four games with the knee injury, but was able to take part in the Seahawks' walkthrough Wednesday. The 29-year-old will likely have to look towards the Week 16 matchup against the Chiefs, though until he actually returns to practice there is little reason to be optimistic for his chances of playing. Austin Calitro should see an increased defensive role with Wright sidelined and Mychal Kendricks (lower leg) now out for the season.

Wright (knee) was ruled out for Monday's game against the Vikings, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The news was to be expected after coach Pete Carroll said he was "hopeful" Wright could return this season, indicating a longer recovery. The 29-year-old resumed running last Monday and had a workout Wednesday, but remains without a timetable for his return. Wright should be considered out indefinitely until the team indicates otherwise.

Coach Pete Carroll said that he is "hopeful" that Wright (knee) will be able to return this season, Liz Matthews of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carroll said that Wright "had a good day" in his Wednesday workout, but that he does not yet have a timetable for a return. The 28-year-old reportedly resumed running Dec. 3 and is making progress in his recovery, but nonetheless does not appear to be close to making a return to full health. Recently reinstated linebacker Mychal Kendricks is likely to assume Wright's spot in the starting lineup for the time being. Wright's chances of retaking the field this season may be contingent on Seattle extending their season with a playoff run.

Wright (knee) will begin running this week, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a good sign for Wright moving forward, but there's still no word as to when the 28-year-old will return this season, if at all. Depending on how he holds up this week could help paint a clearer image as to where he stands down the road. Recently reinstated linebacker, Mychal Kendricks, stands a good chance to assume Wright's spot until he's back.

Wright (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Wright will remain sidelined as he continues to nurse what appears to be a significant knee injury. Shaquem Griffin will benefit from an uptick in snaps during Sunday's divisional tilt against the 49ers. Coach Pete Carroll said that Wright will undergo further evaluation Wednesday or Thursday next week, after which time the Seahawks will decide how to proceed with regard to the veteran's knee issue.

Wright (knee) is away from the team Wednesday while seeking treatment for his knee injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has not practiced since suffering a knee injury during a Week 10 loss to the Rams. The details of the veteran linebacker's injury remain undisclosed, but the fact that he's going to the extent of seeking independent treatment is somewhat concerning. There's know way of knowing when, or if, Wright will retake the field this season for the time being.

Wright (knee) has been ruled out for Week 12's matchup against the Panthers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was a non-participant in Wednesday's and Thursday's practices. It was revealed after Seattle's Week 11 win over the Packers that Wright could miss another game or two. Only time will tell how Wright's recovery goes but the team doesn't seem comfortable playing him until he's back to full health. Until then, Austin Calitro will likely start at linebacker.

Wright (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune Reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright sat out last week's win over the Packers after aggravating his knee during a Week 10 loss to the Rams, and is still managing his recovery. The veteran linebacker's chances of suiting up against the Panthers are murk at best. If Wright is unable to play Week 12, Austin Calitro is expected to slot into the starting lineup once more.

Wright (knee) may need another game or two to recover, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright didn't play Thursday against the Packers as he tries to recover from a knee injury sustained in Week 10. The Seahawks are hoping that the extra time between Thursday and their next game will benefit Wright greatly in his recovery. Even with the extra time, the team is concerned that Wright could miss another game, or even two. More should become clear as the Seahawks' next game -- on Nov. 25 -- draws closer.
