Wright (knee) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was unable to participate in practice at all this week, so his lack of availability is anything but surprising. The veteran linebacker aggravated a lingering knee issue during a Week 10 loss to the Rams, and will remain sidelined for Thursday Night Football as he works to recover. Shaquem Griffin and Austin Calitro are expected to receive increased defensive roles in Wright's absence.

Wright (knee) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Packers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright aggravated his knee during Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Rams, logging just 60 percent of the snaps on defense in his third game of the season. It's a major loss for the Seattle defense, especially with Mychal Kendricks still serving a suspension. Shaquem Griffin and Austin Calitro are the top candidates to account for Wright's usual snaps in a three-down role.

Wright (knee) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright seemingly re-aggravated his knee during Week 10's matchup with the Rams, putting his status for Thursday's game against the Packers in doubt. Expect Shaquem Griffin to see an increased workload if Wright is inactive.

Wright (knee) did not participate in Monday's walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Wright unable to even test his knee at the walkthrough, it seems like there's a growing possibility that he'll miss Thursday's game against Green Bay. Nothing has been ruled out yet, but given the short week things are looking bleak at the moment. Tuesday's practice report should help clear things up.

Wright was unable to play through the entirety of Sunday's 36-31 loss against the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright played only 60 percent of defensive snaps during Seattle's loss to the Rams in Week 10, his lowest defensive workload since making his 2018 debut in Week 8. The veteran linebacker could still be hampered by his lingering knee injury, so Wright's participation in practice is worth monitoring as Thursday's tilt against the Packers approaches.

Wright (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the Seahawks' first six games while recovering from knee surgery, Wright's practice reps have been limited ahead of each of the subsequent three contests. There wasn't any indication that the linebacker suffered any setbacks with the knee coming out of the Week 9 loss to the Chargers, so he should be in store for a full load of snaps in the divisional showdown.

Wright (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's road game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
There may have been some concern after Wright missed Thursday's practice, but he came back Friday and John Boyle of the Seahawks' official sitecoach Pete Carroll's blessing. It appears the 29-year-old linebacker is on track to play for a third straight week after missing the first six games of the season.

Wright (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright made his season debut in Week 8 against the Lions, and he made five tackles and broke up a pass. The veteran linebacker averaged 7.2 tackles per game last year, but he may still be feeling the side effects of his knee issue and be hindered from reaching that rate again. Regardless, he'll look to slow down Chargers' running back Melvin Gordon in this matchup.

Wright (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright made his 2018 debut last week after sitting out to recover from an arthroscopic knee procedure he underwent in late August. Despite not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, head coach Pete Carroll said he expects Wright to play Sunday. If Wright did, in fact, aggravate his injury last week and misses time Sunday, Austin Calitro would likely fill in again.

Wright (knee) sat out Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright -- who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in late August -- made his 2018 debut on Sunday against the Lions, compiling five tackles and one pass breakup. It's unknown if Wright re-aggravated his knee during the game, though it's likely the Seahawks are just giving him extra time to rest by keeping him out of practice.
