Wright (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright's recovery timetable from offseason knee surgery remains unclear, as coach Pete Carroll indicated last week that his recovery has slowed. Mychal Kendricks should grab a third straight start at weakside linebacker for the Seahawks with Wright unlikely to be ready for Week 4.

Wright (knee) has slowed in his recovery, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright seems to have suffered a setback in his recovery from offseason knee surgery. The extent to which Wright's recovery timetable has been extended remains unclear, but the 29-year-old, is no longer trending towards making an early-season return. Mychal Kendricks will continue to serve as a starter in Wright's absence, and Shaquem Griffin could continue to see increased defensive looks.

Wright (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has been recovering from the knee surgery he underwent at the end of training camp. Head coach Pete Carroll originally seemed optimistic he could return this week, but that will not be the case. Still, he appears to be trending in a positive direction, and will set his sights on a possible Week 4 return.

Wright (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Information early in the week circulated by head coach Pete Carroll suggested that Wright may be ready to return for Week 3 against the Cowboys. Wright's absence from practice Wednesday doesn't support that notion, so he will likely have to progress over the next couple of days if that is to come to fruition.

Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Wright (knee) may be ready to play in Week 3's game against the Cowboys, Liz Matthews of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has been recovering from knee surgery since the end of August, but Carroll seems optimistic that the linebacker will be back at practice this week after seeing him run last week. An official update on Wright's health should come once the Seahawks release their first injury report next week.

Wright (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bears, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright underwent an arthroscopic procedure in the offseason expected to require multiple weeks of recovery, so it's no surprise that the 29-year-old isn't yet ready to return to the field. Expect rookie fourth-rounder Shaquem Griffen to start again against the Bears on Monday.

Wright is progressing in his recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery on Aug. 27, Liz Mathews of the Associated Press reports. "He's running today, he felt pretty good," coach Pete Carroll said Thursday. "We'll see how he goes, he's going day to day. He ran yesterday and he's working out again today so he's making progress, he's feeling pretty good."
EDGE Analysis
Two and a half weeks removed from the procedure, Wright appears to be ramping up his activity, despite his lack of practice reps Thursday, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. Wright likely needs to make his presence felt in practice before the Seahawks will sign off on game action, but he has yet to be ruled out for Monday's game in Chicago. Whenever he returns, he'll team with Bobby Wagner (groin) to form a fearsome LB duo.

Wright (knee) is not expected to play in the Seahawks' Week 2 tilt against the Bears, Liz Matthews of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright underwent arthroscopic knee surgery two weeks ago and is progressing through recovery currently. The team hasn't gone so far as to rule him out, but it would be surprising to see him suited up in Chicago. Look for Shaquem Griffen to see another start if Wright is indeed held out.

Wright will not play Sunday against the Broncos, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's no surprise that Wright won't suit up for the season-opener Sunday, given that the 29-year-old's recent arthroscopic procedure requires at least a couple weeks to heal. Rookie fourth-rounder Shaquem Griffin will serve as the starter at weak-side linebacker in Wright's absence.

Coach Pete Carroll hopes Wright (knee) will only be out for a couple weeks, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite saying Wright's arthroscopic procedure went well, Carroll essentially seems to be conceding that the linebacker won't be ready for Week 1 in Denver. The Seahawks likely will turn to rookie fourth-round pick Shaquem Griffin as the starter at weakside linebacker, but it isn't entirely clear if Griffin will occupy Wright's usual three-down role.
