Wright (abdomen) did not practice Wednesday, Joe Kania of the team's official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

The sixth-year veteran exited the opener after only 18 snaps, and missed the Week 2 tilt against the Saints. Chris Conte filled in admirably for Wright against New Orleans, tallying six tackles and an interception over 43 plays on defense. With fellow safety D.J. Swearinger, who also pitched in with 29 snaps in Week 2, ailing with a shoulder injury as well, the Bucs' strong safety picture for Week 3 against the Texans remains muddled.

Wright (hip) is inactive Sunday against the Saints, Greg Auman of the Tampa Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright is the Bucs' starting strong safety and will be missed against the potent Saints' offense. DJ Swearinger should make the start in Wright's place.

Wright (hip is out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Wright didn't practice all week, suggesting his Week 3 availability is also in doubt. D.J. Swearinger is expected to fill in as the starter next to Bradley McDougald on Sunday.

Wright (abdomen) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Joe Kania of the Bucs' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright logged seven starts for the Bucs last season and opened the season as the starting strong safety, recording two tackles (one solo) and one pass defensed in 18 snaps against the Titans. Third-year pro D.J. Swearinger would step into Wright's starting role in Week 2 against the Saints if the sixth-year veteran's injury prevents him from taking the field.

Tampa Bay placed Wright (ribs) on season-ending IR, NFL.com reports. The Buccaneers don't have much to play for, so they opted to rest Wright over the next two weeks rather than try to get another game out of him. Brad McDougald is the likely replacement.

Wright (ribs) is out for Sunday's game against Green Bay. Wright was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday, so he might be able to return in Week 17.

Wright (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. Wright didn't see the practice field Thursday or Friday, so it's not much of a surprise to see him sit this one out. Look for Bradley McDougald to see yet another week of extra reps in the Tampa Bay secondary.

Wright (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina. Wright is expected to miss this game, despite technically avoiding an 'out' declaration. He didn't practice Thursday or Friday.

Wright (ribs) was not at practice Friday, and the Tampa Bay Times' Greg Auman believes the safety will likely miss Sunday's game against Carolina. We'll wait and see how the Buccaneers list him on their official injury designations, but anyone planning to deploy Wright this weekend should begin the search for a Plan B.

Wright (ribs) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, the Buccaneers' official site reports. Wright picked up a new ailment in Week 14, which places his availability for Sunday's game at Carolina in question. However, with 51 tackles (34 solo) and no other counting stats on the ledger, the strong safety isn't exactly a palatable option for IDP owners embroiled in the fantasy playoffs.
