The Vikings released Wright on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Minnesota traded for Wright last August in a deal with Dallas for Andrew Booth. Wright ended up playing in just one game for the Vikings, logging 15 snaps on special teams and none on defense. He played more on special teams than on defense during his three years with the Cowboys as well and would likely be asked to accept a similar role if he lands with another organization.

Dallas traded Wright to the Vikings on Friday in exchange for Andrew Booth, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright will join Minnesota after spending the first three years of his NFL career with the Cowboys. The 6-foot-4 cornerback will join the Vikings as the likely backup to Shaquill Griffin but may see more opportunities in the preseason due to Griffin battling a leg injury as of late.

The Cowboys activated Wright (ankle) from injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Wright will be in line to make his 2023 debut Monday night against the Chargers. The 2021 third-rounder appeared in 20 games over his first two seasons, making three starts. Wright has one career interception and four pass breakups.

Wright (ankle) was a full participant in practice this week and could be activated for Monday's contest against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright was competing for a depth secondary spot in training camp, but he was placed on IR ahead of the 53-man roster deadline after sustaining an ankle injury. If he's activated for Week 6, he could see a large role right out the gate with Trevon Diggs (knee) out for the season and C.J. Goodwin (pectoral) ruled out of Monday's contest. Wright posted 23 tackles (17 solo), four pass deflections and an interception in seven games last season.

Wright (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wright was placed on IR in late August after suffering an ankle injury, and it seems as if he's recovered enough to start practicing again. The 25-year-old corner has a chance to play during Dallas' Week 6 matchup against the Chargers if he's activated from IR before Monday night's contest. Once Wright is activated, expect him to play a rotational role in the Cowboys' secondary.

Dallas placed Wright (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright was placed on IR after Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline, so he's eligible to return after sitting out a minimum of four games. The severity of Wright's injury remains unclear, but when he's available, he'll compete for a depth role in Dallas' secondary.

Wright recorded nine tackles (six solo) while recording an interception and two pass deflections in Thursday's 27-13 win over the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Wright led the team in tackles Thursday, registering a season-high nine stops in the victory. He was also able to snag his first interception of the campaign, picking off Joshua Dobbs late in the fourth quarter. On the campaign, Wright has compiled 22 tackles, four pass deflections and an interception over six contests.

Wright was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright missed two games after testing positive for the virus, but he has been removed from protocols and will rejoin the team ahead of Week 15. He's only played four defensive snaps all season, so his return shouldn't impact the Cowboys' defensive gameplan.

Dallas placed Wright (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Nick Eatman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright tested positive for the virus and will likely be sidelined for Thursday's contest against the Saints. The rookie cornerback has mostly played special teams this season, so if he is unavailable, it shouldn't have an impact on Dallas' defensive rotations.

Wright (hamstring) logged a full practice Monday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright missed the Cowboys' Week 11 loss against Kansas City, but getting in a full practice is a good sign for his availability Thursday. The third-round rookie has primarily contributed on special teams this season.
