BROCK WRIGHT NEWS

Nabs touchdown in blowout win Wright caught his only target for an eight-yard touchdown in Sunday's 52-14 win over the Titans.

Impact Wright made the most of his one touch in Week 8, reeling in an eight-yard score in the second quarter. The tight end hadn't secured a catch since Week 4 and through seven games in 2024, he's caught eight of 10 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown. Wright remains an unattractive fantasy option while operating as the No. 2 tight end behind Sam LaPorta.

Two catches during MNF Wright caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Monday's 42-29 win over the Seattle.

Impact Wright saw his production decrease in Week 4 with Sam LaPorta taking on his full complement of offensive snaps again. Wright is the clear No. 2 option at tight end and his fantasy upside is greatly limited when LaPorta is active. Over the first four games of the season, Wright has caught seven of eight targets for 49 yards.

Four catches in win Wright caught four of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Wright had a rather productive day for his standards, matching his career-high four catches versus Arizona. With Sam LaPorta (ankle) suffering a sprained ankle in the contest, Wright picked up some of the slack at tight end. If LaPorta would be forced to miss time moving forward, Wright would become fantasy relevant in his absence.

Secures one catch in victory Wright caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams.

Impact Wright played 30 of the team's 61 offensive snaps, operating as the team's primary blocking tight end. His one catch came in the second quarter as Sam LaPorta garnered all the targets from the tight end position against Los Angeles. Wright's value is much higher to the Lions than it is to fantasy managers.

Lions reportedly match 49ers' offer for restricted free agent TE Brock Wright

The Detroit Lions retained tight end Brock Wright, preventing the NFC rival San Francisco 49ers from signing the restricted free agent.

Could back up Kittle The offer sheet Wright signed with the 49ers as a restricted free agent Friday is reportedly for three years and $12 million, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Per Birkett, the Lions have five days to match the offer and since Wright was an undrafted free agent, they wouldn't receive draft pick compensation if he departs. If the 25-year-old ends up with the 49ers, he'd be in line to help fill the blocking tight end void behind starter George Kittle created by the free-agent departure of Charlie Woerner.

Breaks forearm in Sunday's win Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters after Sunday's 31-23 win over the Buccaneers that Wright sustained a broken forearm, Jeff Risdon of USA Today reports.

Impact With such a serious injury, Wright will likely be out for the Lions' NFC Championship game against the 49ers. Wright hauled in his lone target for 29 yards. Anthony Firkser is set to move into the backup spot behind Sam LaPorta with Wright out.

Exits game Wright has a forearm injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's divisional-round playoff game against the Buccaneers.

Impact The second-string tight end caught one pass for 29 yards before exiting. Wright had 13 catches for 91 yards and a touchdown in the regular season. Anthony Firkser should take his place behind starter Sam LaPorta.

On track to play Sunday Wright (hip) will practice this week and is on pace to play in the wild-card round, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

Impact Wright sat out for Detroit's last three regular-season games due to a hip injury he sustained in Week 15 versus the Broncos, but it looks like he should come back for its postseason date versus the Rams. If Sam LaPorta (knee) is sidelined, Wright would project as the Lions' starting tight end.

Will sit out season finale Wright (hip) has been ruled out from Sunday's Week 18 matchup against Minnesota.

Impact Wright will sit out a third straight game due to a hip injury that has kept him out of practice since he was hurt versus the Broncos in Week 15. James Mitchell has been seeing more work in Wright's absence, and Anthony Firkser has been active on gameday each of the past two weeks. Firsker was waived Thursday, but he could be back on Detroit's practice squad in time to be elevated for Sunday's regulars-season finale.

Still nursing hip injury Wright (hip) was listed as a non-participant on the Lions' practice estimate Tuesday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wright is apparently still being bothered by the hip issue he picked up in Week 15 versus the Broncos. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Wednesday or Thursday to give himself a chance to suit up in Week 17.

DECEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Missing Week 16 Wright (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Wright seems to have suffered a hip injury in the Lions' Week 15 win over the Broncos, and after missing the entire week of practice, it's no surprise that he's been ruled out Sunday. James Mitchell will get the opportunity to serve as Detroit's No. 2 tight end with Wright missing Week 16.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return Saturday Wright exited Saturday's game against the Broncos with a groin injury and is questionable to return.

Impact Wright suffered the injury in the first half of the game and was not targeted prior to his exit. The severity of the issue is currently unclear.
