Owen Wright - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Non-tendered by Chicago Wright became an unrestricted free agent Wednesday after the Ravens opted not to tender his contract, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wright missed the entire 2024 season after suffering a hairline fracture in his foot during the Ravens' preseason finale in August. He underwent a procedure to fix the injury, but he is not in the Ravens' plans for the 2025 campaign. Wright appeared in just one regular-season game for the Ravens in 2023 and played eight snaps in special teams against the Cardinals in Week 8. Wright will explore his options and look to catch on with a team in need of backfield depth and help on special teams.

Will get surgery for foot injury Wright is expected to undergo surgery for a hairline fracture in his foot that he sustained in Saturday's preseason game against the Packers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact The injury isn't considered to be season ending, but Zrebiec notes that the Ravens will now have to make a decision on whether to retain Wright on the roster at the conclusion of training camp. Wright was a strong contender to win the No. 3 running back spot behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, but now his spot on the Ravens' roster is in jeopardy. With Wright's injury and Keaton Mitchell (knee) still on the active/PUP list, the door has opened for Rasheen Ali and Chris Collier to compete for the third running back spot behind Henry and Hill as training camp winds down.

Suffers broken foot Saturday Wright was diagnosed with a broken foot following Saturday's preseason loss to the Packers, Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Wright rushed for 10 yards on three carries in Saturday's contest, but he was carted back to the locker room after injuring his foot. With Keaton Mitchell (knee) still on the active/PUP list, Wright was making a strong case to winning the No. 3 running back job behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. However, Wright's injury from Saturday's game complicates his path towards a spot on the Ravens' 53-man roster.

Leading rusher in loss Wright had seven carries for a team-leading 33 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Eagles.

Impact The Monmouth running back spent much of last season on the practice squad save for one appearance when he played special teams against the Cardinals. Wright and rookie Rasheen Ali saw the bulk of the backfield work Friday as the Ravens sort through their depth options behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill going into the season. Though Wright outperformed Ali (10 carries, 26 yards), the team has more invested in the rookie and therefore Wright will need to thoroughly outplay him the rest of the preseason to have a shot at beating him out for a roster spot.
