Wright faces a pair of favorable matchups to end the season and given his high volume, is a very valuable asset for this final stretch of the season.

Questionable for Tulane game Wright (undisclosed) is questionable for Temple's game Saturday at Tulane, Declan Landis of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Even after a week to rest up from his knee injury, Wright's status remains far from secure, with him potentially being unable to go for Temple's first game of November. The struggling Owls could desperately use an excellent option out wide, especially with a top AAC team in Tulane looming over them.

Solid in Saturday's loss Wright recorded eight receptions (on 12 targets) for 67 yards during Saturday's 29-20 loss to Connecticut.

Impact Wright failed to find the end zone for the first time since Week 1, but he still put together a solid performance. He caught eight passes for the fourth time in his last five games and saw 12 targets which marked his second most this season. Even though his 67 yards was nothing special, considering Forrest Brock only threw for 136 yards it was a nice outing for Wright given the circumstances.

He has established a great connection with Evan Simon over the last three games and will look to continue that bond next Saturday at UConn.

Impact Wright was in the midst of a very disappointing outing, but completely salvaged it with a 91-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. He has recorded over 99 yards in each of his last three games and has 27 targets during that stretch. Although it didn't go anywhere, he also received his fourth rushing attempt of the season which is further evidence that the team wants the ball in his hands.

Impact Wright led all Owls' receivers in receptions, targets and yards Saturday, and none of his teammates were even close. He also caught a two-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He has been excellent in his last two games -- with two different quarterbacks -- catching 20 passes (on 23 targets) for 200 yards and two touchdowns. With Temple expected to lose most of the rest of the season, Wright will have plenty of opportunities to accumulate receptions and yards.

Excellent versus Navy Wright hauled in 11 of 13 targets for 101 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-11 defeat versus Navy.

Impact Wright had a very rough start to his season last week as he lost two fumbles in the season opener. He bounced back in a grand fashion Saturday, leading his team by far in receptions, targets and receiving yards, and scoring his team's lone touchdown in addition to the two-point conversion. Wright established himself as Forrest Brock's go-to target, a role that could be very lucrative based on how poor Temple's defense has been through two weeks.

Fumbles twice in opener Wright hauled in all three targets for 36 yards and lost two fumbles during Friday's 51-3 defeat versus Oklahoma.

Impact Wright caught three passes and rushed twice in Thursday's opener, and lost two fumbles on those five touches. It was a poor way for him to start off the season, but it was not all bad. He, as expected, showed himself to be the No. 1 option in the passing game and the coaching staff proved they want to get him the ball in a variety of ways. While the performance may leave a sour taste, his toughest opponent is now out of the way and he can focus on performing for the rest of the season.

Warner, he found his form again, logging four catches for 48 yards, his most since Week 2 at Rutgers. Now that Warner is back healthy, Wright has a chance to have a strong end to the season.

He has withdrawn his name from the portal as of Wednesday, though he hasn't begun practicing again just yet. Wright appears to be in line to rejoin the team but it remains to be seen how his role will change upon his return.
