Returns to action Wright (quadriceps) returned to practice on Tuesday, Wes Rucker of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Wright has returned from a quad injury which kept him out of multiple weeks of practice with the Vols. The sophomore running back will look to build upon his productive 2021 season in which he rushed for 409 yards and four touchdowns on 85 attempts as a true freshman. Wright figures to take on a larger role for Tennessee this season.

Hopeful for Week 1 Tennessee running backs coach Jerry Mack said Tuesday that Wright (quadriceps) is progressing and there is confidence that he will be ready for the season opener, 247 Sports,/a> re...

Impact Wright has been upping his level of practice participation in recent days after suffering a quadriceps injury earlier in fall camp. "Today he was able to do a little bit more than he was a couple of days ago, so I think and feel confident that [Wright] will be ready by the time we enter the first game," Mack said Tuesday. Jabari Small seems to be the top option in the Volunteer backfield but players like Wright as well as freshmen Dylan Sampson and Justin Williams-Thomas will factor into the mix as well. Tennessee opens the season Sept. 1 against Ball State.

Easing into practice Wright (quad) has been participating in individual drills for Volunteers, Patrick Brown of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Wright was active at practice for the second day in a row. The 5-foot-11 sophomore wasn't in pads, and he didn't participate any 11-on-11 work with the team yet. Wright appears to be getting healthier, but his availability for the season opener isn't certain yet. The sophomore running back totaled 409 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 85 attempts, along with six receptions for 22 yards in 2021.

Impact Wright faces a tough challenge to carve out a significant workload in the backfield with Jabari Small and Tiyon Evans expected to head the group, but he will reportedly be a factor on special teams and could emerge as a contributor out of the backfield as a true freshman. Even if that's not the case right out of the gate, Wright's early impression should set him up well to be a future contributor or the Vols.
