Brock Wright - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Receives first target Wright caught the first target of Thursday's preseason game against the Commanders, taking his sole reception for three yards.

Impact Wright got the Lions' offense started, receiving the first target from quarterback Joshua Dobbs on the team's second drive of the game. With primary tight end Sam LaPorta's (hip) availability for Week 1 against the Saints in question, Wright could be the Lions' starting tight end to begin the regular season. The veteran player is entering his sixth year with the Lions and has both strong blocking and receiving upside.

Moves to injured reserve The Lions placed Wright (neck) on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Wright joins fellow TE Sam LaPorta (back) on IR, meaning the former will miss at least the next four games. With all of Wright, LaPorta and Shane Zylstra (knee), the latter of whom was designated for return from IR this week but ruled out for Week 14 action, sidelined, Detroit's group of available tight ends Thursday against the Cowboys includes Ross Dwelley, Anthony Firkser and Hayden Rucci.

Not playing Thursday Wright (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Cowboys.

Impact Wright now will miss a second consecutive contest due to a tracheal injury that may result in an extended absence, as coach Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press on Sunday. With Sam LaPorta (back) potentially out for the season, the Lions will lean on Ross Dwelley, Anthony Firkser and Hayden Rucci at TE in Week 14. Wright's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Dec. 14 at the Rams.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Idle for another practice Wright (neck) didn't practice Tuesday.

Impact Detroit has listed Wright as a non-participant on both of its first two Week 14 practice reports, a development that comes as little surprise after head coach Dan Campbell said Sunday that the tight end was dealing with an injury to his trachea that could result in a long-term absence, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. For now, the Lions are evaluating Wright's status on a game-by-game basis, and at this point, he seems likely to miss Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Remains DNP on Monday Wright (neck) did not practice Monday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wright missed last Thursday's loss to the Packers, and it sounds like he could miss an extended period of time due to a tracheal injury. With both Sam LaPorta (back) and Wright sidelined against Green Bay, Ross Dwelley played 75 percent of the snaps, while Anthony Firkser was in on 24 percent of the downs. Neither made an impact in the box score, combining for a 2-7-0 receiving line on four targets.

Impact Wright didn't play Thursday against Green Bay, and it sounds like he could be sidelined for awhile. Sam LaPorta (back) is expected to miss the rest of the season, so Ross Dwelley and Anthony Firskser will be the Lions' top two tight ends should Wright indeed be in for further absences. Campbell also indicated that Wright is undergoing further scans, so his timeline for a potential return remains uncertain.

Not playing Thursday Wright (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Packers, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wright was held out of all three walkthroughs during Week 13 prep and thus will miss his first game of the season due to a neck injury. With Sam LaPorta (back) on injured reserve and unlikely to play again this season, Ross Dwelley will be the primary beneficiary among Lions tight ends Thursday, while Anthony Firkser and Zach Horton are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad. Wright's next chance for game action is next Thursday, Dec. 4 versus the Cowboys.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out walk-through practice Wright (neck) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Impact With Sam LaPorta recently going down with a back injury and unlikely to play again this season after undergoing surgery, Wright has stepped in as the Lions' No. 1 tight end the past two weeks. He's played more than 80 percent of the snaps in each of those contests and has produced a 5-37-0 receiving line on 11 targets, but his health is now in question after he emerged from this past Sunday's win over the Giants with a neck issue. If Wright isn't able to play through the neck injury in Thursday's game against the Packers, Ross Dwelley would be the next man up at tight end, and at least one of Anthony Firkser and Zach Horton would be in line for a promotion from the practice squad.

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Monday Wright (neck) did not practice Monday.

Impact Wright played 88 percent of offensive snaps during Detroit's overtime win over the Giants in Week 12, securing three of four targets for 29 yards, but his status for Thursday's matchup against the Packers now appears uncertain due to a neck injury. It's possible the Lions are simply being cautious with Wright's health on a short week, given his position as the team's de facto starting tight end with Sam LaPorta (back) looking unlikely to return this season. Wright will have two more chances to get on the practice field ahead of Thursday's primetime divisional matchup.
