Nahshon Wright - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Not listed on injury report Wright (undisclosed) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wright missed a few practices during camp, though it doesn't appear it was anything that will keep him off the field for Week 1. The 2021 No. 99 overall pick, who agreed to a one-year contract with the Jets in March, compiled 80 total tackles, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, five interceptions and one touchdown in 17 regular-season games for the Bears in 2025.

MARCH 10 • BLEACHERNATION.COM

Signs with New York Wright agreed to terms Tuesday on a contract with the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Wright lands a one-year, $5.5 million max deal after a breakout season with the Bears. The 2021 third-round pick by the Cowboys finally got a chance to start in 2025, finishing the season with 80 tackles and11 passes defensed, including five interceptions. The cornerback also forced two fumbles and recovered three, a skill the Jets' defense sorely desires after bottoming the league in turnovers forced in 2025 (four). If Wright performs consistently with his new team, he will likely be looking at a substantially larger contract after the 2026 season.
