Nahshon Wright - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Emerges as full-time starter Wright recorded six tackles, including five solo, in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Wright finished with 80 tackles, five interceptions, one touchdown, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 11 passes defended after earning a starting role early in the season. He exceeded expectations after limited usage over his first four NFL seasons and never relinquished his spot. He is set to hit free agency and projects as a highly sought-after IDP entering 2026.

Seven-tackle effort logged Wright recorded seven tackles, including six solo, in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Impact Wright has now posted more than six tackles for the fourth time this season and for the second time since Week 9. He also has five interceptions on the year, supplying occasional splash plays despite fluctuating tackle totals. The mix leaves him as an inconsistent IDP with big-play-driven upside.

Active for SNF Wright (hamstring/illness) is active for Sunday night's matchup with the 49ers.

Impact The cornerback was limited in Wednesday's practice, listed as limited on Thursday's estimated practice report and then held out of Friday's session, but he's good to go despite trending in the wrong direction. Wright has played on more than 90 percent of the defensive snaps in every game but one this season, recording 67 total tackles (43 solo), 11 pass breakups, including five interceptions, two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.

Questionable for Week 17 Wright (hamstring/illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.

Impact The Oregon State product downgraded from limited practice Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of the Week 17 contest. Wright has appeared in all 15 of Chicago's games this season, recording 67 total tackles, 11 passes defensed, including five interceptions, and two forced fumbles. If active Sunday, he's expected to serve as one of the Bears' top boundary cornerbacks.

Estimated as limited Wright (hamstring) is listed as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated practice report.

Impact The Bears didn't actually host an on-field practice Thursday, but Wright's estimated activity level mirrors the limited reps he logged Wednesday. As long as the starting cornerback is able to practice in at least a limited capacity again Friday, he'll be a solid candidate to gain clearance in time for Sunday's road matchup against the 49ers.

Limited Wednesday Wright (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Wright played 100 percent of defensive snaps in the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers last Sunday, so it is unclear where he picked up the hamstring issue. The cornerback's ability to start the week practicing bodes well for his chances of suiting up for Sunday night's game against the 49ers. If Wright can string together consecutive practices to end the week, he has the opportunity to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest.

Heavy tackle involvement Wright recorded eight tackles, including three solo, in the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers on Saturday.

Impact Wright logged his third game this season with more than six tackles and his first such outing with at least eight stops since Week 8. He also has five interceptions this season, though tackle totals have fluctuated week-to-week. That mix leaves him as an inconsistent IDP with big-play-driven upside.
