The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one game left in their 2015 season, but they'll be playing that without safety Major Wright it seems. While Wright suffered an injury in Week 1, it led to Chris Conte stepping up at that point. From there, Wright found himself dealing with small injuries throughout the season.

Via Rand Getlin of NFL Network:

The #Bucs are placing safety Major Wright on IR, a source said. Unfortunately, his season is over.

Wright totaled 25 tackles and three passes defensed during the nine games he played in, with his best game coming in an early December loss to the New Orleans Saints. During that game, Wright totaled eight total tackles and two pass deflections.
