Wright (foot) was placed on injured reserve by the Ravens on Tuesday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports. The running back suffered a hairline fracture to his foot during the team's final preseason game last Saturday and is expected to undergo surgery, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. The injury is not considered season-ending, per Zrebiec. Wright was a strong contender for Baltimore's third running back spot behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.
Wright is expected to undergo surgery for a hairline fracture in his foot that he sustained in Saturday's preseason game against the Packers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. The injury isn't considered to be season ending, but Zrebiec notes that the Ravens will now have to make a decision on whether to retain Wright on the roster at the conclusion of training camp. Wright was a strong contender to win the No. 3 running back spot behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, but now his spot on the Ravens' roster is in jeopardy. With Wright's injury and Keaton Mitchell (knee) still on the active/PUP list, the door has opened for Rasheen Ali and Chris Collier to compete for the third running back spot behind Henry and Hill as training camp winds down.
Wright was diagnosed with a broken foot following Saturday's preseason loss to the Packers, Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. Wright rushed for 10 yards on three carries in Saturday's contest, but he was carted back to the locker room after injuring his foot. With Keaton Mitchell (knee) still on the active/PUP list, Wright was making a strong case to winning the No. 3 running back job behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. However, Wright's injury from Saturday's game complicates his path towards a spot on the Ravens' 53-man roster.
Wright (undisclosed) was carted off the field with an apparent lower-body injury during the Ravens' preseason game against the Packers on Saturday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner reports. Wright carried the ball three times for 10 yards before exiting. The running back is in competition for the third slot on the Ravens' depth chart behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, per Shaffer. The second-year pro appeared in one game and on zero offensive snaps for Baltimore in 2023.
Wright had seven carries for a team-leading 33 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Eagles. The Monmouth running back spent much of last season on the practice squad save for one appearance when he played special teams against the Cardinals. Wright and rookie Rasheen Ali saw the bulk of the backfield work Friday as the Ravens sort through their depth options behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill going into the season. Though Wright outperformed Ali (10 carries, 26 yards), the team has more invested in the rookie and therefore Wright will need to thoroughly outplay him the rest of the preseason to have a shot at beating him out for a roster spot.
Wright was cut by the Ravens ahead of the 53-man roster deadline at the end of training camp, but he elected to join the team's practice squad on Aug. 31. The move could be a precautionary one with Keaton Mitchell (hamstring) listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.
