Wright (undisclosed) will be placed on injured reserve this week, NFL Network's Rand Getlin reports.
Wright opened the season as a starter, but his Week 1 injury gave Chris Conte a chance to shine. Hobbled by injuries for much of the year, Wright finished with just 25 tackles and three passes defensed in nine appearances. He is under contract for 2016, whereas Conte's deal expires at the end of the season. Given that neither player really stands out, the Bucs might also look outside of the organization for a starting safety to pair with Bradley McDougald.
