Wright was released by the Lions on Monday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The Lions re-signed Wright earlier this month after he completed his recovery from a torn ACL, but the tight end didn't distinguish himself enough in practices or preseason contests to seriously enter the conversation for a roster spot. With Wright out of the picture, the Lions will have more reps available in the preseason finale for the likes of Michael Roberts and Robert Tonyan, who are competing for depth roles behind the team's top two options at the position, Eric Ebron and Darren Fells.
