Buccaneers tight end Timothy Wright got off to a slow start in Week 8 against the Panthers, but came up with a big fourth quarter to salvage his game in a 31-13 loss Thursday.
Wright had just one catch for 10 yards at halftime, and was held without a catch in the third quarter. Fortunately, as the Buccaneers rallied in an attempt to make the score more respectable late, Wright and Glennon started to get on the same page. Wright brought in four receptions in the fourth quarter, one of which went for a 10-yard touchdown, the first of his career.
Wright finished with five receptions for 48 yards to go along with his touchdown. He has 19 catches for 195 yards in four games since Glennon took over as quarterback. He will try to continue his solid play in Week 9 against the Seahawks.
