Lions' Brock Wright: Moves to injured reserve
The Detroit Lions placed Brock Wright (neck) on injured reserve Thursday.Wright joins fellow TE Sam LaPorta (back) on IR, meaning the former will miss at least the next four games. With all of Wright, LaPorta and Shane Zylstra (knee), the latter of whom was designated for return from IR this week but ruled out for Week 14 action, sidelined, Detroit's group of available tight ends Thursday against the Cowboys includes Ross Dwelley, Anthony Firkser and Hayden Rucci.

Lions' Brock Wright: Idle for another practice
Brock Wright (neck) didn't practice Tuesday.Detroit has listed Wright as a non-participant on its first two Week 14 practice reports, a development that comes as little surprise after head coach Dan Campbell said Sunday that the tight end was dealing with an injury to his trachea that could result in a long-term absence, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. For now, the Detroit Lions are evaluating Wright's status on a game-by-game basis, and at this point, he seems likely to miss Thursday's game against the Cowboys. Ross Dwelley, who caught one of three targets for three yards in Week 13, would likely step up as the Lions' top pass-catching option at tight end.

Lions' Brock Wright: Could miss extended time
Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said Sunday that Brock Wright is dealing with an injury to his trachea and could be in for with a long-term absence, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Pressreports.Wright didn't play Thursday against Green Bay, and it sounds like he could be sidelined awhile. Sam LaPorta (back) is expected to miss the rest of the season, so Ross Dwelley and Anthony Firkser will be the Lions' top two tight ends should Wright indeed be in for further absences. Campbell also indicated that Wright is undergoing further scans, so his timeline for a potential return remains uncertain.

Lions' Brock Wright: Not playing Thursday
Brock Wright (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Packers, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.Wright was held out of all three walkthroughs during Week 13 prep and thus will miss his first game of the season due to a neck injury. With Sam LaPorta (back) on injured reserve and unlikely to play again this season, Ross Dwelley will be the primary beneficiary among Detroit Lions tight ends Thursday, while Anthony Firkser and Zach Horton are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad. Wright's next chance for game action is next Thursday, Dec. 4 versus the Cowboys.

Lions' Brock Wright: Sits out walk-through practice
Brock Wright (neck) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.With Sam LaPorta recently going down with a back injury and unlikely to play again this season after undergoing surgery, Wright has stepped in as the Detroit Lions' No. 1 tight end the past two weeks. He's played more than 80 percent of the snaps in each of those contests and has produced a 5-37-0 receiving line on 11 targets, but his health is now in question after he emerged from this past Sunday's win over the Giants with a neck issue. If Wright isn't able to play through the neck injury in Thursday's game against the Packers, Ross Dwelley would be the next man up at tight end, and at least one of Anthony Firkser and Zach Horton would be in line for a promotion from the practice squad.

Lions' Brock Wright: Misses walkthrough Monday
Brock Wright (neck) listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.Wright played 88 percent of offensive snaps during Detroit's overtime win over the Giants in Week 12, securing three of four targets for 29 yards, but his status for Thursday's matchup against the Packers now appears uncertain due to a neck injury. It's possible the Detroit Lions are simply being cautious with Wright's health on a short week, given his position as the team's de facto starting tight end with Sam LaPorta (back) looking unlikely to return this season. Wright will have two more chances to get on the practice field ahead of a Thanksgiving divisional matchup.

Lions' Brock Wright: Three grabs in OT win
Brock Wright caught three of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 34-27 overtime win over the Giants.With Sam LaPorta (back) looking unlikely to return this season, Wright is the top pass-catching option among Detroit's healthy tight ends, but Sunday's volume doesn't suggest he's going to have a consistent role in the offense. Over two games since LaPorta went down, Wright has managed just a 5-37-0 line on 11 targets. He'll likely need a touchdown to make much of a fantasy impact in Week 13 during a Thanksgiving clash with the Packers.
