James Wright: Dropped by Colts
The Colts released Wright (knee) after he failed a physical Tuesday, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

Since entering the league in 2014, Wright has suited up in 24 games and caught 18 passes for 197 yards and zero touchdowns.

Colts' James Wright: Likely being held out Saturday
Wright (knee) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the 49ers.
Wright injured his knee in the Colts' preseason opener and has not returned to the field since. Apart from T.Y. Hilton, the competition for wide receiver snaps on the Colts roster is a fairly open race, so Wright will be hoping to get healthy soon in order to establish himself on the depth chart. Look for Zach Pascal and Daurice Fountain to see additional snaps with Wright out.

The 26-year-old Wright didn't log any NFL action in 2017 after having accrued 18 receptions for 197 yards across 24 games with the Bengals the preceding two seasons.

James Wright: Reaches injury settlement
Wright (chest) reached an injury settlement with the Browns on Sunday and was subsequently cut by the team, Dan Labbe of Cleveland.com report.

Browns' James Wright: Suffers bruised lung
Wright suffered a bruised lung during Thursday's practice and subsequently missed Friday's scrimmage, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Wright was claimed off waivers by the Browns in March, and with the team's lack of depth at wide receiver, the former Bengal has a legitimate opportunity to make the roster. He will, however, miss at least a few day as he waits for his bruised lung to heal.

Browns' James Wright: Claimed by Browns
Wright was claimed off waivers by the Browns on Tuesday, Cleveland.com reports.
Wright was waived by the Bengals on Monday but did not fall past his old coach Hue Jackson and the Bengals. Wright compiled 106 yards on 13 receptions for the Bengals in 2016 across 13 games. He also tallied 11 tackles in his special teams role. Wright will join a group of young receivers in Cleveland and will have an opportunity to prove himself in training camp. The team let Terrelle Pryor walk in free agency, so outside of Corey Coleman, there is room on the depth chart to earn some playing time.
