Rotowire
Wright recorded six tackles, including five solo, in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Wright finished with 80 tackles, 11 passes defended, including five interceptions, one touchdown, two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries after earning a starting role early in the season. He exceeded expectations following limited usage over his first four NFL seasons and never relinquished his spot. He is set to hit free agency and projects as a highly sought-after IDP entering 2026.

Bears' Nahshon Wright: Seven-tackle effort logged
Rotowire
Wright recorded seven tackles, including six solo, in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Bears' Nahshon Wright: Active for SNF
Rotowire
Wright (hamstring/illness) is active for Sunday night's matchup with the 49ers.
The cornerback was limited in Wednesday's practice, listed as limited on Thursday's estimated practice report and then held out of Friday's session, but he's good to go despite trending in the wrong direction. Wright has played on more than 90 percent of the defensive snaps in every game but one this season, recording 67 total tackles (43 solo), 11 pass breakups, including five interceptions, two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.

Bears' Nahshon Wright: Questionable for Week 17
Rotowire
Wright (hamstring/illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.
The Oregon State product downgraded from a limited practice Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of the Week 17 contest. Wright has appeared in all 15 of Chicago's games this season, recording 67 total tackles, 11 passes defensed, including five interceptions, and two forced fumbles. If active Sunday, he's expected to serve as one of the Bears' top boundary cornerbacks.

Bears' Nahshon Wright: Estimated as limited
Rotowire
Wright (hamstring) is listed as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated practice report.
The Bears didn't actually host an on-field practice Thursday, but Wright's estimated activity level mirrors the limited reps he logged Wednesday. As long as the starting cornerback is able to practice in at least a limited capacity again Friday, he'll be a solid candidate to gain clearance in time for Sunday's road matchup against the 49ers.

Bears' Nahshon Wright: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Wright (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Wright played 100 percent of defensive snaps in the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers last Sunday, so it is unclear where he picked up the hamstring issue. The cornerback's ability to start the week practicing bodes well for his chances of suiting up for Sunday night's game against the 49ers. If Wright can string together consecutive practices to end the week, he has the opportunity to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest.

Bears' Nahshon Wright: Heavy tackle involvement
Rotowire
Wright recorded eight tackles, including three solo, in the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers on Saturday.
Wright logged his third game this season with more than six tackles and his first such outing with at least eight stops since Week 8. He also has five interceptions this season, though tackle totals have fluctuated week-to-week. That mix leaves him as an inconsistent IDP with big-play-driven upside.

Bears' Nahshon Wright: Forces and recovers fumble
Rotowire
Wright finished with five tackles (four solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in Friday's 24-15 win over the Eagles.
The cornerback forced and recovered the same fumble on a tush push attempt in the third quarter. Wright also played on all 51 defensive snaps even with Jaylon Johnson (groin) and Kyler Gordon (calf) back from injuries. He has played on at least 66 percent of the defensive snaps in every game this season, recording 54 tackles (38 solo), 10 pass breakups, including five interceptions, and three fumble recoveries, so he should maintain some sort of role moving forward.

Bears' Nahshon Wright: Adds another interception
Rotowire
Wright recorded six tackles, including three solo, and one interception in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Wright has five or more tackles in three of his last seven contests and now has five interceptions on the season, including four over his last six games. With Jaylon Johnson (groin) nearing a return from injured reserve, Wright is at risk of sliding back into a reserve role, making his IDP value more matchup- and snap-dependent going forward.

Bears' Nahshon Wright: Lands in Windy City
Rotowire
The Bears signed Wright to a one-year contract Tuesday, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.
Wright appeared in one game for Minnesota last season, in which he played 15 snaps on special teams and saw no work on defense. The 2021 third-round pick likewise contributed more on special teams than defense during his three years with Dallas, priming him to now compete for a similar role in Chicago.

Dallas traded Wright to the Vikings on Friday in exchange for Andrew Booth, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Cowboys' Nahshon Wright: No injury status for Week 6
Rotowire
Wright (ankle) was a full participant in practice this week and could be activated for Monday's contest against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Wright was competing for a depth secondary spot in training camp, but he was placed on IR ahead of the 53-man roster deadline after sustaining an ankle injury. If he's activated for Week 6, he could see a large role right out the gate with Trevon Diggs (knee) out for the season and C.J. Goodwin (pectoral) ruled out of Monday's contest. Wright posted 23 tackles (17 solo), four pass deflections and an interception in seven games last season.

Cowboys' Nahshon Wright: Designated to return
Rotowire
Wright (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday.
Wright was placed on IR in late August after suffering an ankle injury, and it seems as if he's recovered enough to start practicing again. The 25-year-old corner has a chance to play during Dallas' Week 6 matchup against the Chargers if he's activated from IR before Monday night's contest. Once Wright is activated, expect him to play a rotational role in the Cowboys' secondary.

Cowboys' Nahshon Wright: Placed on COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Dallas placed Wright (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Nick Eatman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Wright tested positive for the virus and will likely be sidelined for Thursday's contest against the Saints. The rookie cornerback has mostly played special teams this season, so if he is unavailable, it shouldn't have an impact on Dallas' defensive rotations.
