Placed on IR
Wright (foot) was placed on injured reserve by the Ravens on Tuesday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The running back suffered a hairline fracture to his foot during the team's final preseason game last Saturday and is expected to undergo surgery, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Wright had been a strong contender for Baltimore's third running back spot behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, but his placement on season-ending IR puts Rasheen Ali (concussion) in a position to handle that role early on.

Will get surgery for foot injury
Wright is expected to undergo surgery for a hairline fracture in his foot that he sustained in Saturday's preseason game against the Packers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The injury isn't considered to be season-ending, but Zrebiec notes that the Ravens will now have to make a decision on whether to retain Wright on the roster at the conclusion of training camp. Wright was a strong contender to win the No. 3 running back spot behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, but now his spot on the Ravens' roster is in jeopardy. Between Wright's injury and Keaton Mitchell (knee) still being on the active/PUP list, the door has opened for Rasheen Ali and Chris Collier to…read more

Suffers broken foot Saturday
Wright was diagnosed with a broken foot following Saturday's preseason loss to the Packers, Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis: Wright rushed for 10 yards on three carries in Saturday's contest, but he was carted back to the locker room after injuring his foot. With Keaton Mitchell (knee) still on the active/PUP list, Wright was making a strong case toward winning the No. 3 running back job behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. However, Wright's injury from Saturday's game complicates his path toward a spot on the Ravens' 53-man roster.

Carted off Saturday
Wright (undisclosed) was carted off the field with an apparent lower-body injury during the Ravens' preseason game against the Packers on Saturday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner reports.
Analysis: Wright carried the ball three times for 10 yards before exiting. The running back is in competition for the third slot on the Ravens' depth chart behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, per Shaffer. The second-year pro appeared in one game and on zero offensive snaps for Baltimore in 2023.

Leading rusher in loss
Wright had seven carries for a team-leading 33 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Eagles.
Analysis: The Monmouth running back spent much of last season on the practice squad save for one appearance when he played special teams against the Cardinals. Wright and rookie Rasheen Ali saw the bulk of the backfield work Friday as the Ravens sort through their depth options behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill going into the season. Though Wright outperformed Ali (10 carries, 26 yards), the team has more invested in the rookie and therefore Wright will need to thoroughly outplay him the rest of the…read more

Signs reserve/future pact
The Ravens signed Wright to a reserve/future contract Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Monmouth following the 2023 NFL Draft, Wright was amongst Baltimore's cuts following the preseason. He spent much of the season on the Ravens' practice squad but did get elevated for an Oct. 29 game against the Vikings in which he played eight special teams snaps.

Promoted from practice squad
The Ravens elevated Wright to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Wright was cut by the Ravens ahead of the 53-man roster deadline at the end of training camp, but he elected to join the team's practice squad Aug. 31. The move could be a precautionary one with Keaton Mitchell (hamstring) listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.
