Wright's 6 carries Sunday went for 2, 1, -3, 0, 6, and 2 yards, a pattern of minimal or negative production.

Wright's rushing performance is concerning. His 6 carries on Sunday went for 2, 1, -3, 0, 6, and 2 yards—consistently getting stopped for losses or no gain. The source questions whether the issue is vision, seeing holes, or the wide zone scheme, but acknowledges Wright has talent and hopes he can turn it around. He has made plays in the return game, providing value there, but could be a trade deadline candidate given his rushing struggles.
