The Facts: It was at least a little curious last week when the Lions put Wright on waivers, but now we know why. The team announced this afternoon that Wright reverted to injured reserve after clearing waivers, and that he had torn his ACL.
Diehards Line:
The Lions acquired Wright in a trade with the Buccaneers (after they had previously traded him to the Patriots and later brought him back). He played in nine games last year, catching nine passes for 77 yards and two touchdowns. The Rutgers product has 13 touchdowns over his three NFL seasons. The team is counting on Eric Ebron to make a major leap this season. Fantasy owners can hope for that but shouldn't bank on it.
