Jason

Wright

Wright is battling Deandra Cobb, who didn’t play, for Atlanta’s No. 3 running back job. Wright had 19 carries for 44 yards and three catches for 36 yards.

Wright carried five times for 16 yards. Green had 19 yards on three rushes. Lee Suggs did not touch the football.

Savage told the Associated Press that Wright’s consistency in the preseason earned him the job over fifth-round rookie Jerome Harrison, who averaged 6.2 yards-per-exhibition-carry. Wright isn’t worth owning in fantasy leagues, but both backups are worth monitoring.

Wright’s inclusion is a surprise. The team’s GM called Wright their backup running back Saturday, but that obviously isn’t the case. Jerome Harrison will get snaps behind Reuben Droughns.

This one is a surprise. He was believed to be Atlanta’s third running back.

With William Green hurt, Wrigth will backup Reuben Droughns this week. He was with the Falcons in training camp.

Crennel described Wright as “not very tall, but he has excellent quickness and [is] able to change directions pretty quickly as he goes through the hole. His smarts and his quickness - those are the two things that are most noticeable about him. He can also catch the ball coming out of the backfield.”

Learn the name. With Reuben Droughns hurt, this former Falcons practice squader could start for the Browns next week. Lee Suggs and William Green are also hurt.

He rushed six times for only 13 yards. Jason Wright rushed six times for 19 yards and a touchdown, and also had 3 catches for 27 yards. Harrison’s solid receiving numbers should give him a leg-up in the competition to be Cleveland’s third-down back.

Eisen doesn’t normally break news, but his doesn’t come as a surprise, as the Browns rarely hold players completely out of Wednesday practices, then use them on Sundays. Lewis was in a protective boot during the workout, and Jason Wright looks likely to start against the Dolphins.
