Wright

Well, that certainly isn’t ideal. Tolbert is a candidate to be dropped in re-draft leagues. Also inactive are WR Michael Gallup (ACL), LB Jabril Cox, S Israel Mukuamu, CB Nahshon Wright, S Markquese Bell, and DL John Ridgeway.

He’s the latest member of the organization to test positive for the virus. Wright has played sparingly in just two games this season.

Wright (6'4/183) was a multi-sport star in high school who had to settle for junior college offers in football. He arrived in Corvallis in 2019 after winning a junior college title in 2018. He picked off five passes across two PAC-12 campaigns, taking advantage of his imposing length against smaller college wideouts. Wright lacks high-end defensive back speed but is a ballhawk who is excellent in the air. Nevertheless, NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein has major concerns about Wright’s frame, agility and strength. He is a bit of a project whose height will keep him on 53-man rosters as he tries to fill out and improve his functional strength.
