Brock Wright Has Broken Forearm
11 months agoDetroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (forearm) apparently suffered a broken forearm in Sunday's Divisional Round win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's a tough break for Wright, as he had just come back to play against the Los Angeles Rams in the first round of the playoffs after suffering a hip injury in the Week 15 win over the Denver Broncos. Wright is now unlikely to play in the rest of the postseason. As a result, the Lions have signed veteran Zach Ertz for extra tight end depth behind rookie Sam LaPorta for the NFC Championship this Sunday night. Detroit also has Anthony Firkser as a backup option behind LaPorta. The 25-year-old Wright caught his only target for a big 29-yard gain in Sunday's win over the Bucs, and he finished the regular season with just 13 catches for 91 yards and one touchdown in his third NFL campaign.
