Lions Place Brock Wright on Injured Reserve

Thursday, December 4, 6:25 PM

The Detroit Lions announced on Thursday before their game against the Dallas Cowboys that they placed tight end Brock Wright (neck) on Injured Reserve. In corresponding moves, the team signed cornerback Nick Whiteside to the 53-man active roster from the practice squad and also elevated wide receiver Malik Cunningham from the practice squad. Wright will join Sam LaPorta (back) on IR and won't be eligible to return until the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Chicago Bears on Jan. 4. With both Wright and LaPorta sidelined, Ross Dwelley figures to see the most TE snaps for the Lions, with Anthony Firkser also being involved. Both tight ends are more of blockers than pass-catchers, though, and should be avoided in most fantasy football leagues. In last week's loss to the Packers, Dwelley and Firkser combined for two catches on four targets for just seven yards.

Eli Raridon Questionable to Return With Ankle Injury

Sunday, October 4, 11:51 AM

New England Patriots tight end Eli Raridon (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills, according to Taylor Kyles. It's a second injury concern in as many weeks for the rookie, who missed Week 3 against Jacksonville with a thigh injury. Raridon was limited in all three practices leading into Sunday and was active after carrying a questionable designation. He entered the game with two catches for 32 yards and a touchdown through his first two NFL appearances.
