Lions Rule Out Brock Wright For Saturday

The Detroit Lions have ruled out tight end Brock Wright (hip) for Saturday's game against the Dallas Cowboys due to a hip injury from Week 15. Wright couldn't practice in any fashion ahead of Week 17, serving as the writing on the wall for his inability to suit up on Saturday against Dallas. The 25-year-old is more of a blocker, posting just 13 receptions on 14 targets for 91 yards and one touchdown in 14 games this season. Detroit's rushing attack didn't appear to suffer in any way during his Week 16 absence, though, scoring three times on the ground in last Sunday's division-clinching win over the Minnesota Vikings. 2022 fifth-round pick James Mitchell should act as the Lions' No. 2 tight end behind standout rookie Sam LaPorta, but he won't carry any fantasy usability against the Cowboys.
