Buccaneers Elevate Running Back Owen Wright to Active Roster Amid Injury Woes

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed running back Owen Wright from their practice squad to the active roster, addressing critical depth needs. This move comes as Bucky Irving is sidelined with foot and shoulder injuries, and Josh Williams is suspended. Wright will join Rachaad White and Sean Tucker, forming the Buccaneers' trio of active running backs for Sunday's game against the Bills. Wright initially joined the team for training camp, was released, and then re-signed to the practice squad on October 7. He had previously been elevated for Week 6 and Week 7 games, playing one offensive snap and eight special teams snaps without a run or target. During the preseason, Wright led the team with 100 rushing yards and a touchdown on 26 carries, adding four receptions for 12 yards and a 25-yard kickoff return.
