Brock Wright Active for Week 11 Game Against Eagles Despite Ankle Injury

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (ankle) was active for Sunday's game in Philadelphia against the Eagles, despite being listed as questionable earlier in the week. He had been limited in practice on Thursday, November 13, 2025, and sat out practice on November 12, 2025. Wright, who signed a three-year, $12 million contract in April 2024, is known for his elite run-blocking ability, making him an invaluable asset for the Lions. While not a significant pass catcher, with a career-high of 18 receptions in 2022, he could see increased opportunities in short-yardage situations or if primary tight end Sam LaPorta is sidelined, as was the case in a January 2024 wild-card game where he was poised to be the top tight end. In recent games, he caught his lone target for 11 yards against the Vikings (Nov 2, 2025) and all three targets for 23 yards against the Buccaneers (Oct 21, 2025). His 2025 advanced stats show an 81.8% Catch Rate and 5.8 Avg Yds After Catch.
