The Bengals have waived/injured Wright (knee), the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Assuming Wright clears waivers, he is slated to revert to IR. The 23-year-old wideout caught five passes for 91 yards in 11 games in a reserve role for the Bengals last season.

Wright (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

With Wright out and A.J. Green doubtful for Sunday's contest, it looks like the Bengals will be forced to go with a wideout corps led by Mohamed Sanu and Brandon Tate, with Greg Little and Cobi Hamilton as on hand.

Wright (knee) did not practice Thursday, ESPN's Coley Harvey reports.

Wright thus looks iffy for Sunday's playoff game against the Colts, though in any case, until he gets a full and productive game in, the wideout is a highly speculative fantasy play.

Wright (knee) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Steelers.

As is fellow wideout Greg Little, but fortunately for the Bengals, top wideout A.J. Green will be able to play through his biceps injury on Sunday.

Wright (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, ESPN.com reports.

Wright practiced in a limited fashion all week, but even if he does suit up Sunday night, he'd be a speculative play in Week 17, with top wideout A.J. Green listed as probable for the contest.

Wright (knee) is inactive for Monday's game against Denver.

Wright was listed as a limited practice participant Saturday, offering some hope that he could return to action for this coming Sunday's season finale against the Steelers.

Wright (knee) is doubtful for Monday's game against Denver.

The reserve rookie wideout is likely out for Monday, but the fact that he logged a limited Saturday practice gives reason to hope for a Week 17 return.

Wright (knee) did not practice Friday, the Bengals' official site reports.

Wright, who has missed the Bengals' last two games, thus remains in the iffy category in advance of Monday night's game against the Broncos.

Wright (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Wright was unable to practice this week, so this deactivation was expected. After missing two straight games, he'll set his sights on trying to play in Week 16 against the Panthers.

Wright (knee) did not practice Friday and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Browns, the Bengals' official site reports.

Wright, who recorded three receptions for 59 yards in 13, is thus poised to miss his second straight outing on Sunday.

Wright (knee) didn't practice Thursday, the Bengals' official site reports.

We'll revisit Wright's status Friday, but at this stage, it doesn't look like he will be available for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Wright (knee) did not practice Wednesday, ESPN.com's Coley Harvey reports.

Wright, who sat out Sunday's game against the Steelers, remains iffy as the Bengals approach this weekend's game against the Browns.

Wright (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Steelers, the Bengals' official site reports.

Coming off a Week 13 effort in which he recorded three receptions for 59 yards against the Bucs, Wright's potential deep league utility is thus delayed by his knee issue.

Wright had his first NFL catch in Sunday's tie against the Panthers.

Wright's reception could have been huge - it was a 24-yard catch that put the Bengals in field goal position for Mike Nugent's potential winner that he instead missed as time ran out. With A.J. Green and Marvin Jones without a timetable for their return, Wright will likely suit up again next week against the Colts.

Wright (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, ESPN.com's Coley Harvey reports.

Wright is slated to serve as the Bengals' fifth receiver so long as Marvin Jones (broken foot) returns, but expect limited targets to be headed his way. He'll offer most of his utility through his contributions on special teams.

Wright (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Even if Wright had been at full health entering the season opener, the Bengals still might have made him a healthy inactive. Once his concussion symptoms subside and he's able to return to practice, Wright will likely slot in as the team's fifth receiver until Marvin Jones (foot) is deemed fit to play.

Wright beat out Cobi Hamilton for the fifth and final wide receiver spot on the Bengals' roster, the The Cincinnati Enquirer's Paul Dehner Jr. reports.

The report notes that Wright could still be released, as the Bengals may prefer their pick of other teams' unwanted players over their in-house fifth receiver. With Marvin Jones (foot) expected to return at some point before mid-season, Wright could eventually land on the practice squad, even if he sticks on the roster for the next few weeks. His role on offense will likely be minimal to non-existent, but he could contribute on special teams.

The Bengals have been impressed with seventh-round WR James Wright on offense.

It's notable because Wright was a strict special teamer at LSU. "(I) talked to him and said, 'Look, I know what you can do on special teams, now you've got to play wide receiver,'" were the words of WRs coach James Urban. "He's embraced it. ... We'll see once we get the pads on, but it's been encouraging." Despite Urban's talk, Wright's 53-man roster odds live and die with his special-teams prowess.
