Tampa Bay waived Wright on Sunday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Wright got a long look during the exhibition slate, as he led the team with 26 carries over three games. On those rushes, the 26-year-old gained a modest 100 yards on the ground (3.9 YPC) while scoring one touchdown. Wright was one of several Tampa Bay roster cuts Sunday, and he's a candidate to land on the team's practice squad if he clears waivers.

Buccaneers' Owen Wright: Massive volume in preseason opener
Rotowire
Wright rushed 18 times for 87 yards and a touchdown, and secured two of three targets for four yards in the Buccaneers' 29-7 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday night.
Wright officially slots in as No. 5 on the Buccaneers' depth chart for the moment, but with Bucky Irving being rested, Rachaad White exiting early with a groin injury and undrafted rookie Josh Williams dealing with a hamstring strain, he finished as Tampa Bay's leading rusher on the night. The Monmouth product, who logged one regular-season appearance with the Ravens in 2023 and spent all of 2024 on Baltimore's IR, caught the eye of head coach Todd Bowles with his ability to thrive despite the Titans' defense knowing the Bucs were going run-heavy in the second half, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. "I was especially pleased in the second half when they know you're going to run it and you can still run it," said Bowles. "That says a lot about those guys grinding in there."

Ravens' Owen Wright: Placed on IR
Rotowire
Wright (foot) was placed on injured reserve by the Ravens on Tuesday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
The running back suffered a hairline fracture to his foot during the team's final preseason game last Saturday and is expected to undergo surgery, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Wright had been a strong contender for Baltimore's third running back spot behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, but his placement on season-ending IR puts Rasheen Ali (concussion) in a position to handle that role early on.

Ravens' Owen Wright: Will get surgery for foot injury
Rotowire
Wright is expected to undergo surgery for a hairline fracture in his foot that he sustained in Saturday's preseason game against the Packers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
The injury isn't considered to be season-ending, but Zrebiec notes that the Ravens will now have to make a decision on whether to retain Wright on the roster at the conclusion of training camp. Wright was a strong contender to win the No. 3 running back spot behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, but now his spot on the Ravens' roster is in jeopardy. Between Wright's injury and Keaton Mitchell (knee) still being on the active/PUP list, the door has opened for Rasheen Ali and Chris Collier to compete for the third running back spot behind Henry and Hill as training camp winds down.

Wright was diagnosed with a broken foot following Saturday's preseason loss to the Packers, Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Wright rushed for 10 yards on three carries in Saturday's contest, but he was carted back to the locker room after injuring his foot. With Keaton Mitchell (knee) still on the active/PUP list, Wright was making a strong case toward winning the No. 3 running back job behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. However, Wright's injury from Saturday's game complicates his path toward a spot on the Ravens' 53-man roster.
