Wright recorded one tackle and one interception in the Bears' 19-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Wright has four or fewer tackles in four of his last five contests and now has four interceptions this season, including three over his last five. He remains a moderate-floor IDP with interception-driven upside.

Wright recorded nine tackles in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Rotowire

Bears' Nahshon Wright: Managing hip issue
Rotowire
Wright (hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Wright intercepted a pass and played all but one defensive snap this past Sunday against the Saints, but he appears to have hurt his hip during the victory. Given that the cornerback was able to practice in limited fashion Wednesday, though, he may not be dealing with a major injury. Wright will likely enter the weekend without an injury designation if he's able to bump up to full practice participation by Friday.

Bears' Nahshon Wright: Picks off pass in victory
Rotowire
Wright posted two tackles and intercepted a pass in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Wright's interception marked his second of the season, and his two-tackle total represents the first time he has had less than four stops in four games. He remains an IDP bench option with occasional upside.
Wright recorded four tackles (four solo) in the Bears' win over the Raiders on Sunday.
With Jaylon Johnson (groin) missing most of the first four games of the season and looking at an extended absence, Wright has been serving as an every-down cornerback on the outside for Chicago. Through four games, he has 19 tackles (13 solo) and one pass breakup, including a pick-six.

Bears' Nahshon Wright: Strong tackle total in victory
Rotowire
Wright tallied nine tackles in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
With Jaylon Johnson (groin) on injured reserve, Wright moved into a starting role and immediately had a dominant IDP performance. When Chicago plays pass-heavy opponents, Wright could be a strong fantasy option.
The Bears signed Wright to a one-year contract Tuesday, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.
Wright appeared in one game for Minnesota last season, in which he played 15 snaps on special teams and saw no work on defense. The 2021 third-round pick likewise contributed more on special teams than defense during his three years with Dallas, priming him to now compete for a similar role in Chicago.

Nahshon Wright: Let go by Minnesota
Rotowire
The Vikings released Wright on Monday.
Minnesota traded for Wright last August in a deal with Dallas for Andrew Booth. Wright ended up playing in just one game for the Vikings, logging 15 snaps on special teams and none on defense. He played more on special teams than on defense during his three years with the Cowboys as well and would likely be asked to accept a similar role if he lands with another organization.
