Jets' Nahshon Wright: Healthy scratch for Week 3
Wright (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Wright has been limited to special-teams work through the first two games of the regular season, and he'll be a healthy scratch for Week 3 while rookie D'Angelo Ponds suits up. Wright's next chance to play is Week 4 against the Bears on Sunday, Oct. 4, though there doesn't appear to be a clear path to playing time for the sixth-year pro.

Jets' Nahshon Wright: Not listed on injury report
Wright (undisclosed) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Wright missed a few practices during camp, though it doesn't appear it was anything that will keep him off the field for Week 1. The 2021 No. 99 overall pick, who agreed to a one-year contract with the Jets in March, compiled 80 total tackles, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, five interceptions and one touchdown in 17 regular-season games for the Bears in 2025.

Jets' Nahshon Wright: Signs with New York
Wright is slated to sign a one-year contract with the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Wright lands a one-year, $5.5 million max deal after a breakout season with the Bears. The 2021 third-round pick of the Cowboys finally got a chance to start in 2025, finishing the season with 80 tackles and11 passes defensed, including five interceptions. The cornerback also forced two fumbles and recovered three, a skill the Jets' defense sorely desires after finishing at the bottom of the league in turnovers forced in 2025 (four). If Wright performs consistently with his new team, he will likely be looking at a substantially larger contract after the 2026 season.
