Saints' Jeremiah Wright: Plays in preseason opener
Rotowire
Wright (shoulder) played in Saturday's 24-20 preseason loss to the Jaguars.
Wright was dealing with a shoulder injury at practice leading up to the contest, but he was ultimately able to give it a go. The 24-year-old was on the field for 68 percent of the team's offensive snaps in the game, and he appears to be on track to operate as a top reserve at offensive guard with New Orleans this season.

Saints' Jeremiah Wright: Heads to New Orleans

The Saints selected Wright in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 132nd overall.
Wright worked on both the offensive and defensive lines during his six-year college career at Auburn before settling as the team's starter at right guard in 2024 and 2025. He has the strength to overpower opposing defenders and anchor an offensive line, but he'll need to work on his technique and skill to keep up with NFL-level defenses. Wright figures to work in a reserve role at guard behind Cesar Ruiz and David Edwards, with veteran Dillon Radunz also in the mix.
