Seahawks SLB K.J. Wright (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 10.
Wright sustained the concussion just four snaps into the Seahawks' Week 9 win over the Vikings. Second-year man Mike Morgan will take Wright's starting spot at outside linebacker. Owners in IDP leagues will want to take a long look at OLB Leroy Hill, who will assume Wright's duties in the nickel subpackages. Hill makes for a very sneaky play in a strong fantasy matchup against the Jets. Sat, Nov 10, 2012 11:38:00 AM

K.J. Wright - LB - Seahawks

K.J. Wright is now the Seahawks' every-down SAM linebacker.

Wright took over for Aaron Curry after Week 2, but the two still rotated. Now Wright has the job all to himself after Curry was traded to Oakland. "K.J. Wright has made this possible, yeah. He’s played so well," said coach Pete Carroll. Wright has 13 tackles through five games. He's yet to cause a turnover.

K.J. Wright - LB - Seahawks

Defensive coordinator Gus Bradley confirms that K.J. Wright is working as the first-team weak-side linebacker ahead of Aaron Curry this week.

"K.J. Wright has played very well for us, especially in that first game," Bradley said. "And we just felt like we wanted to have more competition at that spot, so we're giving K.J. a chance there yesterday, and we looked him today. And we'll evaluate it the whole week."

K.J. Wright - LB - Seahawks

Seahawks selected Mississippi State LB K.J. Wright with the No. 99 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft.

An athletic playmaker with above-average size and speed, Wright recorded 98 tackles as a senior. He projects as a strong-sidelinebacker in Seattle's 4-3 scheme, though he'll spend his first year honing his linebacker instincts in practice while concentrating on special teams.
