Kendall Wright has dropped 14 pounds this offseason after playing near 201 as a rookie.
Wright is listed at 196. "I just started taking care of my body and eating right," Wright said. 201 pounds is a bit bulky for a 5-foot-10 receiver, but 187 is about right. The weight Wright plays at this season shouldn't be a perceptible factor in his production. He'll likely tip the scales somewhere in the 190s. Wright is expected to be a "significant" part of the Titans' game-plan after posting a lukewarm 64/626/4 line last season. May 17 - 10:08 AM

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Kendall Wright is expected to be a "significant" part of new Titans offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains' 2013 plans.

Wright ranked second on the team in receiving yards (626) as a rookie and tied for the lead in touchdown catches (4), but ultimately disappointed in the box score. It seemed to us like old OC Chris Palmer tried to use Wright as a space player, but it didn't work out. Wright's bread and butter at Baylor was vertical bombs from RG3, as he created consistent separation from defensive backs.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Kendall Wright caught two passes for 40 yards in the Titans' Week 17 win over the Jaguars.

Wright, the 20th overall pick in April's draft, showed toughness and quick recover-ability by returning in just two weeks after a Week 15 cracked rib. He wound up leading the Titans in receptions (64), although his yardage (626) and touchdown (4) totals underwhelmed as Wright was utilized primarily as an underneath, screen-route and ultimately possession receiver. He was a bombs-away vertical threat at Baylor. Pending competent quarterback play, look for Wright's ascension to begin in year two, establishing himself as the No. 2 or even No. 1 pass option in Tennessee's offense with Kenny Britt as his primary "competition" for the top spot.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Kendall Wright (ribs) is expected to play in Week 17 despite being listed as questionable on the injury report.

The Titans are taking on the Jaguars in their season finale. Wright practiced fully on both Thursday and Friday and will be in the lineup, occupying his usual spot in all three-receiver sets alongside Kenny Britt and Nate Washington.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Titans receivers coach Dave Ragone said rookie WR Kendall Wright is "just scratching the surface" in 2012.

After being taken No. 20 overall in this past year's draft, Wright's season has been a bit underwhelming. Sure, he's caught 62 passes, but the 9.5 YPR average is poor. Ragone chalks it up to Wright learning to play the "X" receiver spot when he first arrived in Tennessee, before then switching sides and learning to play a different position. Wright has typically only been targeted on slants and screens in 2012, but the Titans know he can go deep. There just weren't enough balls to go around. Jake Locker's scattershot arm also didn't help the situation. "I think he comes in here next year as a much more confident guy, knowing he can beat NFL defenders," added Ragone.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Updating a previous item, Kendall Wright (ribs) practiced in full on Thursday.

Wright will be good to go for Sunday's regular season finale against the Jaguars. The rookie checks in as Rotoworld's No. 48 receiver for Week 17. Wright has been mainly used on screens and short slant patterns in his rookie season. He's been unable to break many big gains.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Kendall Wright (ribs) practiced on Thursday and is expected to play this week against the Jaguars.

Wright was an inactive for Week 16, but he's right on track to suit up. The rookie first-round pick caught five passes for 48 yards in the previous meeting between the two teams in Week 12. Wright is averaging just 9.5 YPR on 62 grabs this year.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Kendall Wright (ribs) returned to Titans practice Wednesday, getting in a limited session.

It puts Wright on track to return for Sunday's finale after he sat out in Week 16. Averaging 4.4 catches for 41.9 yards, the No. 20 pick will be putting the capper on an inconsistent rookie campaign against the Jaguars.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Titans coach Mike Munchak expects Kendall Wright to return from his rib injury in Week 17 against the Jaguars.

Wright didn't practice last week, but was listed as questionable and at least close to playing. In Tennessee's spread-the-wealth passing game, he'll slot back into the three-man committee of Wright, Kenny Britt, and Nate Washington.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Titans declared WR Kendall Wright (rib) inactive for Sunday's Week 16 game against the Packers.

Look for Kenny Britt to see a significant boost in targets, especially during a game the Titans project to be trailing in. Nate Washington will operate in all two-wide sets and Damien Williams is a desperation flier as the No. 3 wideout. The rest of the Titans' inactives: C Kevin Matthews, QB Rusty Smith, CB Ryan Mouton, LB Colin McCarthy, T Michael Otto and DE Scott Solomon.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Kendall Wright (ribs) is listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Packers.

Wright didn't practice at all this week, however, and the Tennessee beat writers fully expect him to miss Week 16. There is some hope that Wright could return from his cracked rib for the Titans' regular season finale.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Titans WR Kendall Wright (cracked rib) is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Packers, but could return for Week 17.

Wright sat out of Wednesday's practice. Although it sounds like the Titans will hold off on placing their first-round pick on injured reserve, there's little reason to believe they'll risk further injury by rushing him back for next week's meaningless finale. If Wright's done for 2012, he'll finish his rookie year with a middle-of-the-road 62/586/4 line.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Titans WR Kendall Wright said he sustained at least one cracked rib during Monday night's win over the Jets.

Wright went up high for a deep ball in the fourth quarter and ended up taking a knee to the ribs from Antonio Cromartie on the way down. He said he heard and felt a crack. "At that point, they wanted to get an X-ray and it didn't look too good," he said. If Wright misses the final two games, Nate Washington will see a boost in snaps.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Kendall Wright caught three passes for 31 yards before leaving Monday night's Week 15 win over the Jets with a rib injury.

Wright was targeted just four times on the night before exiting in the second half after a deep incompletion where he landed hard on his ribs. The rookie receiver wasn't a factor after that play. Wright doesn't bring a whole lot to the table as a deep threat right now, so he possesses no fantasy value for Week 16 against the Packers.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Kendall Wright caught five passes for 39 yards in Tennessee's Week 14 loss to the Colts.

Wright was targeted nine times on the afternoon, but Jake Locker missed him, along with Nate Washington on a separate occasion, on an end zone throw. Tennessee is trying to get Wright in space, but it's not amounting to much on the stat sheet. The rookie doesn't offer much fantasy value outside of deeper PPR leagues.
