Browns' Alex Wright Out for Season with Torn Triceps
The defensive end's injury leaves Cleveland's pass-rush depth significantly weakened.
- Alex Wright, a third-year defensive end for the Cleveland Browns, will miss the rest of the 2024 NFL season due to a torn triceps requiring surgery.
- Wright initially sustained the injury during joint practices in August and confirmed the severity after a second MRI following Week 2.
- Despite reduced playing time this season, Wright managed to record eight tackles and one sack, contributing notably to the team's defense.
- His absence will place increased pressure on Myles Garrett, Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, and Za’Darius Smith to maintain the Browns' pass-rushing capabilities.
- The Browns are exploring options like Isaiah McGuire and Sam Kamara to fill the gap left by Wright's injury.
