Nahshon Wright Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys rookie cornerback Nahshon Wright has tested positive for COVID-19, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. As a result, Wright will not play on Thursday night against the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. The Cowboys now have eight players and coaches sidelined by the virus heading into this Thursday's game against the Saints. Wright and right tackle Terence Steele are the two players out. Wright has played sparingly on defense this year and has worked almost exclusively on special teams. The 23-year-old has just two solo tackles and has returned one punt in 10 games so far in his rookie season.

The Dallas Cowboys selected Oregon State cornerback Nahshon Wright with the No. 99 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Wright's size and length is what made him appealing to NFL teams at 6-foot-4, 188 pounds, but he wasn't expected to come off the board until Day 3. He'll need to do a better job of recognizing and sitting on underneath routes at the next level. Wright also lacks top-end speed, so he could struggle to cover fast receivers deeper down the field. He's clearly a developmental project in Dallas' secondary as they continue to address their defense and add depth.
