Wright, TE2, delivered his best blocking effort of the season as a run blocker, kicking Cardinals defenders' red tails in. He recorded an 11-yard reception, his longest of the season, which came thanks to Jameson Williams occupying three defenders running deep.PositiveUsageOct 12, 2026

Detroit tight end Brock Wright was fined $17,911 for a leg whip in the same game against Carolina.

Lions backup TE had brutal performance with pair of penalties. First drive stalled by false start penalty on first down, leading to 54-yard field goal attempt. Second penalty was unnecessary roughness that set team back 15 yards. Source notes: 'Wright had a pair of brutal penalties, an inexcusable performance for a backup tight end.' Not shining as blocker or receiver; mistakes stand out for wrong reasons.NegativeRoleSep 28, 2026
Had two short catches but continued to struggle as a pass protector, while a few run-blocking whiffs would've resulted in blown-up runs if not for some Jahmyr Gibbs magic; the source notes it's unfortunate that with the influx of blocking tight ends over the last two NFL drafts, the Lions haven't been able to capitalize on Wright's potential.NegativeUsageSep 28, 2026

The Lions' backup tight end pales in comparison to the skill sets of Bills backup tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes, who were blowing open holes in the run game.

Brock Wright had a tough night, though the source notes he wasn't put in the most advantageous positions, including a one-on-one matchup against Bills pass rusher Greg Rousseau, which was a poor scheme decision.NegativeUsageSep 18, 2026
