Bears RT Darnell Wright exits to be evaluated for right arm/elbow issue
Wright left Tuesday's practice to be checked by trainers on his right arm — the same arm that cost him part of last season with a torn UCL — after appearing to remove his brace on the sideline.
The Bears may have a familiar scare on their hands. Right tackle Darnell Wright left Tuesday's practice to be evaluated by trainers for an issue with his right arm — the same arm that cost him part of last season with a torn UCL.

Brad Biggs reported the athletic training staff was looking at the elbow area of Wright's right arm, and Wright later headed into the building with trainer Andre Tucker. Kaitlin Fishbain noted they removed the brace Wright wears on that arm on the sideline before he went inside.

The concern is the history: Wright tore his right UCL in the 2025 season, so any setback in that arm draws immediate attention. He had been working at right tackle with the starters, and the Bears can ill afford a prolonged absence on an offensive line already managing several moving parts. How much he practices the rest of the week will be the first real signal of severity.
