MAJOR WRIGHT RUMORS & GOSSIP

Major Wright does wrong as Brian Urlacher sprains knee

MINNEAPOLIS — It was a play that typified the Bears’ demise this season — the aggressiveness that makes the Bears’ defense what it is worked against the team Sunday. At least it seemed to when safety Major Wright saw a ball in the air in the end zone in the fourth quarter, tried to make a play and instead jumped on middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, who suffered a sprained...

Chicago Bears Safety Major Wright Needs to Step-Up

I’m very disappointed about the play of Major Wright. It started in the preseason with him missing tackles like Michael Vick misses being a dog owner. It continued with him blowing coverages and getting beat by tight ends and wide receivers alike. In other words, Wright can’t tackle or cover anyone. Not exactly what the Chicago Bears would want out of a safety. Without...
