“With two running backs injured, Bucs are signing former Ravens RB Owen Wright, who worked out for them Wednesday and was a tryout player at rookie minicamp. Once had 89 yards and a TD vs. Bucs in 2023 preseason game.”

After going undrafted in 2023, Owen Wright joined the Baltimore Ravens as a free agent. He initially made the practice squad after being waived, but got a promotion to the active roster on October 28, 2023. Wright signed a new contract with the Ravens in January 2024, only to be placed on injured reserve in August 2024. The Ravens did not tender him on offer making him a free agent in June of this year.
