Tim Wright, one of the most popular players for the Scarlet Knights who played only two seasons before moving on to the NFL has been placed on injured reserve by the Detroit Lions after suffering an injury to his knee.
First reported by NBC Sports last week, Tim received the waiver with injury designation by the Lions, after being shuffled between the Patriots and Buccaneers and finally traded to the Lions last August.
Earlier this year, Wright had resigned with the Lions after they decided not to offer him a restricted free-agent contract. The tight end scored 13 touchdowns over his first three seasons in the NFL.
