The injury bug continues to hamper the Detroit Lions as projected starting cornerback Eric Wright was injured at practice earlier today. The injury appears to be to his right leg as the UNLV alum most of the remaining practice time. Wright’s injury comes at a bad time as the Lions’ other projected corner, Chris Houston, is out with an injury as well. The Lions will be back in action this Friday when they travel to Cleveland to battle the Browns.
