Chicago Bears right tackle Darnell Wright exited Tuesday's training camp practice with an apparent elbow injury, which raised concerns about one of the team's most important players on offense.
Wright went to the sideline after a team period, where he was having his arm looked at by trainer Andre Tucker. Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs noted it was the same elbow where he suffered a torn UCL last season. But an initial report sounds encouraging.
According to ESPN's Courtney Cronin, Wright is "fine" after leaving practice on Tuesday. With a light practice scheduled for Wednesday morning, we'll see if Wright is out at practice, which would be encouraging.
The Bears have a light practice at 11 a.m. before they'll fly to Tennessee for a joint practice with
the Titans on Thursday. I'm told that Darnell Wright is 'fine' after leaving practice early yesterday with what looked like an elbow injury. We'll see if he's out there today. https://t.co/dzPIBhHTEg

When Wright exited practice, it was Theo Benedet, who's entrenched in the competition for the starting left tackle job, who took his place with the first-team offense.
The Bears signed Wright to a four-year, $116 million contract extension earlier this month, locking him in through the 2030 season. The former 10th overall pick has been instrumental to the offensive line's success, and head coach Ben Johnson has said on several occasions that the offense runs through Wright on the right side.
