Cleveland Browns TE Dae’Quan Wright faces legal ruling setback
Summary

Cleveland Browns tight end Dae’Quan Wright's return to college football may be uncertain after a legal ruling paused his case. On August 21, the Tenth Circuit granted the NCAA’s stay request, impacting Wright’s eligibility for a federal fifth season. Initially, he had entered the NCAA's transfer portal while trying to finalize his outlook after being added to the Browns' roster on August 11. The team remains supportive, keeping him on the 90-man roster as they evaluate his potential return to practice ahead of the preseason's third game.
