Former Eagles tight end Dae’Quan Wright will be ineligible to play in the NFL during the 2026 season, as confirmed by a memo sent to teams. Wright, who left the NFL to return to college and play for LSU, was previously a standout at Ole Miss before being waived by the Eagles. After his brief tenure with the Eagles, where he was buried on the depth chart, the Browns claimed him off waivers but subsequently released him two weeks later. The ban stems from his unprecedented choice to leave the NFL for college football. Wright will not be permitted to try out or sign with any NFL team this season.
