Dae’Quan Wright may return to Ole Miss amid NCAA lawsuit

Summary

Cleveland Browns tight end Dae’Quan Wright is now eligible to return to college football after a temporary restraining order was granted as part of a lawsuit against the NCAA. Wright, who joined the Browns recently, has been absent from training camp and is reportedly seeking a release to return to Ole Miss. This order allows other players involved in the lawsuit to join college rosters if their NFL contracts are voided by September 1. Wright's status has raised questions about his future with the Browns team, which has added two tight ends for workouts in his absence.
