Major Wright will undergo surgery on his injured finger Tuesdy.
Chicago Bears rookie Major Wright is scheduled to undergo surgery on his left index finger Tuesday after injuring in it last Saturday against the San Diego Chargers.
He has already been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Oakland Raiders, but should be back in time for the regular season opener against the Detroit Lions on Sept. 12.
Wright has been making waves in Bears training camp thus far and should eventually wind up in as the team’s starting safety.
Whether or not he will be the starter in Week 1 depends on how quickly he can return from the surgery according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune.
In the meantime, Danieal Manning will remain in the starting role.
