Bears CB Nahshon Wright added to NFC roster for Professional Bowl Video games

“My confidence started to grow throughout OTAs and training camp,” Wright stated, “just knowing that coach Al, [defensive coordinator] Dennis Allen and [head coach] Ben [Johnson] trusted me being out there with the starters making plays. There were so many things that just fell in line for me, which I was super grateful for, but the confidence came from the coaches believing in me more so than anything.”

Prior to the 2025 marketing campaign, Wright had recorded only one interception and no fumble recoveries in 33 NFL video games over 4 seasons with the Cowboys (2021-23) and Vikings (2024). Last yr he appeared in just one recreation with Minnesota, taking part in 15 snaps on particular groups and none on protection.

“I’ve gotten better as I’ve gotten older in the league, but for me it’s always been about getting opportunities,” Wright stated. “That’s been my story throughout high school, junior college, college and the NFL now.”

Wright was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Month for November after producing 5 takeaways in 5 video games. He produced three interceptions and two fumble recoveries in serving to the Bears go 5-0 in November, the primary time they’ve gained 5 video games in any single month since November 1959.

Wright recorded one takeaway in every of the 5 wins, making him the primary Bears participant to create takeaways in 5 straight video games since no less than 1970. He intercepted Joe Flacco’s desperation move to seal a 47-42 comeback victory over the Bengals and recovered a Jaxson Dart fumble that was compelled by C.J. Gardner-Johnson, swinging the momentum within the Bears’ course in a 24-20 win over the Giants.
