Alabama safety post post-surgery photo prior to matchup versus Arkansas

Photo comes from Daniel Wright's Twitter

A lot is going on with Daniel Wright at this moment. 

The sophomore safety did not play in Alabama’s win of Louisiana and was not present all week during preparation for Arkansas. In Wednesday’s presser, Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban said the Florida native and former four-star was suspended for a “violation of team rules.” 

Today, a photo surfaced on Twitter via Wright’s account of him lying in a hospital bed with his right arm heavily wrapped and his left arm in a sling. He suffered a shoulder injury in fall practice; however, Saban did not specify it as a season-ending one. All he noted was that the team doctors would continue evaluating and “hopefully” he could play this season. 

Wright has played in four games and is Xavier McKinney’s backup at strong safety. 

Hopefully, he is okay and as soon as we can get more updates on his status, follow us at tdalabamamag.com as we will provide more insight.
