Cleveland Browns defensive end Alex Wright will miss the entire 2026 season after suffering a ruptured Achilles during a joint practice with the Buffalo Bills. The injury occurred during a one-on-one drill, forcing him to leave the field on a cart. In response, the Browns signed veteran defensive end Derek Barnett to a one-year contract, while Isaiah McGuire may start opposite Jared Verse. Wright, a third-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, had recently signed a three-year, $33 million extension.
