With Kenny Britt's comeback from knee surgery expected to proceed slowly, it's important for Wright, the 20th pick overall in April's draft, to be ready to go in Week 1. It appears he's making considerable progress. OC Chris Palmer recently added more to Wright's workload by teaching him additional receiver positions.
