Bears' Darnell Wright working to stop ‘shooting himself in the foot' with ‘rookie mistakes'

TAMPA, Fla. -- Darnell Wright knows he has what it takes to thrive in the NFL. The Bears first-round rookie right tackle has faced two tough tests right out of the gate in Green Bay Packers edge rusher Rashan Gary and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Shaq Barrett.

In two games, Wright has allowed seven pressures and one sack in 89 pass-block snaps, per Pro Football Focus.

Offensive line coach Chris Morgan said Wright's debut was full of teaching tape. Wright feels like he is improving, but there's a lot he has to work on, with the bulk of it coming between the ears.
