Scooby Wright, fortunately for the Arizona Wildcats, is sidelined just three to four weeks and not the entire season, as some may have suspected.

The "next man up" for Arizona is Haden Gregory, now listed as the starting middle linebacker on the depth chart. He's a fifth-year senior and played in six games during the 2014 season. Cody Ippolito would have been Wright's backup, but he tore his ACL during fall camp. Gregory's backup will be Antonio Smothers, Jr.
