MINNEAPOLIS -- After setting career highs with 42 catches and 588 yards in 2014, Jarius Wright began his fourth season with the Minnesota Vikings looking like he'd be an integral part of an improved passing game.
The Vikings rewarded him with a four-year, $14.8 million contract extension four days before the season opener, and with Adrian Peterson back in the backfield, the thoughts were that Wright and the rest of the Vikings' receivers would find favorable matchups behind defensive fronts committed to stopping the running back.
Eleven games into the 2015 season, it's a much different story for the 26-year-old.
