On May 1, 2021, Wright signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent after the 2021 NFL Draft.[4] On October 23, 2021, Wright was activated from the practice squad by the Lions for the team's week 7 game against the Los Angeles Rams.[5] He was signed to the active roster on November 8.[6] On December 5, 2021, Wright scored his first NFL touchdown versus the Minnesota Vikings on a 23-yard pass from Jared Goff.[7]

On December 18, 2022, in a Week 15 game at the New York Jets, Wright scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 51-yard pass from Goff on 4th down and inches with 1:49 remaining in the game. The Lions held on for the 20–17 win — improving their record to 7–7 and keeping their playoff hopes alive in the NFC.[8]

As a restricted free agent in 2024, the 49ers signed Wright to a three-year, $12 million offer sheet. Five days later, the Lions matched the offer, and Wright re-signed with Detroit on April 3, 2024.[9]
