K.J. Wright, who played the last two games at middle linebacker in place of the injured Bobby Wagner, will move back to this usual outside linebacker position this Sunday against the Oakland Raiders, the Associated Press reports.

Wright, who played the last two games at middle linebacker in place of the injured Bobby Wagner, will move back to this usual outside linebacker position this Sunday against the Raiders, the Associated Press reports.

Analysis:

Wright's OLB replacement, Malcolm Smith, suffered a groin injury last week, so Wright will go back to his usual spot and rookie Brock Coyle will start in the middle. Wright's production was about the same in the middle as it was on the outside this year. He averages seven tackles per game.
