Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright told Fox Sports on Saturday night he expects to play in the Wildcats’ bowl game.
Wright, who has missed almost all of the 2015 season while recovering from a sprained right foot, told the website that he started running about a week ago, and that he’s working on gaining strength in his foot and lateral quickness.
A year ago, Wright, an All-American, won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, the Rotary Lombardi Award and the Chuck Bednarik Award, which all given annually to the nation's top defender.
In Wright absence, the Wildcats are ranked No. 121 in total defense. They are allowing 463 yards per game and 35.7 points per game.
