It's been a rough season for Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright. After being sidelined for two games with a knee ailment, he's dealing with a new issue that's expected to keep him out even longer.

Wright will miss "several weeks" after suffering a right foot sprain versus UCLA on Saturday, head coach Rich Rodriguez announced Monday. Rodriguez noted that Wright landed wrong on his foot during the game.

It's a big loss for the Wildcats, as Wright emerged last year as one of the country's best defenders. He led the nation in tackles, tackles for loss, and forced fumbles in 2014.

Arizona dropped to 3-1 following Saturday's loss to the Bruins and there are injury concerns on the offensive side of the ball as well. Quarterback Anu Solomon is dealing with a concussion, and his status is up in the air for Saturday's clash with Stanford.
