LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith officially declared safety Major Wright out for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

Having suffered a sprained shoulder in the Bears' loss last week to the Kansas City Chiefs, Wright didn't practice all week, paving the way for veteran Craig Steltz to make his second start of the season.

Wright will be out along with quarterback Jay Cutler (thumb) and running back Matt Forte (knee).
