The Chicago Bears announced that rookie safety Major Wright will undergo surgery on his fractured left index finger on Tuesday.

Chosen in the third-round of the 2010 NFL Draft out of Florida, Wright is projected to start at strong safety for the Bears this season. Wright posted seven tackles in the pre-season opener against the San Diego Chargers on Saturday night.

Wright has been ruled out for Saturday night's pre-season game against the Oakland Raiders, but the Bears expect Wright to be ready for the season-opener. Bears safety Craig Steltz (ankle) and quarterback Caleb Hanie (shoulder) also will not play against Oakland.
