Trevon Diggs DAL CB
Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Headed to IR
6m agoThe Cowboys placed Diggs (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
Diggs has been dealing with a bevy of injuries this season that have limited his availability, and he's slated to undergo season-ending surgery to repair a knee cartilage issue. The 26-year-old still doesn't have a date set for when he'll undergo this procedure, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com. No matter what, he's expected to have a long recovery timeline, which could impact his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign. In 11 games this season, Diggs totaled 52 tackles and 11 passes defended, including two interceptions. DaRon Bland and Amani Oruwariye should slot in as Dallas' starting cornerbacks for the final three games of this season.
-
Chase Young NO DE
Saints' Chase Young: Clear for Monday
12m agoYoung (illness) does not carry a designation ahead of Monday's game against the Packers.
Young missed practice Thursday and Friday with an illness before returning as full participant Saturday. The 2020 No. 2 overall pick has been productive in his first season with New Orleans, tallying 25 tackles, including 5.5 sacks, and two passes defended. He should reprise his role as the team's top rotational edge rusher behind Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson on Monday.
-
Ke'Shawn Vaughn SF RB
49ers' Ke'Shawn Vaughn: Elevated to active roster
16m agoThe 49ers elevated Vaughn from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game at Miami, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Vaughn was elevated from the practice squad for the third week in a row. The fifth-year running back totaled two carries over this span, and, while he didn't see any action on offense last week, he'll likely have to serve as RB3 or RB2 versus the Dolphins. Last week's starter Isaac Guerendo has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, leaving Patrick Taylor and Israel Abanikanda as the top candidates to step up as RB1. Over two games with the 49ers, It's likely that Vaughn will provide some extra depth behind Taylor and Abanikanda on Sunday.
-
Javon Bullard GB SAF
Packers' Javon Bullard: Won't play Monday
34m agoBullard (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game versus the Saints.
Bullard missed last Sunday's win over the Seahawks with an ankle injury, which also kept him sidelined during practice Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week. The rookie safety will now turn his attention toward getting healthy for the matchup versus Minnesota on Sunday, Dec. 29. With Bullard out and fellow rookie Evan Williams (quad) listed as questionable, it's possible that core special-teamer Zayne Anderson will have to step into a starting role opposite free safety Xavier McKinney.
-
Jaire Alexander GB CB
Packers' Jaire Alexander: Questionable for MNF
39m agoAlexander (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against New Orleans.
Alexander has been battling a PCL injury that's kept him sidelined for each of the last four weeks. The 27-year-old participated in full for three straight days during Week 16 prep, though he's clearly still not fully healthy. Should Alexander end up sitting out for the fifth game in a row, then Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine and Eric Stokes would likely slot in as the Packers top three cornerbacks.
-
Evan Williams GB SAF
Packers' Evan Williams: Pops up with injury Saturday
43m agoWilliams is questionable for Monday's game against the Saints with a quad injury.
Williams did not appear on Green Bay's practice report Thursday or Friday before showing up as a limited participant Saturday. The rookie safety has quickly stepped into a significant role in the secondary this season, tallying 49 tackles and three passes defended over 13 appearances. With fellow rookie Javon Bullard (ankle) already ruled out, then defensive backs Zayne Anderson and Keisean Nixon will likely step up into bigger roles if Williams ultimately ends up inactive.
-
Jaren Hall SEA QB
Seahawks' Jaren Hall: Signed to active roster
1h agoThe Seahawks signed Hall to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday.
Hall was elevated as the from the practice squad to serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback in each of the last two games. Starting quarterback Geno Smith is coming off a knee injury suffered during last week's loss to the Packers, so it appears that Seattle wants some extra depth for this Sunday's matchup against Minnesota. Smith doesn't have an injury heading into this contest, but Hall and Sam Howell will be on standby in case the starter has to come out any point versus the Vikings.
-
C.J. Stroud HOU QB
Texans' C.J. Stroud: Two TDs, two INTs in Week 16 loss
2h agoStroud completed 23 of 39 passes for 244 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs. He added two rushing attempts for 23 yards.
Stroud bounced back from an interception on the opening drive by driving the Texans into the red zone before settling for a field goal on the second possession and finally breaking through for a 10-yard touchdown pass to Dalton Schultz on the third drive. He was picked off again late in the first half, which helped the Chiefs take a 17-10 lead into the locker room. Stroud then threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Tank Dell in the third quarter, on which Dell suffered a serious knee injury which left the quarterback visibly distraught. Houston's offense seemed shaken the rest of the way and didn't get particularly close to tying the game down the stretch despite it being a one-score game the entire fourth quarter. Stroud will have to get by with limited talent at wide receiver behind Nico Collins on Christmas against a beatable Baltimore secondary.
-
Patrick Mahomes KC QB
Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Rushing TD proves ankle is fine
2h agoMahomes completed 28 of 41 passes for 260 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans. He also rushed five times for 33 yards and a touchdown.
Mahomes quickly demonstrated that the ankle sprain he suffered in the Week 15 win over the Browns isn't inhibiting his ability to run, as he scrambled for a 12-yard gain on Kansas City's eighth offensive play and added a 15-yard rushing touchdown three plays later. The star quarterback tacked on an eight-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Worthy in the third quarter as Kansas City improved to 14-1. The Chiefs need one win over their last two games or a Buffalo loss to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a first-round bye. Unless the Bills lose to the 3-11 Patriots on Sunday, Mahomes won't be rested against the Steelers on Christmas.
-
Spencer Rattler NO QB
Saints' Spencer Rattler: Officially starting for Carr
3h agoRattler will start Monday at Green Bay with Derek Carr (left hand) ruled out for the contest, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Interim coach Darren Rizzi implied as much Thursday but still left the door open for Carr to prove his health as the week went on. However, Carr hasn't made enough progress in his recovery, allowing Rattler his fourth career start. In five appearances overall in his rookie campaign, Rattler has completed 69 of 120 passes (57.5 percent) for 706 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, recorded nine carries for 61 yards and committed three fumbles (two lost). Jake Haener will serve as Rattler's backup Monday.
-
Derek Carr NO QB
Saints' Derek Carr: Ruled out for Week 16
3h agoInterim coach Darren Rizzi said Saturday that Carr (hand) "hasn't progressed enough" and has been ruled out for Monday's game in Green Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
In particular, Carr still is regaining strength in his left, non-throwing hand that sustained a fracture back in Week 14 at the Giants, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. With Carr out for a second game in a row, the Saints will turn to Spencer Rattler under center Monday, while Jake Haener will serve as his backup. Carr's next opportunity to suit up is Sunday, Dec. 29 versus the Raiders.
-
Kirk Cousins ATL QB
Falcons' Kirk Cousins: Expected to be cut in offseason
4h agoCousins is expected to be cut by the Falcons before his $10 million roster bonus is due March 17, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.
Cousins has been demoted to the backup role behind rookie first-round pick Michael Penix ahead of Atlanta's Week 16 game against the Giants. The veteran quarterback lost his starting role after posting a 1:9 TD:INT in his last five starts. Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million contract with the Falcons prior to the 2024 season, but Atlanta appears ready to move forward with Penix while eating the remainder of Cousins' $100 million guarantee.
-
Ke'Shawn Vaughn SF RB
49ers' Ke'Shawn Vaughn: Elevated to active roster
16m agoThe 49ers elevated Vaughn from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game at Miami, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Vaughn was elevated from the practice squad for the third week in a row. The fifth-year running back totaled two carries over this span, and, while he didn't see any action on offense last week, he'll likely have to serve as RB3 or RB2 versus the Dolphins. Last week's starter Isaac Guerendo has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, leaving Patrick Taylor and Israel Abanikanda as the top candidates to step up as RB1. Over two games with the 49ers, It's likely that Vaughn will provide some extra depth behind Taylor and Abanikanda on Sunday.
-
Kareem Hunt KC RB
Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Far more productive than Pacheco
1h agoHunt had 11 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 24 yards in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans.
Hunt outplayed Isiah Pacheco, who turned nine carries and two targets into just 25 scrimmage yards. The former scored a three-yard touchdown in the second quarter and probably could have scored a 33-yard touchdown on his final carry in the fourth but slid down after 20 yards so Kansas City could run out the clock. Pacheco has struggled in his four games back from a fractured fibula, so Hunt's likely to see significant usage again Wednesday against the Steelers.
-
Isiah Pacheco KC RB
Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Outplayed by Hunt in Week 16
2h agoPacheco had nine carries for 26 yards while catching one of two targets for minus-1 yard in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans.
Pacheco got the majority of touches in Kansas City's backfield early on but didn't find much success, so Kareem Hunt got more involved as the game went along. Hunt was far more effective, producing 79 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and three targets. Pacheco's still searching for his first score since Week 1, though a fractured fibula suffered in Week 2 has limited him to only six appearances this season. Hunt and Pacheco will likely continue to split carries against the Steelers on Christmas.
-
Justice Hill BAL RB
Ravens' Justice Hill: Out due to concusson
2h agoHill has been ruled out during Saturday's contest against the Steelers due to a concussion.
Hill's head hit violently against the ground after taking a tough hit following a 25-yard run in the second quarter. With Keaton Mitchell a healthy inactive, rookie Rasheen Ali is the only other healthy running back behind Derrick Henry.
-
Joe Mixon HOU RB
Texans' Joe Mixon: Late-season fade continues
2h agoMixon rushed 14 times for 57 yards and caught one of two targets for 14 yards in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs.
Kansas City came into Saturday's game having allowed the fewest rushing yards in the NFL to running backs, so Mixon's modest stat line isn't particularly surprising. This game continued an alarming trend, as Mixon has posted 71 total yards or fewer without a touchdown in three of his last four games. Prior to this downturn, he had at least 90 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in seven of eight appearances. Getting back on track won't be easy for the workhorse running back on Christmas against Baltimore's stout run defense.
-
Michael Carter ARI RB
Cardinals' Michael Carter: Up from practice squad
2h agoThe Cardinals elevated Carter from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
With Emari Demercado (back) on injured reserve, Trey Benson (ankle) ruled out for Week 16 action and DeeJay Dallas (illness) listed as questionable, there's a chance Carter will serve as the direct backup to James Conner on Sunday at Carolina. Dallas likely will need to be inactive for Carter to get much, if any, run, but he's poised for his first game action of the campaign. In 45 career contests between the Jets and Cardinals, Carter has averaged 4.2 yards on his 291 carries, hauled in 101 of 140 targets for 714 yards and scored eight total touchdowns.
-
Ben Skowronek PIT WR
Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Back in Saturday's game
1h agoSkowronek (hip) returned to Saturday's game at Baltimore, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Skowronek picked up a hip injury in the first half but rejoined the Steelers offense after halftime. He'll look to build upon the two catches (on two targets) for 25 yards that he had accrued before leaving the contest.
-
Tank Dell HOU WR
Texans' Tank Dell: Dislocates kneecap Saturday
1h agoDell suffered an apparent dislocated kneecap in his left leg during Saturday's loss at Kansas City, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Dell was injured as he reeled in a 30-yard touchdown from QB C.J. Stroud in the middle of the third quarter. He remained on the turf for some time as medical staff immobilized his left leg in an air cast before carting him off the field and transporting him to a Kansas City area hospital, where he's expected to remain overnight, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Per Rapoport, doctors still are determining the overall damage to Dell's left knee, and while surgery is a possibility, it has yet to occur.
-
Xavier Worthy KC WR
Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: TD among career-high seven catches
2h agoWorthy caught seven of 11 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown while rushing three times for 10 yards in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans.
Worthy just missed catching a 24-yard touchdown pass late in the first half, failing to get his second foot down inbounds in the end zone as he tried to secure the catch. He also hurt his ankle just before halftime but returned for the second half and proceeded to set a new career high in catches while leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. The rookie made no mistake with another chance to score in the third quarter, recording an eight-yard touchdown reception for his eighth total touchdown through 15 games. Even with fellow speedster Hollywood Brown (shoulder) back in the fold, Worthy's poised to maintain a prominent role in Kansas City's offense against the Steelers on Christmas.
-
Marquise Brown KC WR
Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Five catches in season debut
2h agoBrown caught five of eight targets for 45 yards in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans.
Brown made his long-awaited regular-season Chiefs debut, which was put on hold by a shoulder injury suffered in the preseason. His first contribution was a notable one, as Brown's 12-yard catch on fourth-and-1 extended Kansas City's opening drive, which eventually ended in a Patrick Mahomes rushing touchdown. The speedy wideout wound up leading the team in first-half receiving yards with 38 but tacked on just seven yards after halftime. Brown will look to keep building chemistry with Mahomes against the Steelers on Wednesday.
-
Nico Collins HOU WR
Texans' Nico Collins: Middling numbers despite 10 targets
2h agoCollins caught seven of 10 targets for 60 yards in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs.
Collins played second fiddle to Tank Dell, who had 98 receiving yards and a touchdown prior to exiting due to a serious knee injury, which Dell suffered while catching a 30-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Kansas City's talented secondary focused on Collins throughout the afternoon, limiting the star wideout to his third-lowest yardage total of the season. As the clear No. 1 target in Houston's passing game, Collins should find more room to operate on Christmas against a Ravens defense that has struggled to defend the pass.
-
Ben Skowronek PIT WR
Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Injures hip
2h agoSkowronek is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Steelers after suffering a hip injury.
Skowronek surprisingly had two critical first-down receptions on Pittsburgh's lone first-quarter scoring drive. Expect Scotty Miller and Calvin Austin to see more snaps in Skowronek's absence.
-
Dalton Schultz HOU TE
Texans' Dalton Schultz: Scores TD in Saturday's loss
2h agoSchultz caught five of eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs.
Schultz finished second on the team in targets behind Nico Collins (10), and Schultz will likely work as the team's second option in the passing game moving forward, as wide receiver Tank Dell exited due to a serious knee injury. The tight end scored his second touchdown of the season on a 10-yard catch in the second quarter. Both of those scores have come in the last three games after Schultz started the season on a 12-game touchdown drought. Schultz's arrow is pointing up ahead of a Christmas matchup with the Ravens.
-
Travis Kelce KC TE
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Slump continues in Week 16 win
2h agoKelce caught five of seven targets for 30 yards in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans.
Kelce had 15 receiving yards in each half. His touchdown drought now sits at six games, and Kelce has 45 or fewer receiving yards in each of his last three outings. The slumping tight end won't have to wait long to try to get back on track, as the Chiefs will be right back in action Wednesday against the Steelers for a Christmas Day matinee.
-
Luke Musgrave GB TE
Packers' Luke Musgrave: Questionable, still on IR
3h agoMusgrave (ankle), who remains on injured reserve, is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Saints, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
For a second week in a row, Musgrave operated with a cap on his practice reps, but this time around he actually has a chance to play for the first time since Week 4. He'll need to be activated by 4:00 p.m. ET on Monday to get back on the active roster, and the Packers then will be required to post a list of inactives about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, which he'll need to avoid to be available again to Green Bay's offense.
-
Juwan Johnson NO TE
Saints' Juwan Johnson: Ready for Monday
3h agoJohnson (foot) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Packers.
Johnson practiced in full Saturday clearing the way for the veteran tight end to play Monday. With Chris Olave (concussion) and Bub Means (ankle) out, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest/illness) listed as questionable despite failing to practice all week, Johnson might be the de-facto top target for backup quarterback Spencer Rattler.
-
Cade Otton TB TE
Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Predictably ruled out
3h agoOtton (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
This was predictable as Otton was listed as doubtful following Friday's final injury report. Given the starting end won't travel with the team to Dallas, Payne Durham, Ko Kieft and Devin Culp will likely act as a positional platoon in an effort to replace Otton's multi-faceted capabilities.
-
John Samuel Shenker LV TE
Raiders' John Samuel Shenker: Up from practice squad for Week 16
4h agoShenker was elevated from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Shenker's set to make his sixth appearance of the season. He has just one catch for seven yards over the previous five.
-
Zane Gonzalez WAS K
Commanders' Zane Gonzalez: Available against Eagles
3h agoGonzalez will kick Sunday against the Eagles, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Gonzalez missed practice Wednesday to attend the birth of his child, but he's available to suit up Sunday. Greg Joseph wasn't elevated from Washington's practice squad, confirming Gonzalez's availability. Gonzalez has made three of five field-goal attempts and all 10 PAT tries in three appearances for Washington this season.
-
Brayden Narveson TEN K
Titans' Brayden Narveson: Signed by Titans off practice squad
4h agoNarveson was signed by Tennessee from the practice squad Saturday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
The decision to sign Narveson to the active roster rather than just elevate him from the practice squad may suggest the Titans anticipate having to use him Sunday against the Colts. Usual kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) is expected to be a game-time decision. A decision on Folk's status, and by extension Narveson's role or lack thereof, will come around 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
-
Brayden Narveson TEN K
Brayden Narveson: Likely to be elevated Saturday
1d agoThe Titans are expected to elevate Narveson from the practice Saturday to serve as an emergency option in case Nick Folk (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's contest at Indianapolis, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Folk managed just one limited practice (Friday) this week and is listed as questionable due to an abdominal injury. Coach Brian Callahan told Turron Davenport of ESPN.com earlier Friday that Folk will be a game-time call, so the Titans' kicker for Week 16 likely will become known about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Narveson was signed to the practice squad Tuesday, which marked his first opportunity since handling kicking duties for the first six games of the season for the Packers. Overall, he was perfect on PATs (16-for-16) but erratic with field goals, connecting on only 12 of 17 attempts.
-
Matt Gay IND K
Colts' Matt Gay: Questionable for Week 16
1d agoGay (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.
After logging a pair of DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, Gay was able to practice fully Friday, suggesting he's looking good for Sunday. After a down 2023 season in which he made just 80.5 percent of his field-goal attempts, Gay has righted the ship again this season, making 24 of 27 field-goal attempts and all 23 of his extra-point tries. The Colts don't currently employ another kicker.
-
Matt Prater ARI K
Cardinals' Matt Prater: Won't return Sunday
1d agoPrater (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Carolina, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Since the Cardinals designated Prater for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he managed three consecutive limited practices, but it wasn't enough for him to get back on the active roster for Week 16 action. He'll thus miss his 12th straight game due to a torn left meniscus, while Chad Ryland will continue to operate as Arizona's placekicker.
-
Nick Folk TEN K
Titans' Nick Folk: Likely to be game-time call
1d agoCoach Brian Callahan said Friday that Folk (abdomen) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Colts, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
The Titans are expected to have Brayden Narveson elevated from the practice squad as insurance should Folk be unable to kick versus Indianapolis. Folk has been nearly automatic this season, making 21 of 22 field-goal attempts (95.5 percent) and all 25 of his extra-point tries. He's been the Titans' best means of scoring in 2024.
-
Trevon Diggs DAL CB
Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Headed to IR
6m agoThe Cowboys placed Diggs (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
Diggs has been dealing with a bevy of injuries this season that have limited his availability, and he's slated to undergo season-ending surgery to repair a knee cartilage issue. The 26-year-old still doesn't have a date set for when he'll undergo this procedure, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com. No matter what, he's expected to have a long recovery timeline, which could impact his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign. In 11 games this season, Diggs totaled 52 tackles and 11 passes defended, including two interceptions. DaRon Bland and Amani Oruwariye should slot in as Dallas' starting cornerbacks for the final three games of this season.
-
Chase Young NO DE
Saints' Chase Young: Clear for Monday
12m agoYoung (illness) does not carry a designation ahead of Monday's game against the Packers.
Young missed practice Thursday and Friday with an illness before returning as full participant Saturday. The 2020 No. 2 overall pick has been productive in his first season with New Orleans, tallying 25 tackles, including 5.5 sacks, and two passes defended. He should reprise his role as the team's top rotational edge rusher behind Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson on Monday.
-
Javon Bullard GB SAF
Packers' Javon Bullard: Won't play Monday
34m agoBullard (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game versus the Saints.
Bullard missed last Sunday's win over the Seahawks with an ankle injury, which also kept him sidelined during practice Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week. The rookie safety will now turn his attention toward getting healthy for the matchup versus Minnesota on Sunday, Dec. 29. With Bullard out and fellow rookie Evan Williams (quad) listed as questionable, it's possible that core special-teamer Zayne Anderson will have to step into a starting role opposite free safety Xavier McKinney.
-
Jaire Alexander GB CB
Packers' Jaire Alexander: Questionable for MNF
39m agoAlexander (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against New Orleans.
Alexander has been battling a PCL injury that's kept him sidelined for each of the last four weeks. The 27-year-old participated in full for three straight days during Week 16 prep, though he's clearly still not fully healthy. Should Alexander end up sitting out for the fifth game in a row, then Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine and Eric Stokes would likely slot in as the Packers top three cornerbacks.
-
Evan Williams GB SAF
Packers' Evan Williams: Pops up with injury Saturday
43m agoWilliams is questionable for Monday's game against the Saints with a quad injury.
Williams did not appear on Green Bay's practice report Thursday or Friday before showing up as a limited participant Saturday. The rookie safety has quickly stepped into a significant role in the secondary this season, tallying 49 tackles and three passes defended over 13 appearances. With fellow rookie Javon Bullard (ankle) already ruled out, then defensive backs Zayne Anderson and Keisean Nixon will likely step up into bigger roles if Williams ultimately ends up inactive.
-
Quay Walker GB LB
Packers' Quay Walker: Won't play Week 16
1h agoWalker (ankle) was ruled out for Monday's game against the Saints.
Walker exited with an ankle injury during last Sunday's win against the Seahawks, and he logged three straight DNPs during Week 16 prep. Over 13 appearances this season, the third-year linebacker has already logged over 100 tackles, marking his third straight season doing so. With Walker sidelined, veteran Eric Wilson will likely step up as Green Bay's defensive play caller alongside fellow off-ball linebackers Edgerrin Cooper and Isaiah McDuffie.
