Fackrell (undisclosed) worked out with the Ravens on Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports. Fackrell was placed on the Raiders' injured reserve in late July but was released with an injury settlement last week. While the nature of his injury wasn't revealed, his workout with Baltimore signals that he's likely moved past the issue.

Fackrell picked up two tackles and a sack in Monday's 28-14 win over the Raiders. Despite playing under 50 percent of the defensive snaps through four weeks, Fackrell now is second on the team in sacks to begin the year. Essentially a passing-down specialist since his career year with the Packers back in 2018, the 29-year-old could have some success in that role as the pass rusher opposite Joey Bosa on an emerging defensive unit.

Fackrell (lower leg) was activated off injured reserve and will be available for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Zack Rosenblatt of the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Fackrell is slated to make his first appearance since Week 12, reclaiming his starting gig at outside linebacker across from Jabaal Sheard with Carter Coughlin providing depth.

Fackrell (lower leg) is not expected to be activated for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Fackrell has been residing on injured reserve since Dec. 1, but a return to practice Wednesday provided hope for a potential Week 16 appearance. The Packers' 2016 third-round draft choice started each of his seven game outings between Weeks 5 and 12, but Carter Coughlin now stands to garner a third consecutive start at outside linebacker with Fackrell unavailable.

The Giants placed Fackrell (lower leg) on injured reserve Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports. Fackrell suffered a lower-leg injury during this past Sunday's win over Cincinnati and will require at least three weeks of recovery. He's eligible to return in Week 16 against the Ravens. In his first season in New York, Fackrell started eight of 11 games and produced 31 tackles and three sacks. Jabaal Sheard and Cam Brown are candidates to start in Fackrell's place, although Oshane Ximines (shoulder) has been designated to return from IR and could be an option as well.
