Gary recorded five total tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans.
Gary has had an underwhelming start to the Packers' 2024 campaign, having recorded just 14 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended before Sunday's win. However, his performance in Week 7 suggests he may be returning to his form from the previous two seasons. Gary is on pace to have just over 36 pressures across 17 regular-season games this year, which would be his lowest total since his rookie season in 2019. Expect the Michigan product to continue serving as Green Bay's top edge rusher again in Week 8, when the Packers travel to Jacksonville.

Rotowire
Gary recorded 44 tackles (23 solo), 9.0 sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and two pass deflections over 17 regular-season games in 2023.
Gary appeared well on his way to reaching double digits in the sack department for the first time, but he did not make a mark in that column after Week 13. He still managed to appear in every game on the schedule after seeing his 2022 campaign cut short by a torn ACL, and he will have a normal offseason heading into the 2024 campaign.

Packers' Rashan Gary: Gets after QB in victory
Rotowire
Gary registered seven tackles (five solo), three sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in Thursday's 29-22 victory over the Lions.
Gary tore the ACL in his right knee at Ford Field in 2022, and that may have provided the motivation he needed to absolutely destroy Detroit's game plan in his latest trip to the stadium. He is now up to 8.5 sacks on the season, and with six games to go he is easily on pace to surpass the career-high 9.5 sacks he registered during the 2021 campaign.
