News

  • Slated to join Commanders

    The Commanders signed Wagner on Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Wagner will head to Washington, where he will instantly help reinforce a thin linebacking corps. In his second stint with the Seahawks last season, the 33-year-old compiled a career-high 183 tackles (96 solo) and will now look to repeat that level of production for the Commanders during the upcoming campaign.

  • Not expected to return to Seattle

    Wagner is expected to test the free-agent market this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Wagner is viewed as unlikely to return to the Seahawks in 2024 after having a resurgent 2023 campaign in Seattle, recording a career-high 183 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, while deflecting three passes and recovering a fumble over 17 games. The linebacker will turn 34 years old in June, but he'll likely still have an abundance of teams interested in him on the open market.

  • Leads league in tackles once again

    Wagner finished with 183 tackles (96 solo), 3.5 sacks, three pass breakups and a fumble recovery across 17 games in 2023.

    Analysis: For the third time in his career, Wagner led the NFL in tackles, setting a career high in the category this season. The veteran linebacker will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but with no major signs of decline and a clear leadership role on the team, the Seahawks will likely try to bring him back for his 13th season in the league.

  • Continues dominance in loss

    Wagner finished Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers with 14 tackles (four solo).

    Analysis: Wagner reached double-digit tackles for the third straight game and has played every single defensive snap since Week 10. His 168 total tackles is second in the NFL behind Zaire Franklin (170), and the former is two stops away from matching his career high set in 2021.

  • Another productive game

    Wagner finished with 11 tackles (eight solo), including a sack and an additional tackle for a loss, in the Seahawks' 20-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Analysis: The nine-time All-Pro has recorded double-digit stops in nine different games this season. Wagner is third in the NFL in tackles with 154. The 12th-year pro also has three passes defensed and a fumble recovery in 2023.

  • Racks up 14 stops against Dallas

    Wagner registered 14 tackles (seven solo) in Thursday's Week 13 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Wagner led Seattle in stops in the defeat, posting his third double-digit tackle total over the past four weeks. The veteran linebacker has had some big tackle totals this season, finishing with 13 or more stops on four different occasions. Wagner is currently tied for the NFL lead with 127 tackles on the campaign.

  • Records eight stops Week 12

    Wagner totaled eight tackles (four solo) in a loss to San Francisco on Thursday.

    Analysis: Though Wagner's tackle total was very respectable, he actually finished with his lowest number in that category since making just four stops Week 6 versus Cincinnati. That speaks to his elite level of production this season -- through 11 contests, he leads Seattle and ranks fifth in the NFL with 113 total stops. Wagner is on pace to reach 150 tackles for the fourth time in his career.

  • Stays productive in win

    Wagner logged 10 tackles (six solo), 0.5 sacks and two pass deflections in the Seahawks Week 10 victory over the Commanders.

    Analysis: It was the first time Wagner made a mark in the sack department since Week 4, and he brought his season total up to 2.5 in the process. It was also the fifth time in 10 games this year in which the veteran linebacker reached double-digit tackles. He was on the field for all 61 defensive snaps plus five on special teams (14 percent). He has now pitched six complete defensive games this season. He will look to maintain his reliability in Week 11 versus the Rams.

  • Continues racking up stops

    Wagner registered nine tackles (six solo) and recovered a fumble in a Week 10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: Wagner finished second on Seattle in stops in the defeat, trailing only Jordyn Brooks, who had 11. Wagner has at least nine tackles in each of his past three contests and is up to 85 on the season, fifth most in the league. He's on pace to challenge the career-best mark of 170 tackles he established in 2021.

  • Double-digit tackles in win

    Wagner had 13 tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Wagner continues to be a tackling machine in his 12th season in the league and had 10 assisted tackles for the second time this season. He was dealing with an ankle injury that kept him from practicing Wednesday and Thursday, but it didn't seem to hamper him Sunday as he played in 100 percent of the defensive snaps. He leads the team in tackles with 76 in seven contests and will look to pad that total in Week 9 against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

  • Cleared to play Week 8

    Wagner (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation heading into Seattle's Week 8 matchup against Cleveland, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Wagner sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday while tending to an ankle injury, but he was able to participate in full Friday and appears set to suit up Sunday. The star linebacker has played in each of the Seahawks' six games so far this season and leads the team with 63 tackles (including two sacks).

  • Misses practice Thursday

    Wagner (ankle) did not participate at Seattle's practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wagner missed a second straight practice to open the week while he continues to nurse an ankle injury. He'll look to at least log a limited session Friday ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. If Wagner is ultimately unable to play, Drake Thomas could draw a start at interior linebacker.

  • Tending to ankle injury

    Wagner sat out practice Wednesday with an ankle injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: With Jordyn Brooks (calf) also on the Seahawks' first Week 8 injury report, Drake Thomas and Nick Bellore could be in line for increased playing time if either Wagner or Brooks can't play versus the Browns on Sunday. Wagner has tallied 63 tackles and two sacks through Seattle's first six games.

  • Nine tackles in win

    Wagner registered nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Wagner bounced back from a four-tackle performance last week against the Bengals and tied with Jordyn Brooks for the most tackles on the team Sunday. Wagner continues to lead the Seahawks with 63 total tackles (35 solo) and two sacks in six games this season. He'll look to add to his stats in Week 8 at home against the Browns, who could be without quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder).

  • Racks up two sacks

    Wagner logged 17 tackles (nine solo) including two sacks in the Seahawks' 24-3 win against the Giants on Monday.

    Analysis: Wagner's strong start to the season continues, as he recorded his first two sacks of the year as well as finished with double-digit tackles for the third time in four games. The 33-year-old currently has 50 tackles this season, good for third most in the NFL and he will look to add to that total following Seattle's Week 5 bye.

  • Posts another big tackle total

    Wagner finished Sunday's Week 2 overtime win against the Lions with 10 tackles (seven solo).

    Analysis: Wagner wasn't quite as prolific as he was in Week 1, when he erupted for 18 stops against the Rams. Still, the veteran linebacker picked up his second straight double-digit tackle effort after notching four such performances over 17 regular-season contests last season. Wagner has tallied at least 130 stops in seven consecutive campaigns and appears well on his way to hitting that mark again given his output so far in 2023.

  • Tackling machine in loss

    Wagner registered 19 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: 12 of Wagner's 19 tackles came in the second half, eight of which were in the fourth quarter alone as the Rams opted to run the ball more with their lead. Wagner continues to be a leader for the Seahawks' defense since being taken by the team in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft. His gang tackling and veteran leadership will be crucial for Seattle as it looks for its first win in Week 2 against the Lions.

  • Calling plays in 2023

    Wagner will call defensive plays for the Seahawks in 2023, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Per Dugar, Wagner is expected to be an every-down player while Jordyn Brooks, who is coming off a torn ACL, may come off the field in clear passing situations to make room for a sixth defensive back. Wagner is 33 years old but has missed just one game since the 2018 season and played nearly every snap in that stretch. With an every-snap role ahead, Wagner has a good chance to match the 140-tackle total he posted last season.

  • Back in Seattle

    The Seahawks and Wagner agreed to a one-year, $7 million contract Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Last offseason, the two sides parted ways after 10 seasons together, with Wagner eventually signing with the NFC West rival Rams. He remained a tackle machine in L.A., racking up 140 in 17 games while also recording a career-high six sacks. In his return to Seattle, Wagner likely will team with newcomer Devin Bush in the middle of the defense until Jordyn Brooks recovers from the torn ACL that he sustained Week 17.

  • Leaving Rams

    The Rams and Wagner mutually agreed to part ways Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Wagner's tenure in Los Angeles will conclude after just one season in which he led the team with 140 tackles and set a new career high with six sacks. The 32-year-old also ranked as PFF's highest-graded linebacker this past campaign and was voted All-Pro for the ninth consecutive year, so he should draw plenty of interest in the free-agent market.

  • Seven tackles against former team

    Wagner logged seven solo tackles, a quarterback hit and a tackle for loss during the Rams' 19-16 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: Wagner led the Rams in tackles, but his return to Seattle was a much more demure affair than his stat-stuffing Week 13 matchup against them, when he notched three tackles for loss, two sacks and an interception. Wagner had a productive first season with the Rams, logging 140 tackles (81 solo), a career-high six sacks and two interceptions, and he's set to once again serve as an anchor of the defense in 2023.

  • Modest numbers in defeat

    Wagner recorded seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: A week removed from a monster performance against the Broncos, Wagner and the Rams defense as a whole fell back to Earth against a playoff-bound Chargers offense. Wagner currently sits 13th in the league in tackles on the season with 133 and faces his old Seahawks squad in the Week 18 finale. Wagner stuffed the stat box against his former team in their Week 13 matchup, posting seven total tackles, including two sacks, and an interception in the contest.

  • Fills stat sheet in dominant win

    Wagner recorded eight tackles (five solo), a sack, two quarterback hits, one tackle for loss, an interception and a pass defended during Sunday's 51-14 victory against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Wagner spent much of his Christmas Day sending former teammate Russell Wilson into fits, starting by stepping in front of a pass intended for Greg Dulcich to notch the second of four Rams interceptions on the day. Wagner tacked on a sack on Wilson late in the second quarter, and he was his usual dominant self in all aspects of the defense. The Week 17 matchup against the Chargers will be a tougher task than the anemic Broncos offense, but the elite linebacker enters the contest on an absolute…read more

  • Records new season high in tackles

    Wagner recorded 14 tackles (six solo) during Thursday's 17-16 win against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Wagner continued a stretch of elite play with another stat-stuffing game, and the 14 total tackles moved him into the top 10 in all-time regular-season combined tackles, ahead of Kyle Clifton's 1,484. Wagner, who now sits at 1,494, could pass Donnie Edwards for ninth in Week 15's contest against Green Bay, as he needs just eight more tackles to overtake the former linebacker for the Chiefs and Chargers.

  • Does it all against former team

    Wagner recorded seven tackles (five solo) including three for a loss, two sacks, and an interception during Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: In Wagner's first game against Seattle since signing a five-year deal with the Rams in the offseason, the veteran linebacker put on a show, taking down Geno Smith on a pair of sacks and ripping the ball straight out of the hands of Tony Jones for an interception. Wagner's third career two-sack game was still not enough to push the Rams into the win column, but his elite play has been one of the lone bright spots for the team in a lost season.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Wagner recorded 11 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Wagner easily led the team in tackles, with Jalen Ramsey coming in second with just six. The veteran linebacker has been stuffing the stat sheet in recent weeks, with 33 total tackles and a sack in his last three contests combined.

  • Nets third sack of the season

    Wagner recorded nine tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Wagner was able to notch his first sack since Week 2 with a fourth-quarter takedown of Colt McCoy. The veteran linebacker was one of two Rams, along with Nick Scott, that never left the field on defense, and his nine combined tackles were tied for second most on the team, one behind Ernest Jones.

  • Records season high in tackles

    Wagner recorded 13 tackles (eight solo) and blocked a field-goal attempt in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Wagner's blocked field goal in the second quarter was a highlight-reel affair, as the linebacker leapt over two offensive linemen, then bounced back up and spiked down the incoming ball, stuffing Ryan Succop's 52-yard attempt. Wagner, who was on the field for every snap on defense for the seventh time in eight games, also stuffed the stat sheet with a team-leading 13 tackles, more than his previous two games combined.

  • Modest results in Week 6

    Wagner recorded seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Wagner tied Ernest Jones for a team-high seven stops during Sunday's win. The veteran linebacker has played all but one defensive snap across his first six appearances with the Rams, totaling 46 tackles, two sacks and one pass defense.

    Wagner recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) in the Rams' 24-9 loss to the 49ers on Monday.

    Analysis: Wagner played 100 percent of the team's snaps on defense for the third time this season, while his 10 combined tackles were a season high. The 32-year-old now has 33 total tackles and two sacks on the season.

  • Season-high nine tackles

    Wagner recorded nine tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 20-12 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Wagner posted a season-high nine tackles, but he fell short of recording a sack in three straight games to start the campaign. Across his first three appearances with the Rams, the veteran linebacker has 25 tackles and two sacks. He'll look to maintain his strong play against the 49ers in Week 4.

  • Records sack in win

    Wagner recorded seven tackles (three solo) and a sack during Sunday's 31-27 win against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Wagner's stat line looked very similar to his Week 1 performance, and for the second straight week the top linebacker for the Rams was on the field for 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps, which should be the theme for Wagner throughout the season. Wagner will look to make it three straight weeks with a sack against the Raiders in Week 3.

    Analysis: Wagner finished one tackle behind Troy Hill for the team lead and tied three other players with seven. He also recorded one of the team's two sacks during the season opener. The veteran linebacker signed a five-year, $65 million deal with the Rams after being released by Seattle this offseason. He's recorded at least 100 tackles in each of his first 10 seasons in the NFL and will look to continue that streak during his first campaign with Los Angeles.

    The Rams have agreed to terms with Wagner, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, Wagner's deal is for five years and worth up to $65 million. The Seahawks released the linebacker earlier this month, but the 31-year-old remains productive at this stage of his career and is coming off a career-high 170-tackle season. With the Rams, Wagner -- who's presumably past the knee issue that caused him to miss Seattle's season finale -- slots in as a starting inside linebacker alongside Ernest Jones, with his addition representing a boost to the team's defense against…read more

    Seattle released Wagner (knee) on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Seattle kicked off its rebuild in earnest Tuesday, dealing away franchise quarterback Russell Wilson to Denver and moving on from its longtime anchor on defense in Wagne. The veteran linebacker would have carried a cap hit of $20.35 million in 2022 on the final year of his contract, but Seattle will face a dead-cap charge of only $3.75 million after cutting him. Wagner has recorded at least 133 total tackles in each of the past six seasons, and in 2021 he totaled 170 tackles, one sack, one…read more

    Wagner (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wagner was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday, and he'll be held out for Sunday's regular-season finale. He appeared in 16 games during the 2021 campaign before sustaining a sprained MCL and PCL in Week 17, and he totaled 170 tackles (93 solo), a sack, an interception, a forced fumble and five pass defenses.

    Analysis: Wagner hurt his knee on the first defensive play of this past Sunday's game against the Lions and didn't return. Eventually, he was diagnosed with MCL and PCL sprains after an MRI, threatening his availability for a Week 18 visit to Arizona. According to Boyle, Wagner said Wednesday that his knee is receiving treatment and he'll play the waiting game to see if he'll be able to suit up Sunday.

    Analysis: After lasting just one play due to MCL and PCL sprains sustained Week 17 against the Lions, Wagner was believed to be trending toward an absence this Sunday in Arizona, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Wagner wouldn't commit to such a fate Wednesday, telling Boyle that he's receiving treatment on his knee and will see how the rest of the week plays out to see if he may be able to play this weekend.

  • Set to miss Week 18

    Wagner was diagnosed with sprains to the MCL and PCL in his knee Monday and shouldn't require surgery, but he's expected to be sidelined for Sunday's game at Arizona, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Wagner suffered the injury during Sunday's win over the Lions, though it was initially described as a sprained kneecap. Regardless, the 31-year-old is likely to be sidelined for the final game of the season, which would be his first absence since 2018 and only his second game missed since 2015. The Seahawks have already been eliminated from playoff contention, so he's likely seen the field for the final time this season.

  • Avoids major injury

    Wagner (knee) suffered a sprained kneecap in Sunday's 51-29 victory over the Lions, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Wagner underwent an MRI following Sunday's contest, which fortunately revealed he did not suffer any major damage. He was able to walk off the field under his own power but was ultimately kept from returning. His status for Week 18 is undetermined. Given the Seahawks have been eliminated from the playoff picture, it would not be surprising if they err on the side of caution with their starting middle linebacker.

    Wagner sprained his knee in Sunday's 51-29 win over the Lions and will get an MRI on the injury, per coach Pete Carroll, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wagner was able to walk off under his own power and immediately tried to get back into the game, but Seattle's staff kept him off the field with the team up big. Carroll responded, "I don't know," when asked about Wagner's availability for next week's season finale against the Cardinals, but the results of the MRI should paint a clearer picture regarding the linebacker's chances of suiting up.

    Wagner (knee) is questionable to return Sunday against the Lions, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wagner was injured on the Seahawks' first defensive play of the game. The star linebacker had totaled 170 tackles through the first 15 games of the season, so his potential absence would be a huge blow to Seattle's defense.

  • Big day all around

    Wagner totaled nine tackles (six solo) along with an interception in Sunday's 30-23 divisional win over San Francisco.

    Analysis: Wagner intercepted his first pass since Week 15 of the 2019 season as he picked off Jimmy Garoppolo early in the first quarter. With six more solo tackles in this contest, the star linebacker is now second in the NFL in solo tackles. The 31-year-old has recorded double-digit tackles in eight of 12 games this season. Wagner and the Seattle defense get a much easier matchup next Sunday against Houston.

  • Piles up 14 stops

    Wagner recorded 14 tackles (10 solo) and a pass breakup in Monday's 17-15 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Wagner lost the league lead in tackles for a few days before regaining it on primetime. He's now up to 128 stops (71 solo) through 11 games, and he has added three pass breakups, a sack and a forced fumble as well. Wagner will probably earn All-Pro honors yet again this season as he looks to surpass his personal best of 167 stops, which he recorded in 2016.

    Analysis: Wagner hit double-digit tackles for the seventh time in 10 games, and he leads the league with 115 tackles. The 2012 second-round pick has registered triple-digit tackles in each season since entering the league. He's a top-five IDP option once again.

  • Leads team with seven tackles

    Wagner posted seven tackles (five solo) during Monday's loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Wagner's seven-tackle performance was a modest output for him, as it was just the second time this season that he failed to reach double-digit tackles in a game. The 31-year-old linebacker has 79 tackles through the Seahawks' first seven contests of the 2021 campaign and is well on his way to registering his 10th straight season with 100-plus tackles. Wagner remains an elite option in all IDP leagues.

  • Huge effort on SNF

    Wagner posted 14 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Wagner is now tied with Denzel Perryman (Raiders) for the league lead with 72 tackles through six games. As long as he stays healthy, he'll comfortably reach 100 tackles for the 10th time in his 10-year career, and it wouldn't be surprising if he tests his current career high of 167 stops from back in 2016.

    Analysis: Wagner suffered a bruised knee in Thursday's Week 5 matchup against the Rams.

    Wagner (knee) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Wagner bruised his knee during last Thursday's loss to the Rams, and even with the longer turnaround between games, the linebacker apparently isn't back to full strength. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll previously said the team wasn't concerned about the availability of the star linebacker, so Wagner should be expected to play at Pittsburgh this weekend until the team indicates otherwise.

  • Dealing with knee injury

    Wagner picked up a knee injury during Thursday's 26-17 loss to the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll said Wagner "banged" his knee during that contest, but the Seahawks aren't concerned about the availability of their star middle linebacker for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh. Wagner is coming off a season-low four tackles versus L.A., so he'll look to get back to the player that logged double digits in each of the team's first four outings, including a whopping 20 in Week 2 against the Titans. That's assuming he gets through Week 6 prep unscathed.

  • Logs double-digit stops again

    Wagner notched 10 tackles (five solo) and one pass deflection during Sunday's 28-21 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Wagner is a perennial tackling machine, so it's not exactly surprising to see him beginning the 2021 season on fire, but four straight games with double-digit stops is impressive nonetheless. With another divisional matchup on deck Week 5, against the Rams, Wagner will remain a must-start IDP option.

    Analysis: After a preseason in which Wagner didn't see a snap, he underwent a blood-spinning treatment in his knee joints, which apparently is something he's done before each of the past five campaigns.

    Analysis: Wagner has apparently undergone the procedure each of the past five years, so there isn't much concern regarding his availability for the Sept. 12 opener at Indianapolis.

This was Wagner's fifth straight season with more than 130 tackles, and he was named first-team All-Pro in each of those campaigns.

    Wagner (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wagner has been quite durable in his career; he has missed just one game since the start of the 2016 season. However, a soft-tissue injury always causes concern. It's encouraging that he was still able to practice in some capacity, but it's worth monitoring his status for the rest of the week leading up to Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Wagner suffered the injury, as he was coming off 12 tackles in Sunday's win over the Dolphins. The team could be electing to rest their star linebacker, as it's too early to worry about Wagner's status for Week 5.

    Analysis: This is Wagner's first time leading the team in tackles this season, and it's no coincidence that he accomplished the feat with All-Pro safety Jamal Adams (groin) out of the lineup. Wagner averaged 8.6 tackles per game through the first three weeks, but he'll be counted on even more until Adams returns, which might not be until after the team's Week 6 bye.

    Analysis: Wagner's off to another solid start in 2020, as he's notched 26 tackles through three games, putting him on track to reach 138 stops this season. The addition of All Pro safety Jamal Adams could cap Wagner's ceiling a bit, but Wagner is an All Pro himself and will get his regardless.

Still, Wagner logged seven games last year with single-digit tackles and still finished with 159 stops, but it's worth keeping an eye on it in IDP settings, as Adams could take over as the team's top tackler.

    Head coach Pete Carroll said Wagner (knee) won't play in the Pro Bowl but shouldn't need surgery, Andy Patton of USA Today reports. "He's just going to rest up," Carroll said. "He doesn't have to do anything for it, but he needs to miss this game."

    Analysis: While surgery was on the table after Wagner's injury popped up in exit interviews, the All-Pro linebacker should be fine with simple rest and rehab. This was Wagner's sixth straight Pro Bowl bid after racking up a league-high 159 tackles this season. Wagner should be good to go for the 2020 campaign.

    Analysis: A second straight day of missed practice is certainly not ideal, but head coach Pete Carrol has already gone on record saying he expects Wagner to be available Sunday against Arizona.

It appears as though the star linebacker is trending toward availability for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Cardinals, though a final decision on his availability could come down to what he's able to do in the week's trio of practices.

Wagner makes hay with his tackling effort, however, and he ranks third in the league with 86 tackles. That makes him a premier IDP asset, as he averaged 9.6 stops per game, so he'll look to keep up the good work Week 10 against the 49ers.
