Darnell Savage Injury News & Updates
Dec 5, 2025
Scooped up by Buffalo
The Bills claimed Savage off waivers from the Commanders on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The veteran safety was waived by the Commanders on Thursday after being a healthy scratch for their Week 13 overtime loss to the Broncos. Savage gives the Bills added depth in the secondary, which is needed after Darius Slay -- whom Buffalo claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh on Wednesday -- refused to report to team facilities. Across 10 regular-season games with the Commanders (eight games) and the Jaguars (two games), Savage has accumulated 16 tackles (10 solo), two pass defenses and one forced fumble.
Dec 4, 2025
Let go by Washington
The Commanders waived Savage on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Savage was a healthy scratch for the Commanders' Week 13 loss to the Broncos. The organization granted the safety's request for release Thursday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports. Savage will now go on waivers, and if he clears will become a free agent.
Sep 22, 2025
Headed to Washington
Savage signed a one-year deal with the Commanders on Monday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The Maryland product was cut by the Jaguars on Sep. 16 after recording just one solo tackle across the team's first two games. However, he was quickly picked up by Washington, where injuries to Will Harris (leg) and Percy Butler (hip) will likely allow him to contribute immediately. Savage is projected to serve as one of the Commanders' top reserve safeties for the remainder of the season.
Sep 16, 2025
Cut by Jacksonville
The Jaguars released Savage on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Savage logged just one solo tackle through the first two games of the regular season while serving in a rotational role at safety behind Eric Murray and Andrew Wingard. Savage will explore his next options and should receive interest from teams looking to add veteran depth to the secondary.
Jan 10, 2025
Underwhelms in Jacksonville
Savage recorded 51 total tackles and six passes defended, including one interception, over 13 games in 2024.
ANALYSIS
The first-year Jaguar started all 13 games he appeared in this season, playing more than 90 percent of the team's defensive snaps in eight contests. However, Savage tallied the same amount of total tackles as he did in 2023 with the Packers, despite playing 190 more defensive snaps and appearing in three more games in 2024. The Maryland product showed flashes of brilliance, nonetheless, posting the most passes defended since his 2021 campaign. Savage is expected to remain one of Jacksonville's starting safeties in 2025, having signed a three-year, $21.75 million deal with the team last offseason.
Jan 3, 2025
Cleared to play Week 18
Savage passed concussion protocol and has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Colts, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage was inactive for Week 17 after being concussed the previous week. The veteran safety should resume his full-time role on the back end of Jacksonville's secondary for the regular-season finale. Through 12 contests this season, Savage has logged 42 tackles (33 solo), including two TFLs, and six pass breakups, including one interception.
Jan 2, 2025
Logs full practice Thursday
Savage (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Savage entered concussion protocols during the Jaguars' Week 16 loss to the Raiders, which caused him to be sidelined for Week 17 against the Titans. His ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he is progressing through the league's five-step concussion protocol, though he'd have to clear it completely in order to play against the Colts on Sunday.
Dec 27, 2024
Won't face Tennessee
Savage (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Savage was concussed in last Sunday's game against the Raiders and remains in the league's protocol. Veteran Andrew Wingard took over at safety next to Andre Cisco following Savage's exit and figures to draw the start Sunday against Tennessee.
Dec 22, 2024
Enters concussion protocols
Savage has been diagnosed with a concussion and has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Savage took a hit to the head in the second quarter and went to the sidelines to be evaluated for a concussion. He won't be able to play in Week 17 against the Titans on Sunday, Dec. 29 until he clears the league's five-step concussion protocols. With Savage done for the day, Andrew Wingard will be the Jaguars' lone backup safety for the rest of Sunday's contest.
Dec 22, 2024
Being evaluated for concussion
Savage (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Savage suffered a head injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game and is being evaluated for a concussion. Andrew Wingard will serve as the Jaguars' backup safety behind Andre Cisco and Antonio Johnson for as long as Savage is sidelined.
Dec 17, 2024
Five tackles in loss
Savage recorded five total tackles (four solo) and two passes defensed in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Savage finished second on the team in takedowns, trailing only cornerback Tyson Campbell's six tackles in the loss. Savage has now produced 41 total tackles (33 solo) and six passes defensed, including an interception, over 11 games in his first season with the Jaguars.
Dec 4, 2024
Over ankle injury
Savage (ankle) was absent from the Jaguars' injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Savage exited the Jaguars' Week 13 loss to the Texans after sustaining an ankle injury, but his absence from Wednesday's injury report suggests that he's already recovered. The first-year Jaguar is expected to serve as Jacksonville's top backup free safety, playing behind Antonio Johnson as the season progresses.
Dec 1, 2024
Injures ankle Sunday
Savage sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Prior to his exit in the second half, Savage had tallied seven tackles (all solo), which ended up pacing the Jaguars in Week 13. He's been handling a large role in the defense for some time, earning at least 90 percent of the snaps in the five games before a Week 12 bye. As a result, Savage's status will be one to monitor as the team gears up for next Sunday's contest at Tennessee.
Nov 11, 2024
Records interception in Week 10
Savage finished Sunday's loss to Minnesota with four tackles (three solo) and an interception.
ANALYSIS
Savage came up with a big pickoff of Sam Darnold, intercepting a pass intended for Justin Jefferson in the Jaguars' end zone and returning it 29 yards. It was the first pickoff of the campaign for Savage, who has logged every one of Jacksonville's defensive snaps three of the past four weeks. On the season, Savage has recorded 22 tackles (17 solo) and four pass defenses over seven contests.
Oct 17, 2024
Not on injury report
Savage (head) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
ANALYSIS
Savage was evaluated for a concussion during the Jaguars' loss to the Bears in Week 6, per Demetrius Harvey of the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union, but he was cleared and managed to return to the game. He can be considered fully on track to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.
Oct 13, 2024
Leaves with injury
Savage is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Savage will be unable to return to the game and have to enter the league's five-step protocol if he suffered a concussion. However, if cleared he should be able to return to Sunday's game in London.
Oct 6, 2024
Suiting up as expected
Savage (quadriceps) is active Sunday against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Savage hasn't played since Week 1, but he'll now return after a three-week absence. The return of the Maryland product should be a boost to the Jaguars' secondary when they take the field for a divisional matchup against Indianapolis.
Oct 4, 2024
Expected to play Week 5
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Savage (quadriceps) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage has missed three straight games due to a lingering quad injury, but he's managed to practice in a limited capacity in advance of Week 5 action. Friday's final injury report of the week will reveal whether Savage carries an official injury definition, but barring any setbacks, the safety should be available versus Indianapolis.
Oct 2, 2024
Begins week as limited
Savage (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage has missed the Jaguars' last three games due to a quadriceps injury sustained in the team's Week 1 loss to the Dolphins. The first-year Jaguar has now logged seven consecutive limited practice sessions, so he's likely nearing a return to the field. If Savage misses his fourth consecutive game in Week 5, expect Antonio Johnson to serve as Jacksonville's top free safety.
Sep 28, 2024
Ruled out for Week 4
Savage (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Doug Pederson told reporters Tuesday that Savage would return to the field this week after missing the Jaguars' last two contests with a quadriceps injury. However, it now appears the first-year Jaguar hasn't fully recovered, and he'll miss his third consecutive game Sunday. Antonio Johnson is expected to see more work with Jacksonville's first-team secondary in Savage's stead.
Sep 24, 2024
Returning Week 4
Head coach Doug Pederson said Tuesday that Savage (quadriceps) will be back this week, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage hasn't played since Week 1 with the injury, but it sounds like he may be suiting up this Sunday against the Texans, barring any setbacks. He was able to practice in a limited fashion last week, so he does appear to be on the proper trajectory. However, it'll be worth monitoring his practice status in the days ahead to confirm his likely availability, and he should still be considered questionable for now.
Sep 22, 2024
Not playing Monday
Savage (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Bills, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage was a limited participant in all three practices this week and was given a questionable tag Saturday. However, the quadriceps injury that kept him out of Week 2 still appears to be bothering him, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 4 against the Texans on Sept. 29. Daniel Thomas will be the primary backup at safety behind starters Andre Cisco and Antonio Johnson for Monday's game.
Sep 21, 2024
Listed as questionable for Week 3
Savage (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bills, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage was held out of the Jaguars' Week 2 loss to the Browns due to a quadriceps injury. He's given himself a chance to return from a one-game absence after logging three-straight limited practice sessions this week. If Savage is unable to suit up Monday, Daniel Thomas would serve as the primary backup at safety behind starters Andre Cisco and Antonio Johnson.
Sep 19, 2024
Limited to start week
Savage (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage was sidelined for Week 2 against the Browns after being unable to practice leading up to the contest. His limited participation Thursday is a sign that Savage is moving in the right direction towards playing in Week 3 against the Bills. The Jaguars' injury report Friday and Saturday will provide a better indication of Savage's status ahead of Monday's game.
Sep 13, 2024
Officially out Week 2
Savage (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Doug Pederson told reporters earlier Friday that Savage wasn't expected to suit up for the Jaguars' Week 2 contest, and the team's injury report released later that day confirmed it. Andre Cisco and Daniel Thomas are currently the only two healthy safeties on the Jaguars' active roster, as Andrew Wingard (knee), Tashaun Gipson (suspended) and Savage will all be sidelined Sunday.
Sep 13, 2024
Expected to miss Week 2
Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Savage (quadriceps) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Browns, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage looks set to miss at least one game due to his quadriceps injury, though he won't be officially ruled out until Friday's injury report is released, at the earliest. With Daniel Thomas (Achilles) also uncertain for Week 2, safety Andre Chachere seems a likely candidate to be elevated from the practice squad to face Cleveland.
Sep 12, 2024
Logs DNP
Savage (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Savage's inability to take the field Thursday may not bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against Cleveland. He'll have another chance to take the field Friday, but if he's unable to play Week 2, the Jaguars may have a shortage in the secondary. Daniel Thomas (Achilles) is also working his way back from injury. leaving Andre Cisco as the only healthy safety currently on the roster.
Mar 11, 2024
Set for three-year deal with Jags
Savage is slated to ink a three-year contract with Jacksonville, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage, a 2019 first-round pick, is fresh off completing his rookie deal with the Packers and will provide an immediate boost at safety for the Jaguars. After an impressive first two seasons in the league Savage struggled from 2021-23, and missed assignments resulted in him even losing his starting job for part of the 2022 campaign. He will look to spark his career under new defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen in Jacksonville.
Jan 23, 2024
Finishes with 51 stops
Savage recorded 51 tackles (36 solo) and a pass deflection over 10 games in the 2023 season.
ANALYSIS
The pick-six Savage recorded in Green Bay's playoff opener does not show up on his stat line, but that was the only interception he recorded during the campaign. Savage has spent five seasons with the Packers since being drafted in the first round in 2019, but he will be a free agent this offseason, and it remains to be seen if he will stick around or link up with another team.
Jan 15, 2024
Records pick-six in win
Savage had four tackles (three solo) and returned an interception 64 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's 48-32 victory over the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Savage arguably made the key play in Sunday's game, as his pick-six with under two minutes to go in the first half gave Green Bay a relatively-insurmountable 27-0 lead. Savage was rested along with some other starters late in the game and played only 83 percent of the snaps in the contest, but he played all but one snap over the final two weeks of the regular season, so expect him to be plenty busy when the Packers take on the 49ers in the divisional round.
Jan 2, 2024
One stop in return
Savage had one solo tackle in Sunday's 33-10 win over the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Savage returned from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury he sustained in Week 14 against the Giants. Although he had just one tackle Sunday, he was on the field for all 52 defensive snaps. Over nine games this season, Savage has 46 tackles (33 solo) and pass defended.
Dec 31, 2023
Set to return for Week 17
Savage (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage has missed the last two games with a shoulder injury, but has been given the green light to return after logging limited practice sessions all week. He'll resume his starting free safety role alongside starting strong safety Jonathan Owens. Savage has 45 tackles (32 solo) over eight games this season.
Dec 29, 2023
Gets tagged as questionable
Savage (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage has been sidelined for the Packers' last two games due to a shoulder injury, and now his availability for Week 17 is in question. If he can't play Sunday, rookie seventh-rounder Anthony Johnson figures to start in his place.
Dec 27, 2023
Limited Wednesday
Savage (shoulder) was considered to be a limited participant at the Packers' walkthrough Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Savage was unable to play in the team's Week 16 win over the Panthers, missing his second contest in a row with a shoulder injury. His ability to at least be estimated as a participant Wednesday opens the door for his chances to return to the field in Week 17. The safety will look to officially practice Thursday ahead of the team's crucial matchup with the Vikings on Sunday.
Dec 22, 2023
Missing another week
Savage (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
The 2019 first-round pick is in line to miss his second consecutive and seventh game of the season, as he continues to recover from a shoulder issue. With Savage missing Week 16's contest, expect Anthony Johnson to make the fourth start of his career at free safety.
Dec 20, 2023
Misses practice to start week
Savage (shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage was sidelined for Sunday's loss versus the Buccaneers due to a shoulder injury, and he's now sitting out to begin the Packers' new week of practice. Unless he can return to practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely end up being out again in Week 16.
Dec 17, 2023
Will miss Week 15
Savage (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's matchup versus the Buccaneers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage played 95 percent of Green Bay's defensive snaps last week against the Giants and logged seven tackles, but he followed that with a trio of DNPs during Week 15 prep. As such, the veteran safety will miss his sixth game of the season. Rudy Ford could see more snaps with Savage out against Tampa Bay.
Dec 15, 2023
Chance to play Sunday
Savage (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage was a DNP all week and is in jeopardy of missing his sixth game of the year. He was able to play through the shoulder injury in the Packers' Week 14 loss to the Giants, although he strung together back-to-back limited practice sessions leading up to the contest. If Savage is unable to play, Rudy Ford and Anthony Johnson are candidates to step into a starting safety role alongside Jonathan Owens.
Dec 13, 2023
DNP Wednesday
Savage (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Savage started last week on the DNP list, but was able to suit up against the Giants on Monday after logging back-to-back limited practice sessions. He's missed five games this season, so this may be a matter of the Packers being cautious with his health. Savage's practice participation the next two days will give a clearer indication of his availability for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Dec 12, 2023
Solid effort in loss
Savage recorded seven total tackles (six solo) during Monday night's 24-22 loss to the Giants.
ANALYSIS
The 2019 first-round pick had his best outing since returning from injured reserve in Week 14, tying Isaiah McDuffie for the team's leading tackler. Savage has had some trouble staying on the field thus far, appearing in only eight of the Packers' 13 games. He's been productive when available for Green Bay though, logging seven or more tackles in four of his eight appearances this year. Savage and the Packers' defense will look to rebound Sunday against a Tampa Bay offense that's 22nd in the NFL in points per game.
Dec 11, 2023
Will face New York
Savage (chest) is active for Monday's game against the Giants, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage picked up a chest injury in the Packers' Week 13 win over the Chiefs. He was able to log back-to-back limited practice sessions to end the week and will suit up for the second straight week after missing the previous five contests with a calf injury.
Dec 9, 2023
Iffy for Monday versus New York
Savage (chest) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage was able to play through a calf injury in last Sunday's win over the Chiefs, but he picked up a chest injury that held him out of Thursday's practice. He was able to string together back-to-back limited sessions to end the week and has a chance to play Monday. If Savage is unable to play, Jonathan Owens figures to step into the starting free safety role again alongside Rudy Ford.
Dec 7, 2023
Has new injury
Savage (chest) did not participate during practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Savage missed several weeks with a calf injury but returned to the field against the Chiefs on Sunday and played 90 percent of the team's snaps on defense. Now, the 2019 first-round selection is dealing with a chest injury, which has sidelined him to start Week 14 prep. He'll likely need to get back on the field Friday or Saturday to be cleared to play Monday against the Giants.
Dec 3, 2023
Active for SNF
Savage (calf) is active for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage missed the last five games due to his calf injury but logged a full week of practices before being activated off injured reserve Saturday. He's officially been cleared to suit up in primetime, although it's unclear whether he'll fave any type of restriction during his first game back in action.
Dec 2, 2023
Comes off IR
Savage (calf) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2019 first-round pick logged a full week of practice, and now that he's been activated to Green Bay's active roster, he's got a shot at suiting up for Sunday night's contest. If Savage is able to suit up this weekend, he'll likely return to his starting free safety role, making Jonathan Owens the backup once again.
Dec 1, 2023
Questionable for Sunday night
Savage (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday night's game against the Chiefs, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage was able to log a full week of practice, but he must be activated to Green Bay's active roster in order to suit up Sunday night. The 2019 first-round pick appeared in six games before sustaining this calf injury, recording 34 total tackles, including one tackle for loss. If he's unable to suit up in Week 13, Jonathan Owens would likely start at free safety.
Nov 30, 2023
Practices Thursday
Savage (calf), who remains designated to return from injured reserve, was a full participant in practice for the second day in a row Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Savage was designated to return Nov. 20 but still missed the Packers' Thanksgiving day game against the Lions. Green Bay will have one more practice day to evaluate the safety ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs. Savage has 34 tackles in six games this season.
Nov 22, 2023
Won't play Thursday
Savage (calf) won't play in Green Bay's game against the Lions on Thursday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Packers designated Savage to return from injured reserve on Monday, and while there was thought to be a chance he could play Thursday, he will now have to wait at least another week to make his return. In the 26-year-old's absence, Jonathan Owens should start at safety once again.
Nov 20, 2023
Getting closer to return
Savage (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage is now eligible to be added back to the 53-man roster, but he does have a 21-day window to practice with the team before he needs to be added to it. With the Packers on a short week, it may lessen the chance he returns in Week 12 against the Lions, although his practice status leading up to Thanksgiving Day will provide more clarity on his potential to do so.
Oct 25, 2023
Heads to IR
Green Bay placed Savage (calf) on its injured reserve list Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
In a big blow to an already-shallow Packers safety rotation, Savage will now have to sit out at least the next four games as he recovers from the calf injury he sustained in Week 7 at Denver. Jonathan Owens will probably step into a starting role until Savage is able to return.
Oct 23, 2023
Expected to miss multiple games
Savage is expected to be out for multiple games with a calf injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage aggravated a calf injury during the team's loss to the Broncos on Sunday and is now likely to be out for an extended time. The 2019 first-round pick has logged 34 tackles (22 solo) in six games this season and now Jonathan Owens will likely start at safety in his absence.
Oct 22, 2023
Ruled out for remainder of game
Savage (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game in Denver.
ANALYSIS
Savage went down with a calf injury in the first half and he'll now be sidelined the rest of the way. Jonathan Owens will likely handle the starting duties at free safety in his absence.
Oct 22, 2023
Questionable to return
Savage (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage left the game in the first half after aggravating a calf injury that he suffered during last week's loss to the Raiders. Jonathan Owens is now in at safety and will continue to see increased playing time if Savage is unable to return.
Oct 22, 2023
Active Sunday
Savage (calf) has been cleared to play in Sunday's contest in Denver, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage was a limited participant in practice all week, but he is feeling good enough to play. He injured his calf in the Packers' Week 5 loss in Las Vegas, but he had time to recover during the bye week. Look for him to take on his usual safety responsibilities assuming any setbacks are avoided.
Oct 20, 2023
Chance to play Sunday
Savage (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Matt LeFleur told reporters that the Packers are hopeful that Savage will be able to return following the team's Week 6 bye. The 26-year-old was limited all week in practice after suffering a calf injury during the Green Bay's Week 5 loss to Las Vegas. If Savage is unable to suit up this Sunday, Jonathan Owens is expected to start at free safety.
Oct 18, 2023
Limited practice Wednesday
Savage (calf) was a limited participant at the Packers' practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage suffered a calf injury in Green Bay's Week 5 loss to the Raiders and he was unable to return to the game. The safety's ability to practice in some capacity is a positive sign for his chances to play Sunday in Denver and he'll look to increase his workload at practice prior to the contest.
Oct 10, 2023
Hopeful for Week 7
Coach Matt LaFleur said the team is hopeful Savage (calf) will be able to play following the Packers' Week 6 bye, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage went down in Monday night's loss to the Raiders, but it doesn't sound like a long-term issue. Green Bay gets Week 6 off before going to Denver the following week. Savage has started all five games, recording 33 tackles.
Oct 9, 2023
Done for night
Savage (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's matchup with the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage went down with a calf injury in the first half, returned to the game, and he'll now remain sidelined for the rest of the contest. The free safety will end the night with four tackles and Jonathan Owens will replace him in Green Bay's secondary.
Sep 26, 2023
Team tackle leader again
Savage recorded seven tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 18-17 win versus New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Savage posted seven-plus tackles for the third game in a row in Week 3, tying for the team lead in a gutsy win. He's on pace for a career year and his first 100-tackle season heading into a Week 4 matchup versus Detroit.
Sep 11, 2023
Leads team in tackles
Savage had 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 38-20 victory over the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Savage reached double digits in the tackle department only once during the previous campaign, but he hit that mark in his first opportunity to do so in the new season despite being on the field for only 81 percent of Green Bay's defensive snaps. Only two defenders played more than Savage in Sunday's lopsided contest, and the 10 stops suggest he could help those who play in leagues that use IDPs.
Aug 26, 2023
Starts three preseason games
Savage made a solo tackle in Saturday's 19-15 preseason victory over the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Savage lost his starting spot at one point last season, but he wound up opening all three exhibition games with the first-team defense. He is on track to open the regular season as one of Green Bay's two starting safeties and will be looking to make more of an impact than he did in 2022 with free agency looming next offseason.
Mar 4, 2023
Takes step back in 2022
Savage stacked up 58 tackles (43 solo), an interception and five pass deflections over 16 games in the 2022 season.
ANALYSIS
Savage appeared in all but one game in 2022, but he also fell out of favor late in the season and was credited with a start in just two of his final five appearances. When it was all said and done, he wound up playing a career-low 84 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps. He will presumably remain in Green Bay with the Packers having picked up the fifth-year option on his contract, but his role is uncertain heading into the 2023 campaign.
Dec 15, 2022
Full go in practice Thursday
Savage (foot) was listed as a full participant on the Packers' injury report Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Savage has been sidelined since he went down with a foot injury on the first play of Green Bay's Week 12 loss to the Eagles. However, it appears he had time to fully heal up coming off the Packers' Week 14 bye. Savage recorded 42 tackles and two passes defended while playing nearly every defensive snap over the first 11 games of the season, and he should step back in at free safety Monday against the Rams.
Dec 4, 2022
Sitting against Chicago
Savage (foot) is inactive Week 13 against Chicago.
ANALYSIS
No surprises here, as a foot injury limited Savage to just one defensive snap in Week 13 and forced him to miss the entire week of practice. Rudy Ford -- who logged nine combined tackles on 79 defensive snaps last week -- should continue to serve as the primary free safety in Savage's stead.
Dec 2, 2022
Unlikely to play Sunday
Savage (foot) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bears, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage sustained a foot injury last week against the Eagles and underwent X-rays that came back negative. However, he'll likely be unavailable in Week 13, which should lead to increased playing time for Rudy Ford.
Nov 28, 2022
Dodges severe injury
X-rays on Savage's injured foot revealed no structural damage Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The team will treat the injury Savage sustained during Sunday's loss at Philadelphia as a sprain, and he's expected to be available to return at some point this season. If Savage misses any game time, Rudy Ford would be the favorite to fill in at safety.
Nov 27, 2022
Won't return Sunday
Savage (foot) won't return to Sunday's game against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Savage exited Sunday's game on the opening drive and will be unable to play down the stretch. It's not yet clear whether Savage will be available for next Sunday's Week 13 matchup in Chicago.
Nov 27, 2022
Questionable to return
Savage is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a foot injury.
ANALYSIS
Savage sustained his injury on the opening drive of Sunday's matchup, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return. If he's unavailable for the remainder of the game, Rudy Ford and Tariq Carpenter will likely see increased playing time.
Sep 9, 2022
No injury designation for Week 1
Savage (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's season opener against the Vikings, Wes Hodiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage tweaked his hamstring during the team's Family Night practice at the beginning of August and was sidelined for the remainder of training camp. The issue was always described as minor, but the Packers remained cautious and have kept him limited since his return to practice at the end of August. The 2019 first-round pick has totaled 193 tackles, 26 pass defenses and eight interceptions across his first three seasons in Green Bay, and despite missing an extended period with the hamstring issue, Savage is set for another major role in Green Bay's improved defense.
Sep 7, 2022
Limited in practice Wednesday
Savage (hamstring) was a limited participant during the Packers' practice Wednesday, Jason Wilde of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage returned to practice last week Sunday after tweaking his hamstring during the early phases of Green Bay's training camp in August. The starting free safety recorded 63 tackles and two interceptions while playing every game for the Packers last season, so his availability will be a top priority heading into the team's Week 1 contest against the Vikings. Should Savage's health fail to improve, then some combination of Dallin Leavitt, Rudy Ford and Tariq Carpenter would likely help fill in for the Packers' secondary this Sunday.
Aug 28, 2022
Returns to practice Sunday
Savage (hamstring) returned to practice Sunday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage's return marks his first practice since injuring his hamstring during the team's Family Night practice at the beginning of August. The 2019 first-round pick has missed all of the Packers' preseason games but will have two weeks to ramp up to game speed before Green Bay's Week 1 matchup against Minnesota. Per Schneidman, Savage participated in individual drills but the media wasn't allowed to watch team drills.
Aug 8, 2022
Likely taking at least a week off
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that he doesn't anticipate Savage (hamstring) practicing this week, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage tweaked his hamstring during Friday's Family Night and watched the remainder of practice from the sidelines with ice wrapped around his leg. Both Savage and his head coach have said the injury isn't a long-term concern, but the Packers will still be cautious with their starting safety to avoid a lingering issue. In his absence, Vernon Scott and Shawn Davis will likely garner the majority of playing time at safety during the Packers' preseason game against the 49ers on Friday.
Aug 6, 2022
Tweaks hamstring
Savage exited Friday's Family Night early after tweaking his hamstring, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage watched the remaining portion of practice from the sidelines with ice wrapped around his leg. The issue does not sound seriou sas of now, as the the 2019 NFL Draft first-round pick indicated he doesn't, "think it's a concern." Still, the issue will need to be monitored going forward in order to avoid a lingering issue.
Apr 29, 2022
Fifth-year option exercised
The Packers exercised Savage's fifth-year option for 2023 on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
In 2021, Savage started every game the Packers played for a third straight year, and he was on the field for 96.2 percent of the team's defensive snaps. However, his numbers took a dip from his second season to his third. Regardless, he still totaled 63 tackles, nine pass deflections and two interceptions during the 2021 campaign and will likely play a critical role for Green Bay's defense over the next two seasons.
Feb 3, 2022
Starts every game for third time
Savage made 63 tackles (48 solo) and added two interceptions and nine pass deflections over 17 games in 2021.
ANALYSIS
Savage started every game the Packers played for a third straight year, and he was on the field for 96.2 percent of the defensive snaps. However, his numbers took a bit of a dip from his second season to his third. He will be locked into a starting spot again next season, and the Packers will be hoping he can play at the level he did in 2020, when he picked off four passes and averaged an extra tackle per contest.
Jan 4, 2022
Activated off COVID list
Savage (undisclosed) has been restored from the Packers' reserve/COVID-19 list.
ANALYSIS
One day after being added to the COVID list, Savage has cleared the league's health and safety protocols. It is unclear if he had a false positive or was simply a close contact, but he will now be available for the Packers' regular-season finale verus the Lions. Green Bay has already secured a first-round bye, so the starting strong safety is unlikely to see a full workload in Week 18.
Jan 3, 2022
Added to COVID list
The Packers have placed Savage on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
ANALYSIS
Savage will now need to clear the league's health and safety protocols ahead of the Packers' Week 17 matchup with the Lions for any chance at suiting up. However, with the team already having clinched a first-round bye, they may already have plans to rest their starting strong safety.
Dec 27, 2021
Snags second interception
Savage tallied eight tackles (five solo) and an interception in the Packers' 24-22 victory over the Browns in Week 16.
ANALYSIS
Savage had gone eight straight games without a pick, but he wasted no time snapping that streak, picking off Cleveland's Baker Mayfield on the Browns' second possession. Savage has not been quite as productive as he was last season, but he has been a rock in the Packers' defensive backfield, playing every defensive snap in nine straight games.
Nov 22, 2021
Misses out on two interceptions
Savage recorded seven tackles (six solo) and two pass deflections in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Savage nearly had a huge day, as he had a second-quarter interception negated by a penalty and a fourth-quarter pick overturned upon review. He did at least set a new season high for stops in a game and played 100 percent of the snaps for the ninth team this season.
Oct 24, 2021
Good to go Sunday
Savage (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against Washington.
ANALYSIS
Savage suffered the concussion last week against the Bears, but he was able to clear the protocol in time to take the field for Week 7. The 24-year-old will take his usual starting spot at safety for Green Bay.
Oct 22, 2021
Questionable with concussion
Savage (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage logged limited practices Thursday and Friday, but it's unclear whether he has cleared the league's concussion protocol. He'll need to clear it in order to suit up in Week 7 after sustaining the injury in the second half of last week's win over Chicago.
Oct 21, 2021
Logs limited practice
Savage (concussion) was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old suffered a concussion in the Packers' Week 6 victory over the Bears, a game in which he recorded an interception. He is still in concussion protocol and it is yet to be seen if Savage will be cleared for Sunday's matchup with Washington. Overall on the season, the safety has recorded 19 tackles, two pass deflections and an interception.
Oct 18, 2021
Picks off first pass of season
Savage produced three solo tackles, one pass deflection and one interception during Sunday's 24-14 win over the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Savage intercepted an errant Justin Fields' pass in the back of the end zone during the first half of Week 6. However, the 24-year-old safety suffered a concussion on the opening kickoff of the second half and was sidelined for the remainder of the game. When healthy, Savage can provide fantasy value in deeper IDP leagues, but his production is turnover dependent.
Oct 17, 2021
Concussion confirmed
Savage (head) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Savage's worst scenario has been confirmed, as the safety has been diagnosed with a concussion and he won't return to action. Henry Black would be in line to assume most of his snaps at free safety as a result.
Oct 17, 2021
Evaluated for possible concussion
Savage (head) is being evaluated for a possible concussion, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage suffered the injury while covering the opening kick of the second half, and he's yet to return to the field. If he can't return, then Henry Black would be in line to assume most of his snaps at free safety.
Sep 20, 2021
Ready to play Monday
Savage (shoulder) is active for Monday's matchup with the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage was considered questionable after being limited by a shoulder issue at practice this week, but he's good to go for Monday's contest. The 24-year-old had only one tackle in 51 defensive snaps during the season opener before exiting with the injury, and he'll attempt to make more of an impact in Week 2.
Sep 18, 2021
Carries questionable tag
Savage (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Savage played 51 of 62 defensive snaps in Week 1 before he suffered a shoulder injury, though the blowout nature of the game may have factored into the team's decision to hold Savage out. The 2019 first-round pick was a limited participant in practice all week. Last year, he registered 75 tackles (56 solo), 12 pass breakups and four interceptions through 15 contests.
Sep 16, 2021
Limited in practice
Savage (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Savage was forced out of Sunday's Week 1 loss with a shoulder injury, but it was encouraging to see him participate in the first practice of the week in a limited capacity. If the 24-year-old is unable to return for Monday night's game against the Lions, Henry Black will likely take over as the starting free safety.
Sep 12, 2021
Won't return in Week 1
Savage has been officially ruled out of Sunday's game against New Orleans, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Even though Savage's return was initially called questionable, this result makes sense given that he departed in the fourth quarter of a blowout loss. He'll surely undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury.
Sep 12, 2021
Injures shoulder Sunday
Savage is questionable to return to Sunday's game with a shoulder injury, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage's injury leaves the Packers at least temporarily without their starting free safety. In his absence, Henry Black should see extra snaps.
Jan 4, 2021
Makes career-high 10 stops
Savage made a career-high 10 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Savage did not do much early in the season, but something clicked for the 2019 first-rounder midway through the campaign, and he made a lot of noise in November and December. To be precise, over the final eight games of the regular season, Savage racked up 43 tackles (34 solo), a sack, four interceptions and 10 pass deflections.
Dec 29, 2020
Another solid outing
Savage recorded five tackles (two solo), three passes defensed and an interception across 52 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Savage continues to shine in coverage, as he recorded his fourth interception of the season (he had another dropped interception in the contest). Over the past seven games he's been targeted 16 times, allowing just three receptions for 57 yards and no touchdowns.
Dec 15, 2020
Sack on Sunday
Savage recorded eight tackles and a sack across 68 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Savage was dealing with a groin injury all week during practice but was ultimately able to lace them up Sunday and made a big impact as a result. It was the first sack of the young safety's career. He now has 54 tackles (40 solo), eight passes defensed, three interceptions, one sack and a fumble recovery across 12 games this season.
Dec 13, 2020
Ready to face Detroit
Savage (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old was added to the injury report Friday with the groin issue, but it won't prevent him from suiting up for Sunday's divisional matchup. Savage went without an interception through the first nine games of the season, but he has three interceptions in the past two contests.
Dec 11, 2020
Late addition to injury report
Savage (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage made his first appearance on the injury report Friday, meaning he likely picked up his groin injury during the final practice session of the week. He'll be evaluated over the weekend and could be a true game-time decision Sunday. If Savage is forced to sit out, Will Redmond is the top candidate to start at free safety.
Dec 9, 2020
Picks off Hurts
Savage registered two tackles and an interception in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Savage's interception of Jalen Hurts just after the two-minute warning ended Philadelphia's hopes of erasing a late two-score deficit. All three of Savage's interceptions this season have come in the last two games.
Dec 4, 2020
Good to go Sunday
Savage (back) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage's practice reps were capped all week after he logged a season-low 57 percent snap share in last week's win over the Bears. However, he's gained clearance for Sunday's NFC showdown and will start at free safety. The 2019 first-round pick has produced 44 tackles, seven pass breakups and two interceptions through 10 games.
Dec 2, 2020
Managing practice reps
Savage was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice due to a back injury.
ANALYSIS
Savage appears to be managing the back injury that he suffered in Sunday's win over the Bears. He made a big impact in the game before departing, however, picking off Mitchell Trubisky twice in the win. Expect Savage's practice availability throughout the week to paint a clearer picture for his chances to suit up in Sunday's game against Philadelphia.
Nov 29, 2020
Hurts back after pair of picks
Savage (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Savage picked up his injury with the Packers nursing a large second-half lead, so he's likely to be done for the night as a precaution if nothing else. He intercepted Mitchell Trubisky twice before getting injured.
Nov 1, 2020
Ready for NFC North showdown
Savage (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
The second-year man was able to participate in limited sessions throughout the practice week, providing at least a decent chance for him to make his sixth start of the season Week 8. Savage was removed part way through Green Bay's Oct. 18 loss to the Buccaneers because of the quadriceps injury, though he ultimately was only forced to sit out one game.
Oct 30, 2020
Questionable after limited practice
Savage (quadriceps) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage practiced on a limited basis in all three sessions this week, which is a marked improvement over last week, when he failed to practice all week before ultimately sitting out against the Texans. If Savage isn't quite ready to retake the field yet, then Will Redmond will continue to fill in at safety.
Oct 28, 2020
Limited during Wednesday's session
Savage (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Savage missed last Sunday's win over the Texans after sitting out practice all week, so he's taken a step in the right direction by returning to the field Wednesday. Will Redmond started in Savage's place and will do so again if the 2019 first-rounder can't shake his injury in time for this Sunday's game versus the Vikings.
Oct 25, 2020
Inactive as expected
Savage (quadriceps) won't suit up in Sunday's game against Houston.
ANALYSIS
Savage came into the game drawing a doubtful tag after sitting out of practice all week, so this news isn't surprising. With Savage sidelined, Raven Greene is expected to draw the start at free safety, with Will Redmond in line to receive an uptick in special teams snaps.
Oct 23, 2020
Deemed doubtful for Sunday
Savage (quadriceps) is doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Savage left early during this past Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers due to a quad injury, and he's expected to miss at least one game after sitting out practice all week. Raven Greene is expected to start at free safety in Savage's place, although Will Redmond should receive a decent increase in his workload as well.
Oct 21, 2020
Misses practice Wednesday
Savage (quadriceps) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Savage suffered the injury during the third quarter of last week's loss to Tampa Bay, and he failed to return to the field. It's unclear how serious the quadriceps issue is, but if the injury was to hold out Savage for Week 7, Raven Greene would be in line for the start at free safety.
Oct 18, 2020
Picks up quad injury
Savage (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Savage was forced off the field late in the third quarter. The second-year safety had five tackles (three solo) before exiting Sunday's contest.
Sep 27, 2020
Playing Week 3
Savage (groin) is active for Sunday's game in New Orleans, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage was a late addition to the Packers' Week 3 injury report, showing up Friday as a limited practice participant due to a groin injury and earning a questionable designation. Now that he's available to the defense, expect Savage to log his usual snap count, which has equated to roughly 90 percent of those plays and nine tackles in two games this season.
Sep 25, 2020
Questionable for Week 3
Savage (groin) was limited at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Oftentimes, getting added to the injury report at the last second indicates an injury suffered in practice. In Savage's case, a groin issue resulted in a less-than-full session Friday. On the season, the second-year safety has played 90 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps, which has equated to nine tackles (five solo) through two games. If Savage can't play his full allotment of plays Sunday, Will Redmond and Raven Greene are the candidates to pick up the slack at free safety.
Jan 21, 2020
Productive rookie season
Savage appeared in 14 regular-season games in his rookie season and piled up 55 tackles (42 solo), two interceptions, two forced fumbles, and five pass deflections.
ANALYSIS
Savage stepped right into the starting lineup after being selected in the first round of the 2019 draft, and he occupied that spot all season except for the two games he missed in October with an ankle injury. Savage showed some of the playmaking abilities that that led to his early selection next April, and with a full season of professional football under his belt, the Packers will be counting on him to make even more plays in his second campaign.
Nov 29, 2019
Expected to play Sunday
Savage (back) does not have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Savage put in a full practice Friday, a day after he was limited due to the back issue. He has made at least four tackles in four straight games.
Nov 28, 2019
Pops up on injury report
Savage (back) was limited in practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Savage was not listed on the practice report Wednesday, so it's likely this issue cropped up since then. If it forces the rookie to sit out, Ibraheim Campbell could get extra reps Sunday against the Giants.
Oct 27, 2019
Cleared to play
Savage (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Jason Wahlers of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage was deemed a game-time decision, and he underwent pregame testing to determine his status. He was given the green light, though, so Savage will return to his starting strong safety role for the first time since he was injured in Week 5 against the Cowboys. Savage has 18 tackles, three pass breakups and an interception in five games this year.
Oct 27, 2019
Game-time call Sunday
Savage (ankle) is expected to be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Rapoport, the team feels optomistic that their 2019 first-round pick will be ready, but the official word will come an hour and a half before kickoff when inactives come out. Savage put in a full practice session this week after sitting out since Week 5 with the ankle injury. If he can't go Sunday, look for Will Redmond to get the start at free safety.
Oct 25, 2019
Questionable for Week 8
Savage (ankle) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage was able to put in a full practice Wednesday but he regressed to limited participation over the last two days to earn the questionable tag. The rookie safety seems headed for a game-time decision in Kansas City after missing the last two contests.
Oct 24, 2019
Practices with limitations
Savage (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After being listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough session, Savage has taken a step back Thursday in the form of a limited practice. The rookie first-round pick appears to have a shot at suiting up against the Chiefs on Sunday, depending on what he's able to do in Friday's practice. Savage missed Green Bay's last two games.
Oct 23, 2019
Back at practice
Savage (ankle) was a full participant for Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
It was Savage's first practice availability since he suffered the ankle injury in Week 5, and appears ready for a return to the field. The Packers haven't officially said Savage is playing Sunday, but his practice availability suggests he's ready. Likely to play, the 2019 first-round pick will assume his usual role as the team's starting free safety.
Oct 18, 2019
Ruled out again
Savage (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage has yet to practice in any capacity since suffering an ankle injury Week 5. The rookie first-round pick will now miss a second straight contest, and a timetable for his recovery remains undisclosed.
Oct 16, 2019
Still not practicing
Savage (ankle) was listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Savage has now sat out four straight practices since suffering the ankle injury Week 5 at Dallas. The 22-year-old will need to return to the practice field Thursday or Friday to have a chance of playing this week against the Raiders.
Oct 12, 2019
Will miss Monday's game
Savage (ankle) was ruled out for Monday's game against the Lions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage didn't practice all week after injuring his ankle in last Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Will Redmond has proved to be a versatile secondary member, so he'll slot in at free safety in Savage's place.
Oct 10, 2019
Non-participant Thursday
Savage (ankle) did not practice Thursday. According to Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the safety remains in a walking boot.
ANALYSIS
Savage sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Cowboys that forced him from the game. His sporting of a walking boot is not an encouraging sign for his Week 6 prospectus, though the injury is thought to be minor. The Packers' only listed depth safety, Will Redmond, is also listed on the injury report with a shoulder ailment, so the Packers may need to get creative with their defensive packages Monday against the Lions.
Oct 8, 2019
Sports walking boot
Savage was spotted wearing a walking boot on his left ankle Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage's injury was initially considered minors, and that may still be the case but the Packers are taking the necessary precautions either way. The rookie safety played every defensive snap up until this injury, so his absence from the secondary could be troubling with a matchup against the pass-heavy Lions -- 35.3 attempts per game -- on Monday night. Keep an eye on his practice status when the first injury report comes out Thursday.
Oct 7, 2019
Ankle injury considered minor
Savage (ankle) is nursing a minor injury suffered during Sunday's win over the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage reportedly tweaked his ankle Sunday and isn't expected to miss significant time. The rookie first-round pick is being counted on as an every-down starter in Green Bay's secondary, so the extent of his participation in practice will be worth monitoring heading into a Week 6 divisional tilt against the Lions.
Oct 6, 2019
Exits with ankle injury
Savage was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Cowboys with an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Savage's leg got caught up underneath a Cowboys' player as he was making a tackle, and Savage immediately hopped off the field without putting pressure on his leg. The rookie first-round pick played every defensive snap over the first four weeks, and the Packers will be left with just two healthy safeties -- Adrian Amos and Will Redmond -- without him. However, the Packers may bump Tramon Williams from cornerback if necessary.
Sep 16, 2019
Sports walking boot
Savage (shin) was wearing a walking boot following Sunday's 21-16 win over the Vikings, but the Packers don't believe he has a serious injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Savage played all 65 snaps in this game, supporting the notion that it's not a serious issue. However, the Packers are taking the necessary precautions, especially since versatile SS Raven Greene (ankle) could miss some time. Expect the Packers to monitor his practice status leading up to Week 3's game versus the Broncos.
