  • Jaguars' Darnell Savage: Over ankle injury

    Savage (ankle) was absent from the Jaguars' injury report Wednesday. 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.

  • Jaguars' Darnell Savage: Not on injury report

    Savage (head) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report. 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.

  • Jaguars' Darnell Savage: 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. 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.

  • Jaguars' Darnell Savage: Begins week as limited

    Savage (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. 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.

  • Jaguars' Darnell Savage: 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. 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.

  • Jaguars' Darnell Savage: Returning Week 4

    Head coach Doug Pederson said Tuesday that Savage (quadriceps) will be back this week, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports. 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 availability, and he should still be considered questionable for now.

  • Jaguars' Darnell Savage: 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. 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.

  • Jaguars' Darnell Savage: Listed as questionable for Week 3

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.

  • Jaguars' Darnell Savage: Logs DNP

    Savage (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday. 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 will be notably short-handed 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.

  • Jaguars' Darnell Savage: Set for three-year deal with Jags

    Savage is slated to ink a three-year contract with Jacksonville, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. 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 reignite his career under new defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen in Jacksonville.

  • Packers' Darnell Savage: 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 wild-card victory over the Cowboys. 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; therefore, expect him to be plenty busy when the Packers take on the 49ers in the divisional round.

  • Packers' Darnell Savage: One stop in return

    Savage had one solo tackle in Sunday's 33-10 win over the Vikings. 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.

  • Packers' Darnell Savage: Missing another week

    Savage (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers. 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.

  • Packers' Darnell Savage: Will miss Week 15

    Savage (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's matchup versus the Buccaneers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. 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.

  • Packers' Darnell Savage: 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. Savage was able to play through a calf injury in last Sunday's win over the Chiefs, but he suffered 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 strong safety Rudy Ford.

  • Packers' Darnell Savage: 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. 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.

  • Packers' Darnell Savage: Getting closer to return

    Savage (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday. Savage is now eligible to be added back to the 53-man roster, but the Packers will have the ability to evaluate him in practice over the next 21 days before having to activate him. With the Packers facing a quick turnaround for Week 12 with a Thursday matchup against the Lions, it may make sense for the team to hold off on activating Savage until at least Week 13 so that he can get in a full slate of practices. The Packers listed Savage as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

  • Packers' Darnell Savage: Expected to miss multiple games

    Savage is expected to be out for multiple games with a calf injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports. 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. Jonathan Owens will likely start at safety in his absence.

  • Packers' Darnell Savage: Leads team in tackles

    Savage had 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 38-20 victory over the Bears. 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.

  • Packers' Darnell Savage: Starts three preseason games

    Savage made a solo tackle in Saturday's 19-15 preseason victory over the Seahawks. 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.
