DARNELL SAVAGE NEWS

Added to COVID list The Packers have placed Savage on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Impact Savage will now need to clear the league's health and safety protocols ahead of the Packers' Week 18 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.

Snags second interception Savage tallied eight tackles (five solo) and an interception in the Packers' 24-22 victory over the Browns in Week 16.

Impact 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.
