KYLER FACKRELL
Finds home with Chargers Fackrell signed a contract with the Chargers on Wednesday.
Impact Fackrell bounced back with four sacks with the Giants in 2020, but his production was still a far cry from the 10.5-sack campaign he turned in with Green Bay back in 2018. Now with the Chargers, he'll help bolster a pass rush that's lost longtime standout Melvin Ingram to free agency.

Manages four sacks in 2020 Fackrell had 34 tackles (23 solo), four sacks, two defended passes and one interception (which he returned for a touchdown) across 12 games with the Giants in 2020.
Impact Fackrell started nine of 12 appearances in his inaugural season with the Giants, but his defensive role didn't translate into consistent enough fantasy numbers to warrant much IDP consideration. The 29-year-old is set to hit free agency this offseason, and he may have to settle for a depth role at his next landing spot.

Activated off IR Fackrell (lower leg) was activated off injured reserve and will be available for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Zack Rosenblatt of the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact Fackrell is slated to make his first appearance since Week 12, reclaiming his starting gig at outside linebacker across from Jabaal Sheard with Carter Coughlin providing depth.

Trending toward Week 17 return Fackrell (lower leg) is expected to return from IR and suit up against the Cowboys on Sunday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Fackrell hasn't suited up since Week 12 due to a lower leg injury, but it looks like he should be back in the starting lineup for Sunday's key divisional battle. Prior to being injured, Fackrell had put together seven straight starts at outside linebacker.

Won't be activated for Week 16 Fackrell (lower leg) is not expected to be activated for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Impact Fackrell has been residing on injured reserve since Dec. 1, but a return to practice Wednesday provided hope for a potential Week 16 appearance. The Packers' 2016 third-round draft choice started each of his seven game outings between Weeks 5 and 12, but Carter Coughlin now stands to garner a third consecutive start at outside linebacker with Fackrell unavailable.

Returning to practice The Giants designated Fackrell (lower leg) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Fackrell has missed his requisite three games while on IR, so he's eligible to return as early as Sunday's matchup in Baltimore. New York could also opt to take an extended look at Fackrell in practice, while targeting Week 17 versus the Cowboys as a return date. From Weeks 5 to 10, Fackrell handled a starting role in the Giants' linebacker corps.

Shifts to IR The Giants placed Fackrell (lower leg) on injured reserve Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Impact Fackrell suffered a lower-leg injury during this past Sunday's win over Cincinnati and will require at least three weeks of recovery. He's eligible to return in Week 16 against the Ravens. In his first season in New York, Fackrell started eight of 11 games and produced 31 tackles and three sacks. Jabaal Sheard and Cam Brown are candidates to start in Fackrell's place, although Oshane Ximines (shoulder) has been designated to return from IR and could be an option as well.

Status remains in question Fackrell (lower leg) will have his status updated Wednesday or Thursday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Impact Coach Joe Judge couldn't offer much on the 28-year-old's lower leg injury, but his participation when the Giants return to practice Wednesday should provide some indication of the severity of the issue. Cam Brown likely will have an increased role if Fackrell is forced to miss time.

Day comes to end Fackrell (calf) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Cincinnati, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Impact New York will have to proceed without one of its starting outside linebackers for the remainder of the day, an additional loss at the position after Lorenzo Carter (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve Oct. 19. Cam Brown will likely be elevated into a prime role for the remainder of the afternoon as a result of Fackrell's departure.

Avoids injury report Fackrell (neck) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Impact Fackrell was limited in practice due to a neck injury all week, but it doesn't look like his availability was ever in serious danger. He'll draw his usual start at linebacker versus Washington.
