Darnell Savage Fantasy

Green Bay Packers safety Darnell Savage (calf) has been activated from the injured reserve ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Savage has been out since Week 7 after he suffered a calf strain. His return is good news for the Packers defensive unit heading into this tough matchup. The expectation is that Savage will resume his normal role on defense and won't be limited during Sunday's game.

Green Bay Packers safety Darnell Savage (calf) will be placed on Injured Reserve after suffering a calf injury in the Week 7 loss to the Denver Broncos. Savage has played in all six games this season, posting 22 solo tackles and 12 assisted tackles. Jaire Alexander (back) and Eric Stokes (hamstring) are also dealing with injuries, so Green Bay may have to rely on backup defensive backs moving forward. This does not bode well for a Packers team that is trending in the wrong direction after a 2-1 start to the 2023 season. In the absence of Savage, Jonathan Owens should see more playing time.

Green Bay Packers safety Darnell Savage (calf) will miss multiple games after aggravating his calf injury in the Week 7 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, according to a source. Savage first sustained the injury in the Oct. 9 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He left in the second quarter and could wind up on Injured Reserve, which would keep him out at least four games. The Packers also lost defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (knee) and cornerback Eric Stokes (hamstring) in the loss to the Broncos. Green Bay was already without cornerback Jaire Alexander (back) and linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (ankle). Their defense could be pretty short-handed for a Week 8 divisional clash at home this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
