Darnell Savage Fantasy

Green Bay Packers starting safety Darnell Savage (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the team's traditional "Family Night" practice at Lambeau Field on Friday. The former first-round pick in 2019 said he doesn't "think it's a concern." "It's a fast-people injury. Some of those things you can't avoid. I'll just handle it the right way and listen to those guys back there and I'll be all right." The 25-year-old finished his third NFL season in 2021 with 63 tackles (48 solo), two interceptions and nine passes defensed in 17 regular season starts. The Packers defense is a strong suit for them heading into the 2022 season, and they might have their best defensive unit since they won the Super Bowl in 2010.

The Green Bay Packers added starting safety Darnell Savage and offensive tackle Dennis Kelly to the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Savage, who is in his third year with the Packers, has two interceptions, 58 tackles (44 solo) and nine passes defensed in 16 games played this year. Kelly made his third straight start in the Week 17 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night after missing time with an injury earlier in the year. In all, Kelly has played in nine games this season. The Packers are already locked into the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC and will have a first-round bye in the playoffs, so they're likely to rest most of their starters this Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Savage and Kelly should be back for the team's first playoff game.

The Green Bay Packers traded up with the Seahawks and selected Maryland safety Darnell Savage with the No. 21 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. It's Green Bay's second pick of the first round on Thursday night. Savage is extremely versatile and had seven interceptions the last two years with excellent ball skills in the secondary. He's also a good tackler, has great range and can also cover receivers in the slot. Savage will be a Swiss Army knife for Green Bay's secondary in 2019 and beyond.
