Isaiah McDuffie Injury History & Analysis

Packers LB Quay Walker is inactive for today's game against the Lions. It'll be his second straight missed game with a neck injury. Isaiah McDuffie filled in last week -- and after Walker left Week 11 early -- and has delivered good fantasy numbers. He jumps into the top 30 of our Week 13 LB ranks with Walker out. CB Keisean Nixon is active after entering the day questionable.

Packers LB Isaiah McDuffie left Sunday night's win over the Vikings with a concussion. He was filling in for LB De'Vondre Campbell (neck), so we'll see about the status of both players for a Week 18 matchup with the Bears. Green Bay holds the No. 7 position in NFC playoff seeding right now but could still be passed with a loss to Chicago.

The Packers have ruled LB De'Vondre Campbell (neck) out for Sunday's game against the Panthers. That pushes Isaiah McDuffie into the starting lineup for what will be his eighth start. McDuffie tallied at least 5 solos in each of those seven previous starts and averaged 9.1 total tackles. He'll be an option for tackle-friendly IDP lineups. McDuffie sits in LB3 territory of our Week 16 rankings. Quay Walker spent the whole practice week limited but carries no injury designation into the game. He should be fine to use. Green Bay also ruled out S Darnell Savage (shoulder).
