Isaiah McDuffie Latest News
Re-signs with Green Bay

The Packers signed McDuffie to a two-year, $8.0 million deal Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. McDuffie, a 2021 sixth-round pick from Boston College, will remain in Green Bay after spending the first four years of his career with the Packers. Under his new contract, he can earn up to $9.5 million if he reaches all incentives. The 25-year-old has played 1,150 defensive snaps and appeared in 33 regular-season games over the last two campaigns, recording 183 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, four passes defended and one forced fumble. McDuffie will likely serve as the Packers' top backup inside linebacker again in 2025, playing behind Quay Walker and Edgerrin Cooper.
Entering 2025 as UFA

McDuffie finished the 2024 regular season with 97 tackles (46 solo), including 0.5 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble across 17 games. McDuffie finished as the Packers' second-leading tackler behind Quay Walker (102). McDuffie started in every single game in 2024, though he failed to play more than 30 defensive snaps in the final four games of the regular season and Green Bay's one playoff game. The 2021 sixth-round pick will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and should get plenty of interest from teams looking to bolster their linebacker corps.
Ready for Sunday night

McDuffie (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday night's matchup against the Seahawks, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. McDuffie practiced in full Friday after opening the week with consecutive limited sessions, so it appears he's moved past his ankle injury in time to play Sunday night. The Boston College product played 100 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps in a Week 14 loss to the Lions and recorded a career-best 15 total tackles. However, he'll likely revert to his reserve role in Week 15 with rookie Edgerrin Cooper returning from injury.
Still managing ankle issue

McDuffie (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. McDuffie has been nursing an ankle issue since late November, but it hasn't yet cost him any time. In fact, he played 100 percent of Green Bay's defensive snaps for the first time this season Thanksgiving Day versus Detroit and finished with a season-high 15 tackles. With that in mind, McDuffie currently doesn't seem to be in danger of missing Sunday's matchup against Seattle, though it makes sense to keep an eye on his practice participation the remainder of the week.
Career-high 15 tackles vs. Detroit

McDuffie tallied 15 tackles (four solo) in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions in Week 14. McDuffie played 100 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps for the first time this season, and he accounted for a tackle on 19.7 percent of those snaps. He's registered 25 total tackles over his last two outings, which is more than what he accumulated across the five games prior. With four regular-season games left in 2024, McDuffie has matched his output from 2023 with 86 combined tackles (including 0.5 sacks), along with three pass defenses and one forced fumble over 13 games.
Past ankle issue

McDuffie (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. McDuffie opened the Packers' week of practice with consecutive estimated limited sessions after playing through an ankle issue in the Week 13 win over the Dolphins. However, he was listed as a full participant Friday, indicating that he's moved past his ankle injury in time to suit up in Week 14. With Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring) sidelined for the third consecutive game Thursday, McDuffie is expected to start alongside Quay Walker in the Packers' inside linebacker corps.
Limited Monday

McDuffie (ankle) was a limited participant in Monday's practice. McDuffie played through his ankle issue in the Packers' Thanksgiving Day win over the Dolphins, recording 10 total tackles and one forced fumble over 58 defensive snaps. However, Monday's limited practice session suggests the Boston College product is still dealing with the injury. Rookie Edgerrin Cooper has yet to return to practice since sustaining a hamstring injury, so McDuffie will likely serve as one of the Packers' top inside linebackers again in Thursday night's matchup against the Lions if he's able to suit up.
Notches 10 stops Week 13

McDuffie registered 10 tackles (seven solo) and forced a fumble Thursday in a 30-17 win against Miami. McDuffie's tackle total tied for the Packers lead and marked the first time this season he's totaled double-digit stops in a game. The linebacker's 89 percent defensive-snap share was his highest since Week 2. McDuffie is up to 71 tackles, including 0.5 sacks, through 12 contests on the campaign.
Good to go Thursday

McDuffie (ankle) is active for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. McDuffie is unlikely going to be playing at 100 percent health due to an ankle injury, but he will play through the issue Thursday. The fourth-year linebacker has logged 61 tackles (29 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and two pass defenses over 11 regular-season games.
