With 19 combined tackles, two pass breakups and a pair of interceptions in the season’s first six games, the fourth-year playmaker was on pace to surpass some his 2018 totals — 57 tackles, three pass breakups and one interception in 14 games (10 starts) — prior to sustaining the major shoulder injury.
