Inside linebacker Justin Strnad hasn’t had much playing time since his college days, mainly due to a season-ending wrist injury and subsequent surgery his rookie year.
Strnad did see some action last season, playing in 16 games, starting five of them after Alexander Johnson and Josey Jewell were injured. He completed 23 solo tackles and 13 assists, plus one quarterback hit.
Ultimately Strnad would be benched in favor of rookie linebacker Baron Browning and new-to-the-orange-and-blue Kenny Young. Not everybody comes in burning up the field.
