Back in August, we were all wondering how many snaps he was going to get with Clay Matthews and Nick Perry occupying the edge rusher spots.
Well, thanks to Perry being injured yet again, Fackrell has raised plenty of eyebrows. I think he’s raised so many eyebrows that it’s not hyperbole to say that Fackrell has supplanted Perry as the 2019 starter. (Of course, that’s assuming the Packers will pony up Perry’s dead cap number of $11.1 million and get out from that awful decision.)
The reason this season is such a shock is because Fackrell hasn’t really done much since being a third round draft pick in 2016.
