Fangio was asked about the starting job whether or not Devin White is able to play in Week 2, but without hesitation, he noted, “Nakobe’s the starter.” The DC later said that they obviously spoke to White about the decision, pointing out that more-veteran LB is still a good player — he tweaked his ankle last week, but he’s still a part of it.
