Leads team with 14 tackles Holcomb posted 14 tackles (10 solo) during Sunday's 43-21 loss to Washington.

Impact Holcomb has recorded double-digit tackles in two of the first three games of the season. The 25-year-old linebacker posted a 100-tackle season during his rookie campaign, but he only played in 11 games last year, which caused him to fall short of the milestone two years in a row. If he can stay healthy, Holcomb is on pace for his best defensive season yet.

Makes 10 starts Holcomb played 11 regular-season games in 2020, recording 72 tackles (45 solo), 2.5 sacks and one interception.

Impact The second-year pro entered Week 1 as a backup and missed weeks two through five with a knee injury, but he ended up starting 11 of Washington's past 12 games, including the playoff loss to Tampa Bay. Holcomb often worked in a three-down role, closing out the year with at least seven tackles and a 73 percent snap share in six consecutive games. His rate of one tackle for every 7.7 snaps hints at considerable IDP value if his role from November-January carries over to his third pro season in 2021. PFF graded Holcomb at No. 24 out of 88 qualified linebackers, seven spots behind teammate Kevin Pierre-Louis and 26 spots ahead of Jon Bostic. Pierre-Louis is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, while Bostic has one year remaining on his contract, and Holcomb has two years left.

11 tackles against Panthers Holcomb recorded 11 tackles (six solo) and a sack across 68 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Panthers.

Impact Holcomb cleared concussion protocol on Sunday in time to take the field and it's a good thing he did, as the linebacker led the team in tackles. He now has 65 tackles (39 solo), 2.5 sacks, a pass defensed and an interception through 10 games this season.

Clear of concussion for Week 16 Holcomb (concussion) is active heading into Sunday's game against the Panthers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Holcomb was able to log back-to-back full practice sessions to close out the week Thursday and Friday, and he's now been officially cleared after being deemed unavailable for a Week 15 matchup against Seattle. The second-year linebacker from North Carolina has started eight of the nine games he's appeared in this season after starting 15 times as a rookie. He's averaged six tackles per game in 2020 with a total of one interception and 1.5 sacks.

Practices in full Friday Holcomb (concussion) logged another full practice session Friday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact That marks two straight full practice sessions for Holcomb, so he appears good to go for Sunday's clash against Carolina assuming he is able to clear the league's concussion protocol.

Logs full practice session Thursday Holcomb (concussion) practiced in full Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Holcomb missed Sunday's loss to Seattle after suffering the concussion during practice last week, but his ability to practice in full Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session bodes well for his chances of returning Week 16. Still, he'll need to clear the league's concussion protocol before he's officially able to suit up.

Unavailable for Week 15 Holcomb (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Holcomb appeared to have suffered a concussion during the practice week, and he'll enter the league's five-step concussion protocol. Kevin Pierre-Louis (ankle) will also sit out, meaning Khaleke Hudson, Jared Norris and Thomas Davis likely will rotate in at the outside linebacker positions against an efficient Seahawks run game.
