MARCH 13, 2024 • JAGUARS.COM

Set for three-year deal with Jags Savage is slated to ink a three-year contract with Jacksonville, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Savage, a 2019 first-round pick, is fresh off completing his rookie deal with the Packers and will provide an immediate boost at safety for the Jaguars. After an impressive first two seasons in the league Savage struggled from 2021-23, and missed assignments resulted in him even losing his starting job for part of the 2022 campaign. He will look to spark his career under new defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen in Jacksonville.

Darnell Savage misses GOLDEN opportunity to record second pick-six of 2023 postseason Green Bay Packers safety Darnell Savage misses GOLDEN opportunity to record second pick-six of 2023 postseason.

Records pick-six in win Savage had four tackles (three solo) and returned an interception 64 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's 48-32 victory over the Cowboys.

Impact Savage arguably made the key play in Sunday's game, as his pick-six with under two minutes to go in the first half gave Green Bay a relatively-insurmountable 27-0 lead. Savage was rested along with some other starters late in the game and played only 83 percent of the snaps in the contest, but he played all but one snap over the final two weeks of the regular season, so expect him to be plenty busy when the Packers take on the 49ers in the divisional round.

Set to return for Week 17 Savage (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Savage has missed the last two games with a shoulder injury, but has been given the green light to return after logging limited practice sessions all week. He'll resume his starting free safety role alongside starting strong safety Jonathan Owens. Savage has 45 tackles (32 solo) over eight games this season.

Solid effort in loss Savage recorded seven total tackles (six solo) during Monday night's 24-22 loss to the Giants.

Impact The 2019 first-round pick had his best outing since returning from injured reserve in Week 14, tying Isaiah McDuffie for the team's leading tackler. Savage has had some trouble staying on the field thus far, appearing in only eight of the Packers' 13 games. He's been productive when available for Green Bay though, logging seven or more tackles in four of his eight appearances this year. Savage and the Packers' defense will look to rebound Sunday against a Tampa Bay offense that's 22nd in the NFL in points per game.

Has new injury Savage (chest) did not participate during practice Thursday.

Impact Savage missed several weeks with a calf injury but returned to the field against the Chiefs on Sunday and played 90 percent of the team's snaps on defense. Now, the 2019 first-round selection is dealing with a chest injury, which has sidelined him to start Week 14 prep. He'll likely need to get back on the field Friday or Saturday to be cleared to play Monday against the Giants.

With the Packers on a short week, it may lessen the chance he returns in Week 12 against the Lions, although his practice status leading up to Thanksgiving Day will provide more clarity on his potential to do so.
