Picks off Sanders in Week 17 loss Dugger recorded eight tackles (five solo) and one interception during the Steelers' 13-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Impact Dugger's eight tackles Sunday were a season high, and he nabbed his second interception of the season when he jumped in front of a pass from Shedeur Sanders intended for Jerry Jeudy early in the fourth quarter. Since being traded by the Patriots to the Steelers in October, Dugger has logged 40 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks and five pass defenses (one interception and a pick-six) across eight regular-season games with Pittsburgh.

Logs sack vs. Detroit Dugger tallied seven tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Pittsburgh's win versus the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Dugger had his best performance of the campaign during the victory, as he racked up a season-high seven tackles in addition to recording his first sack. The 2020 second-round pick has compiled just 32 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and an interception across seven outings, but he'll look to be more productive across the final two games of the season.

Full participant Thursday Dugger (hand) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dugger missed last Sunday's loss to the Ravens due to a hand injury, but the safety has bounced back and has been cleared of any injury designation before Monday's game against the Dolphins. The 2020 second-round pick is set to suit up Monday as the starting strong safety alongside Jalen Ramsey, looking to get back to the 99 percent or higher defensive snap share he had produced since Week 6.

Ruled out for Sunday Dugger (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Dugger was a recent addition to the injury report on Thursday with a hand injury and was unable to practice due to the issue. In the absence of the defensive back, Chuck Clark will likely start at strong safety. It is also worth considering, based on the Steelers' willingness to move Jalen Ramsey to safety, that recently signed Asante Samuel may also see some reps across from the former cornerback in the deeper portions of the field.

DNP Thursday Duggar (hand) did not practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Duggar popped up on the injury report Thursday with a hand injury, and the inability to practice may be a sign he will not be able to suit up Sunday. The strong safety played 99 percent of defensive snaps in last Sunday's game against the Bills and logged five tackles (one solo) in the loss. If the veteran is unable to suit up, Chuck Clark will likely start Sunday against the Ravens.
