Diggs

They will lose Nick Rogers because of a bone bruise in his knee, however.

He’ll wear a rib protector similar to what many QBs wear. Green Bay’s defense is healthier than it’s been all season.

Further tests will determine the timeframe today. The Packers feared Diggs, a key starter on their defense, could be done for the season. Ray Thompson moves to starting weak-side linebacker for now.

Ray Thompson will step into the starting role for now. As weak-side linebackers go, Diggs is pretty uninspiring in IDP leagues even if healthy.

Len Pasquarelli reported Thomas Davis would be the Panthers WLB, but it appears he’ll play the strong side, as believed initially. The Panthers’ starting weak-side position is one to watch closely for IDP purposes.

Diggs is listed as day-to-day.

While covering a punt, Diggs, Carolina’s starting weak-side linebacker, collapsed to the ground for several minutes before being helped off the field by trainers. Diggs’ leg was heavily wrapped as he watched the game from a cart on the sidelines. His status for the rest of the preseason is uncertain.

Diggs, injured in Thursday’s exhibition, is still uncertain how long he’ll be out. Keith Adams and James Anderson will compete in his place.

Diggs is listed as questionable but should start on the weak side. He’s a sleeper in leagues that use individual defensive players.
