turned and broke up the Brees pass in the end zone...Had one of the key blocks on WR Randall Cobb’s NFL record-tying 108-yard KR-TD when he teamed with TE Andrew Quarless to combination block DE Junior Galette and maintained the play long enough to get Cobb into the open field...Also nearly downed a P Tim Masthay punt at the 1-yard line late in the fourth quarter, but officials determined his foot was touching the goal line when he caught the ball and ruled it a touchback. at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Saw extensive action as the nickel CB in the absence of regular starter Tramon Williams (shoulder) and recorded a career-high seven tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed during the game...Pass break-up came when he closed swiftly and batted away QB Cam Newton’s pass intended for TE Greg Olsen on a quick-out in the second quarter...Also played with a continued physicality near the line of scrimmage, including a run play where he fought off a block by Olsen and dropped RB DeAngelo

wall off LB Nate Irving to allow WR Jordy Nelson time to secure the ball and seize the possession that ultimately resulted in a Green Bay TD. at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Appeared on defense briefly as

punt. at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Appeared briefly on defense and on special teams but did not record any statistics. vs. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Saw increased playing time with the defense
