Gets big workload in Brazil
McDuffie recorded six tackles (three solo) during Friday's 34-29 loss against Philadelphia.
McDuffie was on the field for nearly all of the Packers' defensive snaps in Week 1, indicating he could project for some IDP value for the remainder of the season. He should see a good dose of the run versus the Colts in Week 2.

Steps into larger role
McDuffie tallied 86 tackles (56 solo), a half sack and a pass deflection over 16 games in the 2023 season.
McDuffie did not play even one snap on defense in his 2021 rookie season, but he was on the field for 17 percent of the snaps in 2022, and that number jumped all the way to 48 percent in 2023. His role heading into 2024 will hinge significantly on whether or not De'Vondre Campbell is brought back, but if Campbell moves on McDuffie will have a chance to open the season as the starting inside linebacker alongside Quay Walker.
Will play in divisional round
McDuffie (neck) is active for Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
McDuffie was a limited participant in Wednesday's and Thursday's practice and is good to go for Saturday's contest. He sustained the neck injury in the Packers' wild-card win over the Cowboys. McDuffie played 21 snaps -- 15 on defense, nine on special teams -- against Dallas and finished with six tackles (five solo).
Status in question for Saturday
McDuffie (neck) is considered questionable to play Saturday versus the 49ers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers official website reports.
McDuffie sustained a neck injury in the team's wild-card round win over the Cowboys and he logged a limited practice at Thursday's only official padded session of the week. If the linebacker can't go in Saturday's divisional round matchup in San Francisco, Eric Wilson is the most likely candidate to see extra usage versus the 49ers.
Limited practice Wednesday
McDuffie (neck) was a limited participant at the Packers' practice Wednesday.
McDuffie suffered a neck injury in the team's 48-32 win over the Cowboys in the wild-card round, opening the week as a non-participant at Tuesday's practice, but he was back on the field one day later. The linebacker will look to build off of Thursday's session at Friday's final practice of the week ahead of Saturday's matchup with the 49ers in the divisional round.
Misses Tuesday's practice
McDuffie (neck) did not participate at practice Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
McDuffie picked up a neck issue during Sunday's win at Dallas, and now he's sitting out of the Packers' first practice of the new week. He'll likely need to practice Wednesday or Thursday to have a chance to suit up Saturday.
In line to play Sunday
McDuffie (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
McDuffie missed the Packers' regular-season finale with a concussion, but after a week of limited practice sessions, it seems as if he's cleared protocol and moved past the issue. Expect the third-year pro to assume his regular duties as Green Bay's top reserve inside linebacker in Sunday's wild-card outing.
Stays limited Thursday
McDuffie (concussion) was limited in Thursday's practice.
He was also estimated as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough. McDuffie was concussed in Week 17 and remains in the league's protocol. He has two more days to progress through it ahead of Sunday's wild-card clash with the Cowboys.
Limited at Wednesday walkthrough
McDuffie (concussion/neck) was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough
McDuffie suffered a concussion Week 17 against Minnesota and wasn't able to return for Sunday's win over Chicago. The linebacker didn't practice at all last week, so it's a positive development that he was able to log a limited session Wednesday, though it should be noted that Green Bay held a walkthrough, thus McDuffie's participation was merely an estimation. McDuffie will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up for Sunday's wild-card game against the Cowboys.
