Overview

• NFL insider Ari Meirov highlighted Dugger on Monday as a name to watch, citing late-game preseason snaps and consistent work with the second unit under the new staff.
• In the first practice after Saturday’s game, Dugger again worked with the scout team, and local reporters Phil Perry and Alex Barth have projected he could be cut, placing him on the roster bubble.
• Wolf responded that there is still a role for Dugger as the staff evaluates safety combinations and communication on the back end.
• Dugger signed a four-year, $58 million extension last year, and teammate Jabrill Peppers said he is working back from the ankle injury that disrupted his 2024 season.
• NBCS Boston reported Wolf would consider dealing a first- or second-round pick if it helps the team, a stance that could shape any decision involving Dugger.
