Devonte Wyatt, the Green Bay Packers defensive tackle, has had a disappointing start to the 2026 season after signing a three-year, $57 million extension. In three games, he has not recorded any sacks and only two quarterback pressures across 111 defensive snaps. His overall defensive grade ranks 90th among interior linemen. Wyatt's performance contrasts sharply with his 2025 season, where he had 2.0 sacks and 13 pressures in the same period. Despite an increase in salary this season, he has not returned to form after last year's knee injury and subsequent ankle injury. There are still opportunities for Wyatt to improve as the season progresses.
