Gary registered four tackles (two solo) during the Packers' 40-40 tie to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Gary entered Week 4 having logged at least 1.0 sacks in each of the first three games of the regular season. However, he was unable to extend his sack streak to four games and didn't even register a quarterback hit in a game that saw the Packers defense struggle to contain Dak Prescott and the Cowboys' offense. Even so, Gary's 4.5 sacks on the season is tied with Carl Granderson and Nik Bonitto for third most in the NFL behind Brian Burns and Byron Young (5.0 each). The Packers are on a bye for Week 5 and will return for Week 6 on Sunday, Oct. 12 against a Bengals team that yielded three sacks against the Broncos in Week 4.

Packers' Rashan Gary: Starts with 1.5 sacks
Rotowire
Gary recorded seven tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Lions.
Gary immediately benefited from the presence of Micah Parsons on the other side of the defensive line, tying his career high in the tackles column while recording more sacks than he put up in any game during the previous campaign. Gary is still seeking the first double-digit sack season of his career, and with offenses paying plenty of attention to Parsons, he might be primed to get there in 2025.

Packers' Rashan Gary: Ready for action
Rotowire
Gary made a solo tackle in Saturday's 20-7 preseason victory over the Seahawks.
Gary -- along with nearly every other healthy starter on Green Bay's defense -- took the field for the start of Saturday's contest and departed it after Seattle's first drive.

Packers' Rashan Gary: Records 7.5 sacks in 2024
Rotowire
Gary finished the 2024 season with 47 tackles (26 solo), including 7.5 sacks, one pass breakup, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season contests.
Gary started all 17 games for Green Bay and matched his previous career high with his 47 tackles. The 2019 first-rounder has logged at least 5.0 sacks in five consecutive seasons and is up to 39.0 for his career. Gary was named to his first Pro Bowl this past season and has three years left on a four-year, $96 million extension he signed with the Packers in October of 2023. Gary is equally as good defending the run as he is at rushing the passer off the edge for Green Bay.

Rotowire
Gary recorded 44 tackles (23 solo), 9.0 sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and two pass deflections over 17 regular-season games in 2023.
Gary appeared well on his way to reaching double digits in the sack department for the first time, but he did not make a mark in that column after Week 13. He still managed to appear in every game on the schedule after seeing his 2022 campaign cut short by a torn ACL, and he will have a normal offseason heading into the 2024 campaign.

Packers' Rashan Gary: Gets after QB in victory
Rotowire
Gary registered seven tackles (five solo), three sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in Thursday's 29-22 victory over the Lions.
Gary tore the ACL in his right knee at Ford Field in 2022, and that may have provided the motivation he needed to absolutely destroy Detroit's game plan in his latest trip to the stadium. He is now up to 8.5 sacks on the season, and with six games to go he is easily on pace to surpass the career-high 9.5 sacks he registered during the 2021 campaign.
