Quick answer
WatchShepherd had 3 solo tackles, 0.5 sacks in 2026, ranking DL107 through 4 games. He ranks DL107 through 4 games, down from DL48. Early, not a finished step down. At 33, age is the lead risk for a DL. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
