Packers Trade for Browns Veteran DT Amid Devonte Wyatt’s Knee Injury

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers have reached an agreement in principle to acquire defensive tackle Shelby Harris from the Cleveland Browns, a move designed to stabilize the middle of the defense while Devonte Wyatt recovers from a week-to-week knee injury, according to league sources. Compensation is expected to be a 2026 sixth-round pick, with the deal to be finalized pending a routine physical ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline.

The timing is deliberate. Green Bay’s defense has flashed high-end potential but wobbled when injuries thinned the interior rotation. By adding Harris—a reliable rotational piece with gap-sound run fits, the versatility to play 3-tech/4i, and consistent pocket push on passing downs—the Packers aim to lift their down-to-down efficiency and protect the second level.

From a cap standpoint, Harris’s remaining 2025 salary is expected to fit cleanly within Green Bay’s space and carries no long-term obligations beyond this season, preserving flexibility for late-season needs. On the field, Harris slots immediately into a rotation with Karl Brooks, Colby Wooden, and Nazir Stackhouse—taking early-down run snaps and contributing to interior pressure on third-and-medium/long.

From the moment I got the call from the Packers, it felt like coming home. I’m here to bring stability to the interior, and I believe I can help this team get through this tough stretch,Shelby Harris said.

Practically, Harris provides exactly what coordinator-driven fronts value in October: disciplined A/B-gap control and the ability to collapse the launch point so edge rushers can finish. Internally, the expectation is straightforward—hold serve while Wyatt heals, then expand the menu. If Wyatt returns on schedule, Green Bay anticipates a deeper, more flexible interior capable of toggling between odd/over fronts, mixing sim/creeper pressures, and matching heavier personnel without sacrificing pass-rush integrity.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
