The Commanders&#8217; defender was tagged after his facemask penalty on Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White in the Wild Card round.<\/p>\n<section data-ad-dockable=\"true\" data-embed-group=\"read-more\" data-embed-items=\"2\" data-redesign-embed=\"true\"><\/section>\n<h3>Green Bay Packers<\/h3>\n<p>With 4:53 left in the fourth quarter, the Packers defensive line engulfed Barkley for no gain &#8211; a stop could have given Green Bay a chance to chip into Philadelphia&#8217;s league.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, both players shoved the All-Pro running back into the ground, earning a 15-yard penalty and giving the Eagles a first down.<\/p>\n<p>Slaton, a fifth-round pick in 2021, finished the season with 15 tackles and 1 sack. He had three tackles and one TFL on Sunday. Van Ness, a 2023 first-round pick, didn&#8217;t kick on in 2024 the way Green Bay hoped for.
