Key was off to a disruptive start to the season. Through three games, he had logged 10 quarterback pressures, which was good for the second-most on the team and tied for 20th league-wide among
defensive ends. Key also forced a fumble.
In addition to not having Keys, Micheal Clemons is currently on IR as well, testing the depth of this defensive end unit.
Larger roles for rookies Caden Curry and George Gumbs could be incoming, while Jaylahn Tuimoloau likely steps into a starting role.
