Injury-Plagued Randall Struggled to Replicate Impact 

It's been a frustrating second season in the NFL for Randall, who has had difficulties staying on the field due to injury issues. 

After playing in 15 games with three interceptions and 14 passes defended in 2015, he was expected to take on an even larger role after Sam Shields went on season-ending injured reserve after suffering a concussion. 

In the first three weeks of the season, he picked off one pass and recorded 11 total tackles as the team's top corner, via the NFL:

But a groin injury held him out of the Packers' Week 5 matchup against the New York Giants. 

He managed to return to the field for Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys, but he reaggravated the injury during the game and didn't come back until Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Without its top two cornerbacks, Green Bay's defense suffered mightily, as the Packers lost four of their five games without Randall. 

Since Randall's return, the Packers closed out the regular season with six straight wins, while the defense was much improved. In Randall's first two games back, Green Bay allowed just 13 points twice to the Eagles and Houston Texans.
