Defensive coordinator Zach Orr said this week that Wiggins will continue to get more playing time as he grows into the defense.
“Nate’s going to be fine,” Orr said, via the team’s official website. “Nate’s going to play a lot of football for us. He’s going to play a lot of great football for us. I think [he’s going to] just continue to come in and continue to work. And he played well in the [Kansas City] game as well. The better he plays, the more he’s going to be out there.”
