Bunkley was the 14th overall pick in the first round of the 2006 draft. He had nine tackles this season.

In other injury news, quarterback Michael Vick (ribs), left tackle Jason Peters (knee), cornerback Asante Samuel (concussion) and wide receiver Riley Cooper (concussion) are uncertain for the upcoming game against Atlanta.
