Season so far
Malik Muhammad has appeared in only one game during the 2026 season, earning a 65.8 overall grade across 33 snaps in Week 2. Because his body of work is limited to a single contest, it is still too early to establish a definitive baseline or trend. His overall grade sits slightly above replacement level, heavily bolstered by a well-timed slot blitz that generated a third-down sack. In coverage, where he logged 25 snaps, his play was mixed as he surrendered a 16-yard conversion in trail man coverage to Justin Jefferson. However, he balanced that misstep with a forced incompletion, reliable perimeter run defense, and an open-field tackle to restrict yards after the catch.
