Vaki gets backup role but shows inconsistency in pass protection despite some positive carries.

Vaki received his first significant offensive action since entering the league in 2024, earning the backup job with three touches (two rushes for 7 yards, one catch for 10); coach Dan Campbell noted inconsistency, particularly in pass protection where Vaki got in Penei Sewell's way leading to a pressure and quarterback hit, though Campbell acknowledged some positive carries and checkdown work.
