Coyle, an undrafted free agent who made the team out of training camp, will start Sunday at middle linebacker in place of the injured Bobby Wagner, the Associated Press reports.

Coyle impressed in training camp but has played mostly special teams thus far. Last week, OLB K.J. Wright moved inside in place of Wagner, but his replacement, Malcolm Smith, suffered a groin injury. So Wright will go back outside and Coyle will make his first career start. Coyle won't be as polished as Wagner, but he should be in position to rack up tackles.
