Sweat recorded four tackles (three solo) including 2.0 sacks and a forced fumble during Sunday's 20-17 loss at Tampa Bay.

Sweat's second sack of the afternoon Sunday came at the end of the first quarter, when he slapped down the hands of veteran guard Dan Feeney on his way to Baker Mayfield on third down, forcing a Tampa Bay punt. He's now tied for fourth in the league in sacks (11.0) going into a Week 14 tilt versus the Rams.

Belton logged seven tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Giants' loss versus the Patriots on Monday.

Belton continues to be one of the team's few bright spots on defense, as he's now tallied seven or more tackles in three straight games and eight times total this season. The 2022 fourth-round pick also managed to record his first sack of the campaign during the loss.

Bynum posted six tackles (four solo) and an interception during the Colts' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Bynum picked off an overthrown pass from C.J. Stroud that was intended for Xavier Hutchinson early in the second quarter, which led to a 19-yard touchdown pass from Daniel Jones to Alec Pierce three plays later. It was Bynum's third interception of the season and matches his career high that he set in 2024 as a member of the Vikings. The fifth-year safety has accumulated 54 tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, six pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through 12 regular-season games.

Davis-Gaither recorded 10 tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 20-17 loss at Tampa Bay.

Despite being on the field for a mere 32 defensive snaps, Davis-Gaither posted double digits in the tackle category for the second time this year in Week 13. He's on pace for the first 100-plus tackle season of his career as Arizona heads into a Week 14 matchup versus the Rams, and he profiles as a viable IDP option for that contest in some formats.

Adebo tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) during the Giants' loss versus the Patriots on Monday.

Adebo had been sidelined for the past five games with a sprained MCL and struggled in his return, as Drake Maye completed nine of his 11 pass attempts for 95 yards and a touchdown when targeting him. However, Adebo did manage to rack up double-digit tackles for the second time this season. The 26-year-old will look to have a bounce-back performance Week 15 versus Washington following the team's upcoming bye.

Franklin logged 13 tackles (five solo) during the Colts' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Franklin followed up his 14-tackle performance in Week 12 against the Chiefs with a game-high 13 stops during Sunday's loss. The veteran linebacker has logged double-digit tackles in three consecutive games after failing to do so through the first nine games of the regular season. Through 12 regular-season games, Franklin has accumulated 87 tackles (43 solo), including 2.0 sacks, four pass defenses and one forced fumble.

Barnes compiled 11 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Giants' loss to the Patriots on Monday.

Barnes benefited from increased playing time due to the team's injuries at linebacker and delivered his best outing of the campaign. His 13 tackles not only lead the team but also marked a new season high for the 26-year-old. Barnes also managed to record the first sack of his career.

Epps (undisclosed) was designated for return from injured reserve by the Eagles on Tuesday.

Epps was injured in Week 8 and has logged 15 defensive snaps and another 119 on special teams through eight appearances this season.

The Raiders waived Davis on Tuesday.

The move corresponds with the Raiders signing cornerback Greedy Vance to the 53-man roster. Davis was signed to Las Vegas' active roster Nov. 11 and logged three tackles (one solo) in Week 11 against the Cowboys, but he was a healthy inactive in Weeks 12 and 13. Assuming he clears waivers, Davis will look to catch on with a team seeking depth at linebacker.

The Texans waived Tomlinson on Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Tomlinson started in seven of the Texans' first eight games of the regular season, but he was a healthy inactive for the last two games. Assuming he clears waivers, the 2015 first-rounder will look to catch on with a team in need of depth on the offensive line.
