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.

The Jets waived Cowart (ankle) from injured reserve Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Cowart opened the regular season on injured reserve due to an ankle injury that he sustained in early August during training camp. He was competing for a starting spot on the Jets' defensive line, but the 2019 fifth-rounder has been let go by the team before having the opportunity to return to practice. It's unclear where Cowart is in his recovery from his injury, but once fully healthy, he would be in position to join a team in need of interior depth on the defensive line.

The Falcons worked out Prather (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Prather was selected in the seventh round of this year's NFL Draft by the Bills but battled a hamstring injury for most of training camp and the preseason, and was eventually cut ahead of Week 1. Now healthy, Prather will try to find work elsewhere.

Joseph has been sidelined since Week 6 due to a knee injury, but the fourth-year safety intends to return in 2025 and seek treatment for his injury during the offseason, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Joseph has not been placed on the Lions' injured reserve despite the prolonged absence. He returned to practice as a limited participant Monday -- his first action since the injury -- but did not participate in Tuesday's session. Joseph faces an uphill battle to be cleared to play against the Cowboys on Thursday, but with more practices under his belt, he could be available for the Lions' Week 15 road tilt against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 14.
