Queen recorded 12 tackles (two solo) during Pittsburgh's loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Queen was one of the team's few bright spots in the loss, as his 12 tackles not only led the team but served as a new season-high total for the 26-year-old. He has now racked up 68 tackles (27 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across nine games and will look to keep producing Week 11 versus the Bengals.

Landman logged 11 tackles (five solo) and a forced fumble during the Rams' 42-26 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

Landman has recorded double-digit tackles four times this season, and he is up to 83 tackles (38 solo), including 1.5 sacks, four pass defenses, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries through nine regular-season games.

James recorded three total tackles in Sunday night's 25-10 win over the Steelers.

The 29-year-old has seen his production dip as the season has gone on, averaging 4.3 tackles per game after compiling 34 takedowns over the team's first four contests of the year. James has now registered 60 total tackles (33 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also adding three passes defensed, one of which is an interception, over 10 games this season.

McDonald (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant in the Jets' practice estimate Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

McDonald popped up on the injury report Monday after having a dominant performance in the Week 10 win over the Browns, during which he recorded five total tackles (four solo), including 4.0 sacks. If this injury ends up being serious enough to hold the 26-year-old out of Thursday's matchup versus the Patriots, Micheal Clemons would likely get the start at defensive end in his place.
