Jones tallied two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Tennessee's loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Jones was one of the Titans' few bright spots during the blowout loss, as he recorded one of the team's two sacks. The 28-year-old has now registered a sack in three consecutive games and will look to keep the streak going during the Week 9 matchup versus the Chargers.

Barton logged three tackles (two solo) during the Titans' loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Barton played every defensive snap for Tennessee in the loss, a feat he has accomplished in all eight games to start the season. The 28-year-old has recorded 45 tackles (25 solo) so far this campaign and will look to add to his totals in the Week 9 matchup against the Chargers.

Sweat tallied two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Tennessee's loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Sweat has now recorded a sack in back-to-back games since returning from the ankle injury he suffered in the Week 1 loss versus the Broncos. The 24-year-old will look to build on this strong performance and keep producing in the Week 9 matchup versus the Chargers.

Bertrand logged nine tackles (three solo) in Atlanta's loss versus the Dolphins on Sunday.

Bertrand finished second on the team in tackles behind Kaden Elliss' 12. The 25-year-old has taken advantage of increased playing time over the past two weeks with Divine Deablo sidelined by a forearm injury, and has racked up 19 tackles (seven solo) over that span. Bertrand will look to keep producing in the Week 9 matchup against the Patriots.

Alford tallied five solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the Falcons' loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Alford was one of Atlanta's few bright spots during the loss, recording the team's lone sack of Tua Tagovailoa. Across seven games played, the 27-year-old has logged 24 tackles (19 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and an interception. He will look to add to his totals during the Week 9 matchup versus the Patriots.

Watts recorded four tackles (two solo) in Atlanta's loss versus the Dolphins on Sunday.

Watts had a solid outing, while playing every defensive snap for the Falcons during the blowout loss. The 23-year-old has gotten off to a strong start during his rookie season, racking up 41 tackles (25 solo) and two interceptions across his first seven games.

Burford (knee) was a full participant in San Francisco's practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Burford has been sidelined since suffering a knee injury in the Week 2 win over the Saints but is now closer to making his return. The 25-year-old was designated to return from injured reserve on Oct. 22, and he should have a chance to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Giants.

Brendel (hamstring) didn't participate in San Francisco's practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Brendel remains sidelined with the knee injury he suffered in the team's Week 7 win over the Falcons. Matt Hennessy will start at center for the second straight week if Brendel is unable to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

Murray recorded seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos.

Murray tied for the team lead in tackles, even in the blowout loss. He has been remarkably consistent this season, logging at least seven tackles in six of eight contests. Murray will remain a key part of Dallas' defense so long as he's healthy.

James recorded four tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos.

James had broken out in each of Dallas' previous three games, logging a combined 35 tackles. While his production took a downturn in Sunday's blowout loss, he still logged a 95 percent defensive snap rate. Expect James to bounce back in Week 9 against Arizona.
