Bethune recorded 10 tackles (four solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Falcons.

Bethune remained the 49ers' most productive linebacker with Fred Warner (IR, ankle) sidelined. He's logged at least an 85 percent defensive snap rate in each of the last two games, racking up 10 tackles in each. Bethune should remain a strong IDP option so long as Warner is sidelined.

Schwesinger registered seven tackles (three solo) during the Browns' 31-6 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Schwesinger's seven tackles were his lowest since Week 2 against the Ravens (five), but he still led the Browns in that category while playing every single snap for a third straight game. The rookie second-rounder leads the Browns with 59 total tackles through seven regular-season games, which is tied with Alex Singleton and Quay Walker for 10th most in the NFL.

Gray recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) during the Titans' 31-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Gray continued his productive 2025 season Sunday by leading the Titans in tackles. He has posted double-digit stops in four consecutive games, and his 70 tackles through seven regular-season games is tied with Jamien Sherwood for third most in the NFL behind Jordyn Brooks (75) and Bobby Wagner (73).

Strnad recorded five total tackles (two solo) and an interception in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.

Strnad played a season-low 54 percent of the team's defensive snaps, but he had a major impact on the game, picking off Jaxson Dart late in the fourth quarter. The linebacker has now compiled 30 total tackles (10 solo), including 3.5 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed, one of which was an interception, over seven games this season.

Chinn finished Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs with 10 tackles (eight solo) and one forced fumble.

Chinn was one of three Raiders defenders to play every single defensive snap and finished third in tackles behind Elandon Roberts (18) and Devin White (16). Chinn has recorded 10 tackles in two of his last three games and is up to 48 stops through seven regular-season games, which puts him on pace to surpass 100 tackles for a second consecutive year.

The 49ers signed Willis to the practice squad Monday.

Willis was waived by the 49ers roster Saturday in order to make room on the roster for fellow tight end George Kittle, who was activated from injured reserve. Willis has opted to stay in San Francisco as a member of the team's practice squad after clearing waivers, and he could be elevated to the active roster should the 49ers require depth at tight end at any point down the road.

White registered 16 tackles (six solo) during the Raiders' 31-0 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

White played all 81 defensive snaps during Sunday's blowout loss. His 16 tackles were the second most in his NFL career (18 tackles in Week 10 of the 2021 season), but the veteran linebacker still finished second in that category behind Elandon Roberts (18). White has registered at least eight tackles in five of the first seven games of the regular season, and his 64 tackles on the year is sixth most in the NFL.

Okereke recorded six total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 33-32 loss to the Broncos.

Okereke was once again on the field for every defensive snap in Week 7, playing 76 total while finishing tied for third on the team in stops with fellow linebacker Darius Muasau. Okereke has now registered 60 total tackles (29 solo) and two passes defensed over seven games this season.

Belton recorded 10 total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 33-32 loss to the Broncos.

Belton entered the weekend having been limited by a neck injury during the week, but he showed no signs of it against Denver. The safety led the team in takedowns, notching double-digit stops for the first time this year. Belton has now compiled 36 total tackles (17 solo), two passes defensed and a forced fumble over seven games this season.

Roberts finished Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs with 18 tackles (seven solo), including one stop for a loss.

Roberts was on the field for 75 of 81 defensive snaps (92.6 percent) and joined three other Raiders defenders in registering double-digit stops. His 18 tackles were the most of his 10-year NFL career and just the sixth time he has logged double-digit tackles in a game. Roberts is up to 40 stops through seven regular-season games, and he should surpass his total from the 2024 campaign (46 tackles across 17 regular-season games) as a member of the Steelers.
