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.

Baker recorded eight total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Packers.

Baker remained productive in Week 7, finishing tied for the team lead in stops with linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither. The safety is as steady as it gets, registering at least five tackles in all seven games this season. Baker has now compiled 49 total tackles (23 solo) and two passes defensed this year.

Franklin finished Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers with five tackles (two solo) and one pass defense.

Franklin played every single defensive snap for a second consecutive game, and the veteran linebacker has tallied at least five tackles in six consecutive contests. He is up to 42 total tackles through seven regular-season games, which puts him on pace to reach 100-plus tackles for a fourth consecutive season, though he is unlikely to match his total from the 2024 season (173 tackles across 17 regular-season games).

Davis-Gaither compiled eight total tackles (four solo), a pass defensed and a forced fumble in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Packers.

Davis-Gaither finished tied for the team lead in takedowns with safety Budda Baker, securing at least eight stops for the fourth time in the last five games. The linebacker was also able to strip quarterback Jordan Love in the third quarter, but Arizona's recovery was nullified by a penalty in the secondary. Davis-Gaither has now produced 52 total tackles (25 solo), three passes defensed and a forced fumble over seven games this season.

Bolton recorded two tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders.

Bolton played 95 percent of defensive snaps, but he still had limited opportunity because the Raiders ran only 30 offensive plays. While it was a disappointing performance, he had recorded at least six tackles in all of his games prior to Sunday. Bolton should be in for a bounce-back performance in Week 8 against the Commanders.

Cross logged six solo tackles and an interception during the Colts' 38-24 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Cross stopped a Chargers' red-zone possession in its tracks late in the second quarter after picking off a Justin Herbert pass intended for Quentin Johnston, and Daniel Jones capitalized on the turnover by leading the Colts' offense on a nine-play drive that resulted in a 36-yard field goal from Michael Badgley. It was Cross's first interception of the 2025 regular season and the fifth of his four-year NFL career. The 2022 third-rounder is up to 53 tackles (33 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and three pass defenses through the first seven games of the regular season.

Davis recorded 10 total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Bears.

Davis was once again the team's leader in tackles, finishing with at least 10 stops for the fourth time this season. The linebacker has now registered 61 total tackles (33 solo), a pass defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over seven games this year.

Sherwood registered 10 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense during Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.

Sherwood led the Jets in tackles Sunday, and he recorded his first sack of the season early in the fourth quarter, when he took down Andy Dalton for a nine-yard loss that forced the Panthers to punt on the next play. Sherwood has played every single defensive snap through the first seven games of the regular season, and his 70 combined tackles is third most in the NFL behind Jordyn Brooks (75) and Bobby Wagner (73).
