Kamren Curl SAF | LAR
Rams' Kamren Curl: Leading tackler in win
Curl recorded 10 total tackles (eight solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.
Curl led the Rams' defense in total tackles for the fourth time this season during Sunday's blowout win. The 26-year-old safety is having an incredible start to his second season with the Rams, recording 57 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and four passes defended, with two interceptions, over the team's first seven games. He's expected to remain one of Los Angeles' top defensive playmakers following the Week 8 bye.

David Njoku TE | LAC
Browns' David Njoku: Still day-to-day
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Njoku (knee) remains day-to-day, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Njoku missed three straight practices before being ruled out for Cleveland's eventual win over the Dolphins in Week 7. He'll almost certainly need to retake the field as at least a limited participant before returning to the lineup, meaning Njoku's status at practice will have to be monitored ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Patriots. Rookie Harold Fannin will continue benefiting from an increased workload until Njoku returns to action.

Nate Landman LB | LAR
Rams' Nate Landman: Sacks Lawrence in Week 7
Landman recorded nine total tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.
The Colorado product was one of six Rams to get to the quarterback during Sunday's blowout win, taking down Trevor Lawrence early in the second quarter. Landman has now tallied 67 total tackles (fifth most in the NFL), including 1.5 sacks, four passes defended and one forced fumble over the Rams' first seven games this season. He's expected to remain one of the league's top inside linebackers and a solid IDP option following Los Angeles' Week 8 bye.

DeMarvion Overshown LB | DAL
Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Practice window opening soon
Overshown (knee) is expected to return to Cowboys' practice later this week, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
The third-year pro from Texas remains on the reserve/PUP list as he continues to work his way back from a torn ACL, MCL and PCL sustained last season. However, his 21-day practice window is expected to be opened later this week, with hopes that he can return for Dallas' Week 11 matchup against the Raiders. Once Overshown returns to full health, he's likely to operate as one of the Cowboys' starting inside linebackers.

Kendre Miller RB | NO
Saints' Kendre Miller: Believed to have torn ACL
Miller is believed to have suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Bears, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
It's yet another injury for the 23-year-old running back, who missed 20 of 34 regular-season contests across his first two seasons before playing in all seven to open the 2025 campaign. However, Miller now appears set to miss the final 10 contests of this season after producing a 47-193-1 rushing line as Alvin Kamara's backup. With Miller looking done for the remainder of the season, Devin Neal projects to slide into the RB2 role for New Orleans.

Erik McCoy C | NO
Saints' Erik McCoy: Likely done for the season
McCoy is believed to have sustained a torn biceps in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Bears and will likely miss the remainder of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The veteran center exited New Orleans' Week 7 loss in the fourth quarter, and the injury now appears serious enough to sideline him for the remainder of the year. This is a huge blow to the Saints' offensive line, as McCoy was selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his last two seasons. In his stead, Luke Fortner is expected to step in and start at center.

Edgerrin Cooper LB | GB
Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Logs five stops vs. Arizona
Cooper tallied five total tackles (three solo) and one pass defended in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Cardinals.
Although Cooper's five tackles fell below his usual standards, he broke up a pass intended for Trey McBride that kept the Cardinals out of the end zone early in the second quarter. The second-year linebacker from Texas A&M has now recorded 49 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and three passes defended over the Packers' first six games this season. He's expected to continue starting alongside Quay Walker to form one of the league's best inside-linebacker tandems during the Week 8 matchup against the Steelers.

Quay Walker LB | LV
Packers' Quay Walker: Leading tackler in win
Walker recorded nine total tackles (five solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Cardinals.
The Georgia product has led Green Bay's defense in total tackles in three of his last four games, tallying 42 stops during that span. He was one of four Packers to get after the quarterback in Sunday's win, sacking Jacoby Brissett in the second quarter. Walker has now logged 59 total tackles through Green Bay's first six games this season, tying him for the 10th most in the NFL. He's expected to remain a viable IDP option in Week 8 when the Packers travel to Pittsburgh.

DaRon Bland CB | DAL
Cowboys' DaRon Bland: Gets back into end zone Sunday
Bland recorded seven tackles (five solo) and returned an interception 68 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Commanders.
With the Cowboys already ahead 34-15 in the third quarter and Jayden Daniels (hamstring) out of the game, Bland stepped in front of a desperation toss into the flat by Marcus Mariota and took it to the house. It was the 15th career INT and the sixth career pick-six for Bland after his NFL-record five in 2023, and the surest sign yet that the fourth-year cornerback is fully healthy after batting a foot injury last season and a shoulder issue to begin 2025.

Nic Scourton LB | CAR
Panthers' Nic Scourton: Breaks out vs. Jets
Scourton tallied two total tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.
With Patrick Jones (back) expected to miss the remainder of the season, Scourton drew a start and played a larger role on the Panthers' defense in Week 7. The 2025 second-round pick from Texas A&M made a huge impact rushing the passer, tallying six pressures and 1.5 sacks. He's now recorded 11 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and one pass defended across his first seven NFL games. Following Sunday's performance, Scourton is expected to remain an integral part of the Panthers' pass rush as the season progresses.
