Nubin registered nine tackles (six solo) during the Giants' 34-17 win over the Eagles on Thursday.

Nubin's nine tackles marked a season high, and the 2024 second-rounder led all Giants defenders during Thursday's win. The second-year safety has tallied at least five tackles in five of the first six games of the regular season and is up to 34 stops (24 solo) this year.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said after Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London that Wilson sustained a hip injury during the contest, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. Wilson finished the day with three catches for 13 yards on eight targets.

Wilson didn't miss extensive time at any point in the contest, though Connor Hughes of SNY.tv noted that the receiver looked to be banged up following an incomplete pass on second down on the Jets' penultimate possession. Wilson stayed on the sideline for a third-and-10 play, but he was back on the field for the team's final drive of the day. Per Al Iannazzone of Newsday, Wilson said after the game that he underwent an X-ray, and he could undergo an MRI once the Jets return stateside to begin prep for a Week 7 matchup with the Panthers. Even if Wilson's hip issue doesn't limit him in practice during the upcoming week, Sunday's loss to Denver demonstrated that the wideout's weekly fantasy outlook can be volatile while he's tethered to a poor Jets passing attack. Quarterback Justin Fields dropped back just 26 times Week 6, taking nine sacks and completing only nine of 17 passes for 45 yards.

Folk made all three of his field-goal tries during the Jets' 13-11 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

The Jets offense struggled to move the ball down the field Sunday, but Folk helped New York keep pace with field goals from 52, 41 and 38 yards. His three made field goals were his most in a game in 2025, and the veteran kicker has converted on all 12 of his field-goal attempts and all seven of his extra-point tries through the first six games of the regular season.

Lutz went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Lutz put the Broncos on the board with a 57-yard field goal in the first quarter, and he connected on a 27-yard chip shot late in the fourth quarter to put Denver up for good. Lutz has not missed a kick since Week 2 against the Colts and is now 7-for-8 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-14 on extra-point tries through the first six games of the regular season.

Dugger is slated to start at safety against the Saints on Sunday due to the absence of Jaylinn Hawkins (hamstring), Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Dugger played just one defensive snap and seven snaps on special teams during the Patriots' Week 5 win over the Bills. However, the 2020 second-rounder appears to be in line to work with the Patriots' starting defense in the absence of Hawkins. Dugger has 12 tackles (five solo) through five regular-season games this year.

Reeder is slated to start at inside linebacker against the Ravens on Sunday due to the absence of Omar Speights (ankle), Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Speights was unable to practice all week due to a high ankle sprain that he sustained during the Rams' Week 5 loss to the 49ers. Reeder has mostly served on special teams this season but is in line to start for the first time this season at inside linebacker alongside Nate Landman.

Ward has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a concussion.

Ward sustained the concussion during pregame warmups, per James Boyd of The Athletic. It's the second time Ward has been placed in the league's concussion protocol this season, and he'll need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play in Week 7 against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 19. Mekhi Blackmon will likely draw the start at outside corner opposite Johnathan Edwards in Ward's absence.

Simon (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.

Simon was a limited participant in practice all week following a knee injury sustained in the Week 5 loss to the Titans. The rookie fourth-rounder has been predominantly a special teams player, logging 63 special teams snaps to only three defensive ones. His return also bolsters the linebacker depth of a banged-up corps, with starter Mack Wilson (hamstring) active despite logging limited practice all week.

There was no "private meeting" between Brown, Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley as initially reported elsewhere, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday. Instead, Brown saw Hurts and Barkley talking in the parking lot and walked over to join them.

This comes with the territory for a big market team that's the defending Super Bowl champs, but the drama surrounding the Eagles' key offensive players has been exhausting. However, it's prudent to remember how the Eagles' offense was also off-kilter at this point in the season last year, too.

Melton (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.

After being a limited participant in practice all week, Melton is active for Sunday's game against the Colts. Melton has logged 216 defensive snaps for the team this season, recording 14 total tackles and three passes defended, but was sorely missed in the Week 5 loss to the Titans. With Will Johnson (groin) also active, Arizona will be the healthiest they've been in the secondary in some time.
