DeJean tallied five tackles (four solo) and one pass defense during the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

DeJean was one of five Eagles players to play all 74 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss. The 2024 second-rounder has played every defensive snap and logged at least five tackles in each of the first five games of the regular season.

Oluokun recorded 14 tackles (seven solo) in the Jaguars' win over the Chiefs on Monday night.

Oluokun's 14 tackles marked a new season-high for the veteran linebacker, who has posted five straight 100-tackle seasons. He appears well on his way to a sixth, as Oluokun is up to 44 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass breakups, including one interception, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery on 97 percent of the defensive snaps through five games.

Perine carried four times for 27 yards and gained two yards on two receptions in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.

More importantly, Perine played 29 offensive snaps, good for 47 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps. With top running back Chase Brown off to a slow start to the season, Perine might continue to cut into his snap share, especially when the Bengals are playing from behind.

Bolton recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) and one pass breakup in the Chiefs' loss to the Jaguars on Monday night.

Bolton's 12 tackles easily paced the team, and it was his second game this season recording at least a dozen tackles. Through five games, Bolton has racked up 46 tackles (25 solo), including three TFLs, two pass breakups and one QB hit on 99 percent of the Chiefs' defensive snaps.

Jones recorded seven tackles (five solo) and two pass breakups, including one interception, in the Patriots' win over the Bills on Sunday night.
