Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Piles up 18 tackles Monday
Brooks recorded 18 tackles (15 solo) during Monday's 27-21 win versus the Jets.

He now has 44 tackles (28 solo) through the first four games of the campaign, putting him on a pace to eclipse the 184 total tackles he tallied that same year.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Picks off Jones twice in Week 4 win
Curl logged nine tackles (three solo) and three pass defenses (including two interceptions) during the Rams' 27-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Curl grabbed his first interception of the season early in the first quarter, when he jumped in front of a deep pass from Daniel Jones that was intended for Adonai Mitchell, and that turnover led to the Rams' first points of the game on a Joshua Karty 42-yard field goal 11 plays later. Curl came up big again late, when he snuck in front of a Jones pass to Michael Pittman within the final minute of the fourth quarter to seal the game for the Rams. Curl played every single defensive snap for the third time this season, and his nine tackles was tied with Quentin Lake for the most on the Rams. Curl is up to 35 total tackles through four games and is well on pace to surpass his total from the 2024 regular season (79 across 16 games).

Leroy Watson: Joins Vegas' practice squad
The Raiders signed Watson to their practice squad Tuesday.
Watson started four games at right tackle for Tennessee in 2024 and later spent time with Minnesota's practice squad, and now he's getting another chance to make an impression in Las Vegas. The Raiders placed regular starting left tackle Kolton Miller (ankle) on their injured reserve list Tuesday, so it makes some sense that they're looking to add some organizational depth up front.

Raiders' Kolton Miller: Officially lands on IR
Las Vegas placed Miller (ankle) on its injured reserve list Tuesday.
Miller was carted off the field after suffering a hairline fracture and a high ankle sprain late in Week 4 versus the Bears, and now he'll have to sit out at least the Raiders' next four games as he recovers. Per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com, coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Stone Forsythe will take over as the starting left tackle in Miller's absence.
