James recorded eight tackles (four solo) and 0.5 sacks in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.

James has played every defensive snap this season and has at least seven combined tackles in every contest. He also continues to be used aggressively as a pass rusher, already recording 1.5 sacks through four contests.

Franklin registered seven tackles (one solo) and one pass defense during the Colts' 27-20 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Franklin played every single defensive snap for the second time in four games, and he finished tied with Camryn Bynum for third-most tackles on the Colts behind Nick Cross (14) and DeForest Buckner (eight). Franklin is up to 22 total tackles through four games and is on track to record a fourth consecutive 100-tackle season, though he's well behind pace to match his total from 2024 (173).

Henley recorded nine tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.

Henley has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in every game and delivered his highest solo tackle total of the season in Week 4. He has at least eight combined stops in three of four contests and is one of the top linebacker options, given the injuries and underperformance at the position early in the campaign.

Baun registered eight tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble during the Eagles' 31-25 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Baun was overcame a knee injury to play in Sunday's NFC tilt. The injury didn't appear to bother him, as he played every single defensive snap for a fourth straight game and finished second on the Eagles in tackles behind Cooper DeJean (nine). Baun also notched his first sack of the season, with his takedown of Baker Mayfield late in the first quarter resulting in a 12-yard loss and a Chase McLaughlin 42-yard field goal one play later. Baun has logged at least six tackles in each of the first four games of the season and has 30 tackles (19 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass defenses (one interception) and one forced fumble to start the 2025 campaign.

Bishop had five total tackles and his first NFL interception in Sunday's 31-19 win over the Saints.

Bishop snuffed out a Philly Special gadget play and made one of the prettier short-range interceptions you'll see this year. While the second-year player out of Utah still has some holes in his game, he's become a full-time starter and has played every single defensive snap in all four games so far. He has 19 tackles and the interception on the season, yielding modest value in deep IDP leagues, as a lot of teams may be passing the ball this season in catch-up situations against one of the NFL's better teams.

The Titans cut Blackshear from their practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Tennessee signed Blackshear to a practice-squad deal Sept. 23, but the former Carolina Panther wasn't given much time to make an impression. The Titans instead opted to take a look at fellow running back Blake Watson, who was signed to the practice squad in a move corresponding with Blackshear's departure.

Lloyd finished Sunday's 26-21 win over the 49ers with eight tackles (six solo) and two interceptions.

Lloyd played 62 of 66 defensive snaps and finished second on the Jaguars in tackling behind Tyson Campbell (nine). Lloyd was responsible for two of Jacksonville's four turnovers, with his two interceptions off Brock Purdy in the second and fourth quarters being converted into 10 points by the Jaguars' offense. Lloyd is already up to three interceptions through four games, which matches his total from his rookie season in 2022. He's also logged 23 tackles (12 solo) and one fumble recovery to start the season.

The Jaguars cut Henigan from their practice squad Monday.

Henigan signed with the team's practice squad in late August after failing to make Jacksonville's initial 53-man roster. The undrafted rookie quarterback will now hit the open market, looking for another opportunity elsewhere.

Oluokun logged seven tackles (two solo), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery during the Jaguars' 26-21 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

Oluokun didn't play every single defensive snap for the first time this season, but he still managed to finish third on the Jaguars in tackles behind Tyson Campbell (nine) and Devin Lloyd (eight). Oluokun played a part on the Jaguars' fourth turnover of the game, when he jumped on a ball that was jarred loose by Lloyd from Brock Purdy late in the fourth quarter, and the Jacksonville offense took care of the rest to seal the game. Oluokun has logged at least six tackles in each of the first four games of the regular season, and his 30 total tackles lead the Jaguars.

Kinchens (shoulder) was deemed a limited participant in Monday's practice estimate.

Los Angeles didn't actually hold a practice Monday, so Kinchens' designation of limited is an estimation. The second-year safety was also limited at the Rams' first practice last week but moved up to a full session one day later and logged close to his usual workload Sunday versus Indianapolis. With that in mind, it's likely that Kinchens is in line to play Thursday versus San Francisco as long as he didn't aggravate the shoulder issue.
