Wagner tallied 11 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 41-24 win against the Raiders.

Wagner not only paced the Commanders in stops, he also recorded 2.0 sacks, equaling the amount he posted in 17 regular-season contests last year. The veteran linebacker has never recorded more than 6.0 sacks in a season, so he's typically not prolific in terms of bringing down the QB. Wagner has continued to thrive in his age-35 campaign, registering 32 tackles through three weeks.

Chestnut rushed the ball two times for 26 yards in Sunday's 41-20 loss to the Colts.

Chestnut got consecutive carries on the Titans' opening drive of the third quarter, accounting for his only touches in the game. He still operated as the team's backup to Tony Pollard, even with the return of Kalel Mullings. Chestnut looks likely to remain in that role until Tyjae Spears (ankle) is healthy enough to be activated from injured reserve.

Baker logged six tackles (three solo) during the Cardinals' 16-15 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Baker played every single defensive snap for a third consecutive week, and he finished Sunday's game tied with Jalen Thompson for the third-most tackles on the Cardinals behind Mack Wilson (12) and Akeem Davis-Gaither (seven) (elbow). Baker is up to 24 total tackles through the first three games of the 2025 campaign and is on pace to crack 100-plus tackles for the third time in four seasons. Baker and the Cardinals have a short turnaround as they face the Seahawks on Thursday in an NFC West clash.

Wilson finished Sunday's loss to the Vikings with five tackles (two solo).

It was a pretty quiet game for Wilson, who finished with a season-low mark in tackles. The good news is that he led Bengals linebackers with a 70 percent snap share after dealing with an ankle injury early in the week. Wilson has 20 tackles (10 solo) and three defensed passes through three contests this season.

Hampton is set to lead the Chargers backfield in the wake of Najee Harris' season-ending torn Achilles, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Harris suffered the non-contact injury with 5:12 remaining in the first half of Sunday's win against the Broncos, and Hampton ended up getting most of the RB reps the rest of the way, finishing with 19 carries for 70 yards and one touchdown and six catches on seven targets for 59 yards. Hampton's output as a receiver helped him set a new career high in yards from scrimmage, and the TD marked the initial end-zone visit of the rookie first-round pick's career. Behind Hampton, Los Angeles has Hassan Haskins on the active roster and Kimani Vidal and Amar Johnson on the practice squad, meaning the team likely will add to the position group sooner than later. However, this is Hampton's backfield for the foreseeable future.

Landman registered three tackles (one solo) and a fumble recovery during the Rams' 33-26 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Landman jumped on a loose ball that was caused by a Jared Verse sack on Jalen Hurts early in the third quarter, which led to a Kyren Williams 10-yard touchdown catch one play later. Landman has forced or recovered a fumble in each of the first three games of the regular season, and his 21 total tackles is tied with Kamren Kinchens for second most on the Rams behind Kamren Curl (26).

Jenkins registered six tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

Though the Bengals were blown out badly, Jenkins was a bright spot by bringing down Carson Wentz twice. The first was a split sack with Myles Murphy, while Jenkins' second QB takedown was a solo sack. His sack total Sunday put him already to the halfway mark of the 3.0 sacks he posted over 15 regular-season games as a rookie last year.

Harris failed to haul in his lone target during the Chargers' 23-20 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Harris' lone look from Justin Herbert came in the third quarter on a deep pass that fell incomplete. While Harris' production was down from Week 2 against Las Vegas (two catches on three targets for 34 yards), he did see the field for 25 offensive snaps against Denver, and his playing time has increased over the first three games of the regular season. Next up for the Chargers is a Week 4 road bout against the Giants.

Conklin failed to haul in either of his two targets during the Chargers' 23-20 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Conklin was expected to see an uptick in playing time due to the absence of Will Dissly (knee). It was Tucker Fisk who led the tight end room with 29 snaps on offense compared to Conklin and Oronde Gadsden (22 each). However, it was Gadsden who finished with five catches (on seven targets) for 46 yards while Conklin and Fisk went catchless. Conklin's role on the offense appears to be limited to blocking duties, with his two catches for 50 yards all coming in the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Chiefs. Up next for Conklin and the Chargers is a Week 4 road clash against the Giants.

Johnson (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Arizona didn't log an actual practice, but the Cardinals released an estimated report with a quick turnaround for a Week 4 divisional showdown with Seattle. Johnson missed Week 3 with a groin injury, so his lack of participation Monday isn't a great sign for his availability.
