Bills' Taron Johnson: Leads team with eight stops Week 3
Johnson posted eight tackles (six solo) and a defensed pass in Thursday's 31-21 win against the Dolphins.
Johnson was quite active when he was on the field, as he paced the Bills in tackles despite playing just 66 percent of the team's defensive snaps. He wasn't able to suit up in Week 2 against the Jets due to a quad injury, but he appears to be mostly past the issue given he was able to play a considerable amount on a short week.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Nine tackles against New Orleans
Okada recorded nine tackles (seven solo) in the Seahawks' win over the Saints on Sunday.
With Julian Love (hamstring) and Nick Emmanwori (ankle) missing Week 3 against New Orleans, Okada made the start at safety and played all 73 defensive snaps after playing a combined 15 defensive snaps across Weeks 1 and 2. Okada will likely revert to his special-teams role once Love and Emmanwori return to health.

Chargers' Derwin James: All over field in Week 3 win
James logged 12 tackles (10 solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Chargers' 23-20 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
No other Chargers defender had more than four tackles in Sunday's win, and James was tied with Alex Singleton for the most tackles in the game. Four of James' 12 tackles went for a loss, including a six-yard sack on Bo Nix midway through the second quarter, which led to a Broncos punt three plays later. James is up to 26 total tackles through three regular-season games, which is tied with Kamren Curl and Tre'von Moehrig for second most among safeties behind Talanoa Hufanga (27). Up next for James and the Chargers is a Week 4 road clash against the Giants on Sunday.

White totaled five tackles (four solo) and a defensed pass in a 31-21 win over Miami on Thursday.
One of White's tackles went for a loss, as he took down Jaylen Waddle for a loss of three yards on a passing play in the third quarter. White was on the field for every one of the Bills' defensive snaps in the victory after missing Week 1 due to a groin injury and logging just 55 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 2.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Full listing on practice estimate
Charbonnet (foot) was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Charbonnet didn't practice last week due to a foot injury that left him listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Saints. He predictably was included among the Seahawks' inactives for Week 3, but his estimated activity level Monday indicates that he's on pace to return to action Thursday at Arizona. If he returns to action, he'll likely resume his timeshare with Kenneth Walker out of Seattle's backfield.

Cole Bishop SAF | BUF
Bills' Cole Bishop: Logs five stops in Week 3 win
Bishop tallied five tackles (four solo) in Thursday's 31-21 victory over Miami.
Bishop has been quite consistent statistically to begin the campaign, logging four tackles in Week 1 and five apiece in Weeks 2 and 3. He's played every one of Buffalo's defensive snaps so far this season after doing so just twice over 16 regular-season contests last year.

CJ West DT | SF
49ers' CJ West: Requires surgery on thumb
Head coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Monday that West will need to undergo surgery to repair a broken thumb, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Despite the necessity of a procedure, Shanahan noted that West could play through the injury with a cast on his broken thumb, which means he has not been ruled out for the 49ers' Week 4 clash against the Jaguars this Sunday, per Branch. West logged two tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 16-15 win over the Cardinals.

J.J. McCarthy QB | NYG
Vikings' J.J. McCarthy: Won't play in Week 4
Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that McCarthy (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Beyond McCarthy's lack of availability Week 4, O'Connell also noted, "First and foremost, he's got to get healthy. And then, I don't think it's one of those things where it's, hey, he's healthy the night before a game, we're going to throw him out there and say, 'Hey, go figure it out' type of thing." McCarthy emerged from a Week 2 loss to the Falcons with a high right ankle sprain and sat out this past Sunday's win against the Bengals, which allowed Carson Wentz to lead the Vikings offense. Overall, Wentz didn't commit a turnover and compiled 173 yards and two touchdowns on 14-for-20 passing. Wentz will continue operating as the starter for as long as McCarthy is sidelined and potentially even when he's healthy, per O'Connell.
