Simpson recorded nine total tackles (two solo) and an interception during Sunday's 24-18 win over Tennessee.

Simpson led the team in takedowns, but his biggest moment of the game came in the first quarter when he intercepted a pass from quarterback Cam Ward. The interception was the first of his four-year career, and it marked his second turnover of the year after he recovered a fumble in Week 3 against Dallas. Simpson has now registered 26 total tackles (15 solo), an interception and a fumble recovery over four contests in 2026.

Warner recorded seven tackles (three solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 24-14 win versus the Broncos.

Warner took a step back in the tackle department compared to his 17-tackle performance versus the Cardinals in Week 3, but he continued to look sharp in coverage in Week 4. He profiles as an elite IDP option in most formats going into a Week 5 tilt at Seattle.

Smith recorded six tackles (four solo) and a forced fumble during the Buccaneers' 17-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Smith was responsible for one of the Buccaneers' two takeaways in the fourth quarter, with the third-year safety dislodging the ball from the arms of running back Kaleb Johnson near the goal line, which Zyon McCollum recovered. Smith has played nearly every single defensive snap through the first four games of the regular season, logging 20 tackles (14 solo), one pass defense and one forced fumble in that span.

Greenlaw recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) and forced a fumble during Sunday's 24-14 win versus the Broncos.

Greenlaw looked like he was out for revenge against the team that cut him back in March, managing his best tackle total since the 2023 season. He's worth IDP consideration in most formats going into a Week 5 matchup against a run-oriented Seahawks offense.

Parrish logged five solo tackles and two pass defenses (including an interception) during the Buccaneers' 17-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Parrish jumped in front of a Jordan Love pass intended for Matthew Golden late in the fourth quarter, but the Buccaneers offense was unable to capitalize on the takeaway to tie or take the lead. It was the first interception of the season for Parrish, with the second-year pro logging two interceptions during his rookie campaign. He's up to 12 tackles (11 solo) and three pass defenses through three regular-season games in 2026.

Downs recorded seven total tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 34-30 win over Houston.

Downs was able to notch at least seven takedowns for the third time in four contests to begin his NFL career. The safety has been on the field for every defensive snap over the last three weeks, and he is now up to 27 total tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed and two forced fumble this year.

The Jaguars placed Ransaw (knee) on their injured reserve list Tuesday.

Ransaw suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game at Cincinnati, and now he'll have to sit out at least the next four games as he recovers. In parallel transactions, Jacksonville waived cornerback Christian Braswell (knee) with an injury designation and signed cornerbacks Jaylon Jones and Alijah Huzzie.

Chappell (undisclosed) was waived from injured reserve by the Vikings on Tuesday.

Chappell has spent the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR with Minnesota, but he will now hit the open market. The cornerback will be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll have the chance to pass a physical and play elsewhere this year.

The Jaguars waived Braswell (knee) with an injury designation Tuesday.

Braswell missed his first game of the season due to a knee injury in Week 4, and now he'll probably revert to Jacksonville's injured reserve list unless he's claimed by another team during the current waiver period. In corresponding moves, the Jaguars placed safety Caleb Ransaw (knee) on their injured reserve list and signed cornerbacks Jaylon Jones and Alijah Huzzie.

Jackson (knee) was placed on injured reserve by the Vikings on Tuesday.

Jackson suffered a torn meniscus during Sunday's 15-10 win over Miami, and he was already set to miss the rest of the regular season, so Tuesday's move to the IR comes as no surprise. Joe Huber is the top candidate to take over as Minnesota's starting left guard in Jackson's absence.
