Rozeboom registered eight tackles (seven solo) Sunday in a loss to the Jaguars.

Rozeboom's eight stops were good for second on Carolina. That output was in line with his production last season, when he averaged 7.9 tackles over 17 regular-season games with the Rams. Rozeboom finished last year with a career-best 135 stops, then signed a one-year deal with the Panthers in mid-March.

Gray recorded eight tackles (five solo) in the Titans' loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Gray started alongside Cody Barton in the middle of the Tennessee defense and finished one tackle behind Barton for the team lead. While Barton played all 76 defensive snaps, Gray was in on 62 and played another 11 on special teams. Gray appears to have a firm hold on the job over James Williams, who was limited to just 25 special-teams snaps.

Jordan tallied three tackles, including 1.5 sacks, along with a defensed pass Sunday in a Week 1 loss to the Cardinals.

Jordan was able to get to the quarterback twice in the defeat, first logging a solo sack of Kyler Murray on the third snap of the game and later logging a split sack in the third period. Jordan posted a modest 4.0 sacks over 17 contests last year, but he's tallied as many as 15.5 sacks in a campaign (in 2019).

Brownlee recorded nine tackles (six solo) in the Titans' loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Brownlee started at outside cornerback opposite L'Jarius Sneed and played 75 of 76 defensive snaps, tying Cody Barton for the team lead in tackles. Brownlee held his own in coverage and played strong run defense, and figures to hold down one of the starting cornerback spots this season after Tennessee did little to address the positional needs in the offseason.

McKinstry posted seven tackles (five solo) and a defensed pass in a loss to Arizona on Sunday.

McKinstry finished tied for third on Arizona with his seven stops, one of which went for a loss. The second-year cornerback broke up six passes as a rookie last season while recording 42 tackles over 15 games. He moved into a starting role late in the second half of the campaign and has held onto that status to begin the 2025 season, as he played all 66 of New Orleans' defensive snaps Sunday.

Thornhill recorded eight tackles (four solo) and one fumble recovery in the Steelers' win over the Jets on Sunday.

While Thornhill didn't start the game, he did play 84 percent of the defensive snaps. With DeShon Elliott suffering a knee injury that already has him ruled out for Week 2 against Seattle, both Thornhill and Chuck Clark should see elevated playing time on the back end of Pittsburgh's defense.

Clark recorded eight tackles (six solo) in the Steelers' win over the Jets on Sunday.

One of Clark's tackles went for a loss, as he wrapped up Justin Fields behind the line of scrimmage on a third-and-three designed run in the fourth quarter to force a punt. Clark played just 50 percent of the defensive snaps but figures to have an every-down role in Week 2 after DeShon Elliott suffered a knee injury against New York. Elliott has already been ruled out for Pittsburgh's upcoming date with the Seahawks.

Koonce recorded three tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and forced a fumble Sunday in a 20-13 victory versus the Patriots.

Koonce came up with a big sack in the fourth quarter, bringing down Drake Maye for an eight-yard loss. Maye fumbled on the play, but New England was able to recover. Koonce is off to a good start after tallying a career-best 8.0 sacks over 17 contests last year.

Bush recorded seven tackles (four solo) in the Browns' loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Bush started and played 75 percent of the defensive snaps at linebacker alongside Jerome Baker and Carson Schwesinger. In addition to the seven tackles, Bush also logged one pass breakup and one quarterback hit on Joe Burrow. Bush appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Browns last season, making 10 starts, and finished with 76 tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass breakups.

To'oTo'o recorded six tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Texans' loss to the Rams on Sunday.

To'oTo'o recorded one of the Texans' three sacks of Matthew Stafford. To'oTo'o started and played 95 percent of the defensive snaps alongside Azeez Al-Shaair in the middle of Houston's defense. A fifth-round pick in 2023, To'oTo'o is coming off a 2024 in which he started all 15 regular-season games he appeared in, recording 105 tackles (54 solo), including 1.5 sacks.
