Crosby logged two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Patriots.

Crosby was credited with a sack in the first quarter when he pushed Drake Maye out of bounds. Crosby played all 71 defensive snaps in Sunday's win, which is a good sign after the 2019 fourth-rounder missed the final four games of the 2024 campaign due to an ankle injury.

Prater made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in the Bills' 41-40 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Buffalo placed Tyler Bass (hip/groin) on injured reserve prior to the Week 1 matchup, prompting the team to elevate the 41-year-old Prater from the practice squad to fill in as the team's kicker. Prater deftly handled all of his assignments, none bigger than when he calmly nailed a 32-yard game-winning field goal as time expired. With Bass due to miss at least the next three games while on IR, Prater will likely be elevated once again in advance of the Bills' Week 2 matchup with the Jets.

Winfield finished with four tackles (one solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's 23-20 Week 1 win over Atlanta.

Winfield had a relatively quiet game statistically, but he made a key pass breakup with time winding down late in the fourth quarter as the Falcons were driving down the field. Perhaps most importantly, Winfield looked healthy after playing in only eight regular-season games last year and missing time during training camp due to injury. Winfield logged 74 of Tampa Bay's 76 defensive snaps Sunday.

Washington reverted to Atlanta's practice squad Monday.

Washington didn't record any stats across the 10 snaps he played on special teams during Sunday's loss versus the Buccaneers. The 2023 undrafted free agent will now await his next opportunity to be called up to the active roster.

Dennis posted 10 tackles (seven solo), including two for loss, and a defensed pass Sunday in a 23-20 victory over the Falcons.

Dennis was one of three Bucs to reach the double-digit tackle mark in the win. It was a solid statistical beginning for the third-year linebacker, who made his first NFL start Sunday. Dennis did miss a few tackles, however, and head coach Todd Bowles described his performance as "up and down," per PewterReport.

Highsmith recorded eight tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Steelers' win versus the Jets on Sunday.

Highsmith got off to a hot start this season, as he tied Patrick Queen for the team lead in tackles in addition to recording the Steelers' only sack. Highsmith will look to build off this performance and keep producing during the team's Week 2 matchup versus Seattle.

Sills reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Sills was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers, failing to record any stats while playing two offensive snaps. With Darnell Mooney (shoulder) banged up and both Drake London (shoulder) and Jamal Agnew (groin) suffering injuries in the opener, it's possible that Sills is elevated again in Week 2 versus the Vikings.

Chesnut rushed the ball twice for two yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Broncos.

Chestnut served as the Titans' top running back behind Tony Pollard but still had only a peripheral role in the offense. Tyjae Spears (ankle) will remain sidelined for at least three more games, while Kalel Mullings (ankle) was also shaken up in Sunday's loss. That leaves Chestnut as Pollard's clear backup for the foreseeable future.

David logged nine tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 23-20 win over Atlanta.

David finished fourth on the Bucs in stops, as the team had three players hit the double-digit mark. Among the linebacker's tackles was one that went for a loss, and he also registered a QB hit. David has reached triple-digit tackles in seven of his past eight seasons and is off to a fast start in his quest to reach that mark again this year.

Watt logged five tackles (three solo) and a pass deflection during Pittsburgh's win over the Jets on Sunday.

Watt managed to have a strong performance in his season debut despite not recording a sack. The 30-year-old has racked up double-digit sacks in seven of his nine previous seasons, which earned him a three-year, $123 million extension in July, and he will look to bring down Sam Darnold for his first sack of the campaign next week versus the Seahawks.
