Reid logged two tackles (one solo) and a pass defense during the Saints' 34-26 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Reid played every single defensive snap during Sunday's win but had just two stops to show for it. The veteran safety signed a three-year, $31.5 million contract with the Saints in March after spending the past three seasons with the Chiefs, and in his first campaign with New Orleans he has accumulated 71 tackles (37 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and six pass defenses (including a pick-six) across 14 regular-season games.

Davis posted six tackles, including 0.5 sacks, during the Saints' 34-26 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Davis combined with Chase Young on an eight-yard sack of Cam Ward late in the fourth quarter, which resulted in the Titans punting the ball on the next play. Davis is up to 137 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, which surpassed his career high of 136 tackles in the same amount of games in 2024. Week 18 against the Falcons presents the veteran linebacker his final opportunity of the regular season to add to his tackle total.

Young logged four tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery for a touchdown during the Saints' 34-26 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Young arguably made the play of the game late in the second quarter, when he strip-sacked Cam Ward, recovered the fumble and returned it 33 yards for a touchdown to reduce the Saints' deficit to three points. It was the second defensive touchdown of Young's six-year NFL career, with the first taking place in his rookie season in 2020 while playing for Washington. His performance Sunday put him up to a career-high 8.5 sacks through 11 regular-season games, and he'll look to add to his total this Sunday against the Falcons.

Nolen successfully underwent surgery on his left knee Tuesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Nolen suffered a season-ending knee injury during the Cardinals' Week 16 loss to the Falcons. The extent and severity of his injury is not clear, but he could be facing a recovery timeline that would put him jeopardy of missing the start of the 2026 campaign. The rookie first-rounder logged 11 tackles (eight solo), including 2.0 sacks, two pass defenses and a fumble recovery for a touchdown across six regular-season games.

Simmons logged seven tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble during the Titans' 34-26 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Simmons made his impact felt early in the first quarter, when the Pro Bowl pass rusher strip-sacked Tyler Shough for a seven-yard loss, though the Saints were able to recover the football and punt on the next play. Simmons is up to 10.0 sacks on the year, which is the first time in his seven-year NFL career that he has cracked double digits and is tied with Maxx Crosby (knee) for 12th most in the league. Simmons' final chance to add to his sack total this season comes this Sunday on the road against the Jaguars.

Gray logged 12 tackles (nine solo), including one stop for a loss, during the Titans' 34-26 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Gray cleared the league's concussion protocol to return Sunday from a one-game absence, and the 2024 fourth-rounder made his impact felt with a game-high 12 tackles. It was the ninth time that Gray recorded double-digit stops and the third time that he played every single defensive snap. He is up to 156 combined tackles through 15 regular-season games, which is tied with rookie Carson Schwesinger for fifth most in the NFL. Gray's final opportunity to add to his tackling total is Week 18 against the Jaguars this Sunday.

Franklin posted five tackles (one solo) during the Colts' 23-17 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

It was the second game in a row in which Franklin posted five tackles or less and the fourth time across 16 regular-season games. He's up to 113 combined tackles in 2025, but it's a far cry from his output in each of the three prior seasons, including in 2024 when he led the league with 173 combined tackles across 17 regular-season games. Franklin will look to finish the 2025 campaign strongly this Sunday against the Texans.

Moore logged 10 tackles (eight solo), including two stops for a loss, during the Colts' 23-17 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Moore finished Sunday's contest as the Colts' second-leading tackler behind Nick Cross (12). It was the seventh time in Moore's career that he has logged 10 tackles in a game, which is his career high. The veteran corner is up to 54 tackles (34 solo), including 1.5 sacks, six pass defenses (including a pick-six) and two forced fumbles across 13 regular-season games.

Okereke recorded seven tackles (five solo) and one interception in the Giants' win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Okereke picked off Geno Smith at New York's nine-yard line in the first quarter, as it was Okereke's first interception of the season. The 29-year-old linebacker has started all 16 games, logging 137 tackles (75 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and five pass breakups, with the lone interception, across 100 percent of the defensive snaps. Only Bobby Wagner (1,068), Patrick Queen (1,061) and Devin White (1,061) have played more snaps than Okereke's 1,055 at linebacker this season.

Belton recorded seven tackles (three solo) and one interception in the Giants' 34-10 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Belton picked off Geno Smith in the fourth quarter, and it was Belton's first interception of the season. The fourth-year safety has produced a career-high 107 tackles (52 solo), including a career-best 2.0 sacks, five pass breakups, including the one interception, and three forced fumbles on 61 percent of the defensive snaps across 16 appearances this season.
