Allen posted eight tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Vikings' 16-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Allen got to Jaxson Dart for a six-yard sack on the final play of the third quarter. It was Allen's first sack since Week 10 against the Ravens, and the 2017 first-rounder is up to 3.5 sacks through 15 regular-season games. He's also logged 58 combined tackles on the year, which puts him in striking distance of his career high that he set in 2019 as a member of the Commanders (68 tackles through 15 regular-season games). Allen will have two more opportunities to set a new career high in tackles, starting with Christmas Day against the Lions.

Tuimoloau (oblique) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the 49ers.

Tuimoloau suffered an oblique injury early in the second quarter while on coverage on a kickoff. The injury has been deemed by medical staff too severe for the rookie second-rounder to return to Monday's game, so Samson Ebukam and Tyquan Lewis will take on more prominent roles on the defensive line in Tuimoloau's absence.

Cashman logged 16 tackles (seven solo) during the Vikings' 16-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

It was another active performance from Cashman, who played every single defensive snap and tied a season high with 16 combined tackles. He has reached double-digit stops in eight of his last nine games, and his 120 combined tackles (through 11 regular-season games) marks a career high for the 2019 fifth-rounder. Cashman will look to add to his tackling total Christmas Day against the Lions, whose offensive line is dealing with injuries to starting offensive linemen Taylor Decker (shoulder), Graham Glasgow (knee) and Christian Mahogany (lower leg).

Edmunds logged six tackles (one solo) and a fumble recovery during the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers on Saturday.

Nahshon Wright pried the football out of Josh Jacobs' hands midway through the third quarter, which Edmunds recovered to stop the Packers' red-zone drive in its tracks. Edmunds played in 67 of 72 defensive snaps (93.1 percent), which was an encouraging sign given that it was first game back from injured reserve. He reached the tackling century mark in each of his first seven seasons in the NFL, and he's up to 95 combined tackles through 11 regular-season games in 2025. Edmunds could reach that tackling milestone for an eighth straight year as soon as this Sunday against the 49ers.

Cooper registered three tackles (two solo) during the Packers' 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears on Saturday.

Cooper played every single defensive snap during Saturday's loss, but his three tackles were a season low. Despite the sparse production, the rookie second-rounder is up to 108 combined tackles through 15 regular-season games and has surpassed his total from his rookie campaign (87 stops through 14 regular-season games). Next up for Cooper and the Packers is a Week 17 home tilt against the Ravens this Saturday.

Bullard finished Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears with 10 tackles (five solo) and one pass defense.

Bullard entered Saturday's game having logged five tackles or less in each of his past seven games, but he reached double-digit tackles for the first time during the overtime loss and finished as the Packers' second-leading tackler behind Quay Walker (14). Bullard is now up to 76 combined tackles through 15 regular-season games and has a shot at surpassing his total from his rookie campaign (90 tackles across 15 regular-season games). He'll look to add to his tackling total against the Ravens in Week 17.

Walker registered 14 tackles (five solo), including one tackle for a loss, and one pass defense during the Packers' 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears on Saturday.

Walker was one of six Packer defenders to play all 64 defensive snaps, and his 14 tackles tied a season high that he set in Week 3 against the Browns. Walker has posted at least nine stops in three consecutive games and is up to 116 combined tackles through 13 regular-season games, which puts him within striking distance of his career high that he set in his rookie year in 2022 (121 tackles across 17 regular-season games). Walker could surpass his career high as soon as Saturday against the Ravens, who could be without superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson (back).

Tuimoloau (oblique) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the 49ers.

Tuimoloau sustained the injury while on kick coverage early in the second quarter. The rookie second-rounder has worked on both special teams and defense this season, so his absence would result in more defensive snaps being available for Samson Ebukam and Tyquan Lewis.

Cager reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Cager was brought up by the Commanders to add depth at tight end due to the absence of Colson Yankoff (ankle), though the former played just one snap on offense during Saturday's loss to the Eagles. It was Cager's first appearance of the 2025 regular season, and he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad twice more this season.

Jenkins reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jenkins was elevated to the Eagles' practice squad for Saturday's 29-18 win over the Commanders, when he played 18 snaps (six on offense, 12 on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise. He's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad once more this season, which could come as soon as Week 17 against the Bills.
