Sherwood recorded eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 48-20 loss at Jacksonville.

Sherwood continues to make the most of his big role in the Jets' defense, and he has now logged eight-plus tackles in nine games this season. He ranks seventh in the league in total tackles this season (129) going into a Week 16 matchup at New Orleans.

Muasau totaled nine tackles (three solo) during the Giants' loss versus the Commanders on Sunday.

Muasau spent the last five weeks on injured reserve due to an ankle injury but had a strong outing in his return, compiling a team-high nine tackles. With Micah McFadden still out following foot surgery, Muasau should continue to serve as one of the Giants' starting inside linebackers alongside Bobby Okereke during the Week 16 matchup against the Vikings.

Johnson tallied five solo tackles and three pass defenses, including an interception, during the Jaguars' 48-20 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Johnson started in the six games prior to Week 15, though he worked in a rotational role in the secondary behind starting safeties Eric Murray and Andrew Wingard. Johnson ended up playing more defensive snaps than the Jaguars' two starting safeties, and he closed Sunday's blowout win by picking off Brady Cook on a pass intended for Arian Smith late in the fourth quarter. It was Johnson's third interception of the season, which surpasses his total number of picks over the first two years of his NFL career. The 2023 fifth-rounder is up to 52 tackles (31 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and seven pass defenses through 14 regular-season games.

Johnson (foot) was estimated as a non-participant for the Eagles' walkthrough practice Tuesday.

Johnson has missed Philadelphia's last four games recovering from a Lisfranc sprain he suffered in Week 11 versus the Lions, and now his availability for Week 16 is in jeopardy as well. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Wednesday or Thursday to have any chance to play Saturday at Washington.

Belton recorded eight tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles during the Giants' loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Belton has continued to produce despite the team's struggles, as he's now racked up seven or more tackles in seven of his last eight games. The 25-year-old has already compiled a career-best 94 tackles (45 solo), including 2.0 sacks, across 14 games and will look to add to those totals during the team's Week 16 matchup versus the VIkings.

Tom (knee/back) was deemed a non-participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough.

The back issue has been lingering for most of the season, and Tom also hurt his knee against Denver on Sunday. Packers coach Matt LaFleur was noncommittal when asked about Tom's chances of suiting up Saturday versus Chicago, saying, "We'll see. I know he's going to fight and try to [play]. We'll give him the week," per Zach Kruse of Packers Wire. If Tom can't participate in that contest, Jordan Morgan or Darian Kinnard (neck) may be asked to start at right tackle.

Johnson (ankle) was estimated as a non-participant for the Eagles' walkthrough practice Tuesday.

Johnson played through his ankle issue during Sunday's game versus the Raiders, so it could be that Philadelphia is just playing things safe as it deals with multiple injuries at offensive tackle. He'll get two more chances to log a full practice before the Eagles publish their last practice report of the week Thursday.

Dickerson (calf) was estimated as a non-participant for the Eagles' walkthrough practice Tuesday.

Dickerson played through the problem with his calf in Week 15 versus the Raiders, so it's possible Philadelphia is just exercising caution with its three-time Pro Bowl guard. He'll have two more shots to practice in full before the Eagles release their final practice report of the week Thursday.

Tunsil (oblique) was a DNP on Tuesday's practice report, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

Tunsil sustained oblique and shoulder injuries during Sunday's win over the Giants, but it is the former injury that he was tagged with to open Week 16 prep. Tunsil will have two more chances to practice ahead of Saturday's game against the Eagles, but if he's not cleared to play, Brandon Coleman would be the top candidate to start at left tackle.

The Giants designated Neal (hamstring) for return to practice from their injured reserve list Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Neal was placed on the Giants' injured reserve list with a hamstring injury ahead of their Week 11 contest versus the Packers, and after missing the team's last four games, he now appears to be on track to return to action soon. However, with the club mostly healthy on the offensive line, Neal wouldn't figure to play in Week 16 even if he became available again.
