Henley posted eight tackles (two solo), including 0.5 sacks, during the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Henley's 67 defensive snaps and eight tackles were both second-most on the Chargers behind Derwin James (75 snaps, 10 tackles). Henley combined with Troy Dye to sack Jacoby Brissett on third down midway through the fourth quarter, forcing the Cardinals to punt on the next play. Henley reached the tackling century mark in both 2024 and 2025, and is well on pace to do so again this year.

Edwards played all 68 defensive snaps for the Bears, logging one tackle, in Sunday's 59-37 win over the Panthers.

Edwards played every defensive snap of the 13 total defensive drives the Bears were subjected to. Despite the starting middle linebacker never leaving the field, he only logged one tackle in the effort. Edwards will likely need a more impactful performance in the Bears' Week 2 game against the Vikings for the squad to hold the divisional rival to fewer scores.

Edmunds compiled eight total tackles (seven solo) in Sunday night's 28-20 win over Dallas.

Edmunds inked a three-year deal with the Giants in March, and he has opened the season as one of the team's starting inside linebackers along with rookie Arvell Reese. The 28-year-old has reached at least 102 total tackles in each of his first eight NFL campaigns, and he will likely remain busy throughout the 2026 season with New York.

Bush made six tackles (two solo) and recovered one fumble in Sunday's 59-37 win over the Panthers.

Bush played 65 defensive snaps in the contest, good for 96 percent of the Bears' total defensive plays overall. The linebacker's fumble recovery at the beginning of the fourth quarter came off a Tetairoa McMillan error while the game was 45-31. Bush performed consistently throughout the team's 13 defensive drives.

Paye finished with six tackles (three solo) and 2.0 sacks in Sunday's 27-13 win over Miami.

The Raiders defense ended Week 1 with 5.0 sacks, with Paye accounting for 2.0 of them. He capped off the day by getting to Malik Willis in the Dolphins' final drive to help fully extinguish any chance of a late comeback. The 27-year-old veteran had played for the Colts since 2021 before signing a three-year deal with Las Vegas in March 2026. He ended his tenure in Indianapolis by appearing in 17 regular-season games, amassing 39 total tackles and 4.0 sacks.

Bolton posted four tackles (two solo) and a pass defense during the Chiefs' 31-10 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Bolton's four tackles would have been his second-lowest total of the 2025 regular season (two in Week 7 against the Raiders), though he still finished tied for the third-most tackles on the Chiefs behind L'Jarius Sneed (eight) and Drue Tranquill (seven). Even with Kansas City holding a commanding lead in the fourth quarter, Bolton still played all 51 defensive snaps, so he should have plenty of opportunities to put up larger numbers in the box score this season. He's logged at least 100 tackles in four of his six years in the NFL, and he finished the 2025 campaign with 154 tackles (73 solo), including 1.0 sacks, six pass defenses (including an interception) and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games.

Oluokun recorded four total tackles (three solo) and an interception during Sunday's 34-10 win over Cleveland.

Oluokun was uncharacteristically quiet when it comes to takedowns, securing his fewest tackles in a regular-season game since Week 7 of the 2025 campaign. He made his mark in different way Sunday, intercepting a throw from Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson in the first quarter. The linebacker has registered at least 108 total tackles in each of the last six seasons, and he figures to be busier in Week 2 against the Broncos.

Davis made eight tackles (four solo) and had one pass defensed over 50 defensive snaps in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans.

Davis was on the field for every Jets defensive snap in the contest. The linebacker also led the team in tackles in his first game as a Jet. Davis signed a two-year, $22 million contract with the team in March.

Sherwood made four tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans.

The starting middle linebacker played 45 defensive snaps, good for 90 percent of the Jets' total defensive plays. Sherwood also played two special teams snaps, filling in whenever needed.

Stukes ended with six tackles (four solo) and one interception in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Dolphins.

The Raiders defense had 5.0 sacks in Week 1, tied for the highest in the NFL. While Kwity Paye shined for Las Vegas, Stukes also made an impact in his first career NFL game, picking off a pass from Malik Willis intended for Caleb Douglas, subsequently leading to a 30-yard field goal from Matt Gay for the Raiders' final score of the game. The 2026 No. 38 overall pick spent his entire collegiate career at Arizona, garnering 207 total tackles, 26 passes defended, 1.0 sacks and seven interceptions.
