Knight totaled seven tackles (five solo) and returned a fumble for a touchdown during the Bengals' win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Knight got off to a strong start this season, as he managed to score his first career touchdown while finishing tied for fourth on the team in tackles. The 2025 second-round pick recorded 106 tackles (58 solo), including 3.0 sacks, across 17 games and will look to keep producing next week against the Texans.

The Packers hosted Harris (foot) for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Harris was waived from the Saints' training camp roster in early August due to a foot injury, though he appears to be at full health given his participation in Tuesday's workout. The undrafted rookie out of Ole Miss is looking to catch on with a team in need of depth at defensive tackle, though Harris is more likely to be signed to a practice squad rather than an active roster.

Brisker recorded six tackles (four solo) and an interception during Sunday's 20-13 win versus the Falcons.

With Pittsburgh trailing 7-6 early in the second quarter, Brisker found himself well-positioned to pick off a poorly placed Cooper Rush pass, setting up a go-ahead Steelers touchdown. He should play a near-every down role again in Week 2 against New England.

Thieneman logged 10 tackles (eight solo) and one pass defense during the Bears' 59-37 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Thieneman, a first-round selection of the Bears in the 2026 NFL Draft, made his regular-season debut Sunday in what turned out to be the highest-scoring Week 1 contest in NFL history. Thieneman did his part, leading the Bears in tackles while playing all 68 defensive snaps and playing 17 more snaps on special teams. The rookie figures to be busy this season if the Bears' secondary doesn't show improvement, though the team was without fellow safety Xavier Woods (groin) against Carolina.

Rose (undisclosed) had a tryout with the Cardinals on Tuesday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Rose was waived from injured reserve with an injury settlement by the Jaguars on Sept. 5 after suffering an undisclosed injury during the preseason. The defensive lineman now appears to be fully healthy, and he'll look to latch on with a new squad in the near future.

The Packers cut Hilton from the practice squad Tuesday.

The undrafted free agent out of LSU signed with the Packers' practice squad on Sept. 1 after clearing waivers. Hilton will now likely look to sign with another team's practice squad for a shot at making his NFL debut in 2026.

Wilson recorded 13 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 20-13 win versus the Falcons.

In a game where Atlanta stayed committed to a run-heavy attack throughout, Wilson had plenty of opportunities for tackles, and he started the new season on strong footing. He's firmly on the IDP radar going into a Week 2 matchup at New England.

Prentice had zero carries during Monday's 31-10 loss against the Chiefs.

Prentice was elevated from the practice squad ahead of the meeting with the Chiefs. He logged just six snaps on offense, though he registered 19 on special teams. The 29-year-old appeared in all 17 regular-season games for Denver in 2025, totaling 10 carries for 44 yards, adding six catches for 53 yards.

Rousseau logged four tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Buffalo's win over the Texans on Sunday.

Rousseau was dominant in the season opener, racking up two of the Bills' three sacks of C.J. Stroud. His four solo tackles were also tied for the third most on the team. The 2021 first-round pick will look to build off this strong performance and keep producing during the Week 2 matchup versus Detroit on Thursday.

VanSumeren reverted back to the practice squad with Kansas City on Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

VanSumeren was elevated to the active roster ahead of Monday night's 31-10 win over the Broncos, and he logged three snaps on offense. The fullback was also on the field for 22 snaps with the special-teams unit, securing two tackles, one of which was on kick coverage and the other on punt coverage. VanSumeren can be elevated two more times before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.
