  • Kyler Gordon CB | CHI

    Bears' Kyler Gordon: Designated to return

    Gordon (groin) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Tuesday.

    The 26-year-old from Washington appeared in just three regular-season games this season due to hamstring and groin injuries, but it now appears he's nearing a return. If activated to Chicago's active roster, Gordon could suit up for the Bears' wild-card matchup against the Packers on Saturday. His practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication of his potential availability for this weekend.

  • D.J. Wonnum LB | CAR

    Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Underwhelms in 2025

    Wonnum recorded 42 total tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and three passes defensed, including one interception, across 16 regular-season games in 2025.

    Wonnum stayed healthy for nearly the whole season after appearing in just eight games during his first year in Carolina in 2024. During his time with the Panthers, he's struggled to get after the quarterback, recording just 7.0 sacks across 24 regular-season games. That production marks a notable drop-off from his 2023 campaign with the Vikings, when he tallied 8.0 sacks in 15 regular-season games. Now finishing the final season of a two-year, $12.5 million contract signed in March of 2024, Wonnum is set to hit unrestricted free agency following the Panthers' 2025 playoff campaign.

  • Panthers' A'Shawn Robinson: Production dips in 2025

    Robinson tallied 65 total tackles (21 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and three passes defensed across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

    In the second season of a three-year, $22.5 million contract, the 30-year-old from Alabama remained one of Carolina's top interior defensive linemen, starting 16 of the 17 regular-season games in which he appeared. However, Robinson saw declines in several statistical categories compared to 2024, finishing with fewer total tackles (80 to 65), sacks (5.5 to 3.5) and forced fumbles (one to zero). Those dips are partially attributable to the return of Derrick Brown, and the additions of Bobby Brown (concussion) and Tershawn Wharton (hamstring) in free agency, as Robinson played 58 fewer snaps this season. He's expected to remain a crucial part of the Panthers' defensive line following the team's 2025 playoff run.

  • Tre'von Moehrig SAF | CAR

    Panthers' Tre'von Moehrig: Impactful first year in Carolina

    Moehrig recorded 103 total tackles (65 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and two passes defensed, including one interception, over 16 regular-season games in 2025.

    Moehrig signed a three-year, $51 million deal with the Panthers in March and lived up to his contract in his first season with the team. The TCU product started all 16 regular-season games in which he appeared in and tallied a career-high 14 tackles for loss, the most TFLs by a defensive back in a single season in NFL history. His versatility played a key role in the Panthers' defensive success, as he logged 442 snaps in the box, 310 in the slot, 143 at free safety and 94 on the defensive line. Moehrig remains under contract through 2027 and is expected to remain one of Carolina's top defensive playmakers for years to come.

  • Zach Sieler DT | MIA

    Dolphins' Zach Sieler: Production dips in 2025

    Sieler made 47 tackles (29 solo), including 5.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season games in 2025. He also had one pass defensed and one fumble recovery.

    Sieler played two more games in 2025 than he did in 2024, but he nonetheless finished with just more than half the 10.0 sack total he had managed in each of Miami's prior seasons. The 30-year-old defensive tackle is under contract with the Dolphins through 2029, but the team will have a potential "out" in his contract after the 2026 campaign, making it potentially crucial for Sieler to bounce back to his usual production level next season.

  • Bradley Chubb OLB | MIA

    Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Wraps 2025 season with 8.5 sacks

    Chubb tallied 47 tackles (24 solo), including 8.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025. He also had two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

    Chubb saw his production totals decline compared to last season, despite the fact that he played one more game in 2025. Across 16 regular-season appearances in 2024, he managed 73 tackles (45 solo), including 11.0 sacks, plus two passes defensed, six forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Chubb will look to rebound in 2026, when he will play out the final season of his contract with the Dolphins.

  • Jack Jones CB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jack Jones: Caps career year with four stops

    Jones made four tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Patriots.

    Jones compiled a career-high 77 tackles (49 solo) across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025, plus six passes defensed, including one interception, and two forced fumbles. He's slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but given the tremendous amount of question marks looming for the Dolphins' cornerback corps, both sides could have mutual interest in a reunion.

  • Tyrel Dodson LB | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyrel Dodson: Surpassed 100 tackles in 2025

    Dodson tallied 129 tackles (72 solo), including 5.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025. He also had three passes defensed, including one interception, plus one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

    Dodson managed the first 100-tackle season of his NFL career while joining Jordyn Brooks as the only every-down starter in Miami's linebacker corps. He's slated to play out the final year of his contract with the Dolphins in 2026. Dodson will be a solid bet to reach the 100-tackle threshold again in 2026 as long as the offseason additions Miami brings to the linebacker corps don't threaten to infringe on his starting role.

  • Jordyn Brooks LB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Leads league in tackles

    Brooks racked up a league-leading 183 tackles (99 solo), including 3.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025. He also had three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

    Brooks led the league in terms of total tackles in 2025 but fell one short of the career-high mark he notched back in 2021, while a member of the Seahawks. The 28-year-old linebacker, who is now heading into the final season of his contract with the Dolphins, has solidified himself as a premier run defender and high-end fantasy asset in IDP formats.

  • Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Perfect in Week 18 loss

    Patterson converted his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Patriots.

    Patterson ultimately started all 17 regular-season games for Miami with Jason Sanders (hip) never gaining clearance to return from IR. In that span, Patterson converted 27 of 29 field-goal attempts and 34 of 35 extra-point tries, operating as one of the league's most accurate kickers. Patterson is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason while Sanders remains under contract with the Dolphins. With that, Patterson may need to compete for a starting gig elsewhere in the league for the 2026 season.
