Cook recorded nine tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks, during the Bengals' 35-13 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Diaby made three tackles, all of which were sacks, in Sunday's 43-13 win against Carolina.

Diaby entered Sunday without a sack to his ledger through six games, but he got on the board with a second-quarter sack of Bryce Young. Diaby didn't stop there, as he added two more sacks on back-to-back plays in the third period. Diaby's career-best regular-season tally is 7.5 sacks in 2023, and he's now nearly halfway to that mark with his trio of sacks Sunday.

Conner finished Sunday's 20-3 loss to Seattle with seven tackles (two solo).

Conner was on the field for every single defensive snap for a second consecutive game following the Chiefs' Week 5 bye. He missed the first three games of the regular season due to a knee injury but has suited up for each of the team's last three contests, during which he has accumulated 17 tackles (nine solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense.

Knight totaled eight tackles (two solo) and an interception during the Bengals' win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Knight finished third on the team in tackles behind Bryan Cook and Barrett Carter during the victory, in addition to snagging his first interception of the campaign.

Williams finished Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Seahawks with 10 tackles (four solo) and one interception.

The second-year defensive back's 10 tackles were a career best, and his interception off Sam Darnold late in the second quarter was also the first of Williams' NFL career. Williams is up to 29 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and seven pass defenses (including one interception) through six regular-season games.

Wilson totaled six tackles (three solo) and an interception during Pittsburgh's win over the Saints on Sunday.

Wilson had a solid outing in the win, as he recorded the team's lone interception of Tyler Shough. The 26-year-old has now compiled 61 tackles (33 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and an interception across the first seven games of the campaign. He will look to keep producing during next week's matchup against the Browns.

Bolton registered 11 tackles (six solo) during the Chiefs' 20-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Bolton has recorded double-digit stops in four of six regular-season games and is up to 59 tackles (29 solo) and two pass defenses on the year.

Trotter logged 10 tackles and a defensed pass in Sunday's 43-13 win over Carolina.

Trotter's tackle tally led Tampa Bay and marked his fourth time reaching double-digit stops through six contests this season. The rookie linebacker missed Week 3 due to a shoulder injury but has otherwise been a central part of the Buccaneers' defense, logging at least an 83 percent defensive snap share in each game that he's appeared. Overall, Trotter has registered 62 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and an interception (which he returned for a touchdown).
