Gordon recorded five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Thursday's 30-24 win over the Patriots.

Gordon's sack came early -- he brought down Drake Maye for a loss of one yard on a fourth-down play during the Patriots' first offensive drive. The star cornerback has been a terror for opposing offenses through his first two games, as he's already blown by his previous career high with 4.0 sacks. Gordon has done that despite playing a modest 48 defensive snaps across the two contests. He upped his snap share to 58 percent Thursday (after posting a 31 percent mark in his season debut Week 6) and should continue to increase his time on the field as he moves further past a calf injury.

Thieneman tallied eight tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks, in a 30-24 victory versus the Patriots on Thursday.

Thieneman's eight stops led the Bears. The rookie safety also got to the quarterback for a second straight game, as he was credited with a half-sack of Drake Maye in the fourth quarter. Thieneman has already established himself as a viable IDP asset, posting at least six tackles in six of seven contests and recording 1.5 sacks along with an interception through seven games.

Jackson finished with six tackles (three solo) and an interception Thursday in a 30-24 victory over New England.

Jackson's six stops were good for second-most on Chicago. However, his biggest impact came on a second-quarter interception of Drake Maye in the Bears' end zone to snuff out what looked to be a Patriots scoring drive. Jackson played every Chicago defensive snap Thursday and has posted a snap share of over 79 percent each of the past three weeks after logging less than half of the team's defensive snaps Weeks 1-4.

Jones registered nine tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, and returned one punt for 19 yards in Thursday's loss to the Bears.

Jones finished second on New England in stops behind Christian Elliss (13). He also notched his first sack of the campaign, bringing down Caleb Williams on a second-down play near the end of the first half, though Chicago scored a touchdown on its following snap. Jones is off to a strong start to the campaign, recording 36 tackles (including 1.0 sacks) and five defensed passes (including an interception) through seven contests.

Elliss tallied 13 tackles (eight solo) in a Week 7 loss to Chicago on Thursday.

Elliss' 13 stops not only led New England, they also tied a career-best mark. The veteran linebacker logged a 100 percent defensive snap share for the fourth time this season and posted his second double-digit tackle performance. Elliss set a career best with 94 regular-season stops over 15 games last season, and he's on pace to easily surpass that mark with 51 tackles (including 1.0 sacks) through seven contests in 2026.

Shelton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Philadelphia, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Shelton continues to be sidelined by a hamstring injury he sustained against the Texans in Week 4. His next opportunity to suit up is Week 8 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Liufau (forearm) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Eagles, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Liufa broke his left forearm during the Cowboys' preseason finale against the Saints in late August, which prompted his placement on injured reserve to open the regular season. He was cleared to return to practice Thursday and ended Week 7 prep with back-to-back full sessions, but he would need to be activated from IR in order to be available for Monday night's contest.

Lampkin (illness) does not have an injury designation against the Cowboys on Monday.

Lampkin was battling through an illness during Week 7 prep, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to avoid an injury tag for Monday night's contest. He'll continue to operate as the Eagles' starting left guard.

Steen (shoulder) does not have an injury designation for Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Steen ended Week 7 prep with a full practice Saturday, which was enough for him to fade an injury tag for Monday Night Football. The fourth-year pro will continue to serve as the Eagles' starter at right guard.

Dickerson (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Dickerson ended Week 7 prep with a full practice, but he would need to be activated from injured reserve in order to be available for Monday night's NFC East tilt. The sixth-year offensive guard has been on IR since mid-September due to a knee injury that he sustained against the Commanders in Week 1.
