  • Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Has another nice game Sunday

    Taylor-Demerson recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 37-14 loss at Cincinnati.

    Taylor-Demerson's 74 defensive snaps were one short of the career-high total he posted in Week 16 versus the Falcons, and his nine tackles also represented the second-best mark of his young career. If Budda Baker (concussion) is out again in Week 18, Taylor-Demerson would profile as a good IDP option in most formats.

    Patriots' Marcus Jones: Logs two solo stops vs. NYJ

    Jones recorded two solo tackles during the Patriots' 42-10 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    Jones has logged two tackles or less five times this season, four of which have come over his last six games. He's also seen his snap count on defense decrease over the Patriots' last two games, though his lack of playing time Sunday likely had more to do with New England holding a commanding lead by halftime. Jones has accumulated 63 tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 11 pass defenses (three interceptions, including a pick-six) and one fumble recovery through 16 regular-season games.

  • Cody Simon LB | ARI

    Cardinals' Cody Simon: Leading tackler in loss

    Simon recorded 15 tackles (four solo), including 0.5 sacks, during Sunday's 37-14 loss at Cincinnati.

    Aided by a game script that saw the pass-happy Bengals run the ball 35 times, Simon achieved a new best tackle total for his young career in Week 17. Since he's now operating as the Cardinals' top option at linebacker, he's solidly within the bounds of the IDP discussion going into a Week 18 matchup against the Rams.

  • Keion White DE | SF

    49ers' Keion White: Doesn't practice Tuesday

    White (groin) did not participate in Tuesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    White likely tweaked his groin during the 49ers' win over the Bears on Sunday, though it's unclear whether it's related to the same issue that limited his practice participation in early November. The third-year defensive end will have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Saturday's game against the Seahawks.

  • 49ers' Renardo Green: No limitations Tuesday

    Green (neck) is expected to be listed as a full participant at practice Tuesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Green has sat out San Francisco's last two games due to a neck injury, but he's in a good spot to begin the last week of preparation for the regular season. Provided there aren't any setbacks Wednesday or Thursday, he's on track to play versus the Seahawks in Week 18.

  • 49ers' Kyle Juszczyk: Working through hip injury

    Juszczyk didn't participate in Tuesday's practice due to a hip injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Juszczyk played 39 of 72 offensive snaps (54.2 percent) during the 49ers' 42-38 win over the Bears on Sunday, hauling in both of his targets for 14 yards, including a six-yard touchdown pass from Brock Purdy in the third quarter. The fullback appears to have come out of that contest worse for wear with a hip injury, but he'll have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Saturday's tilt with the Seahawks.

  • Payton Wilson LB | PIT

    Steelers' Payton Wilson: Posts five stops vs. Cleveland

    Wilson logged five tackles (three solo) during the Steelers' 13-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Wilson played just 23 of 52 defensive snaps (44.2 percent) during Sunday's loss, but he still managed to finish tied for the second-most tackles on the Steelers behind Kyle Dugger (eight). Wilson is up to 123 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, which leads the Steelers and is tied with Zack Baun for 17th most in the NFL.

  • Kyle Dugger SAF | PIT

    Steelers' Kyle Dugger: Picks off Sanders in Week 17 loss

    Dugger recorded eight tackles (five solo) and one interception during the Steelers' 13-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Dugger's eight tackles Sunday were a season high, and he nabbed his second interception of the season when he jumped in front of a pass from Shedeur Sanders intended for Jerry Jeudy early in the fourth quarter. Since being traded by the Patriots to the Steelers in October, Dugger has logged 40 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and five pass defenses (including one interception and a pick-six) across eight regular-season games with Pittsburgh.

  • Divine Deablo LB | ATL

    Falcons' Divine Deablo: Paces Falcons with 10 stops Monday

    Deablo tallied 10 tackles (seven solo) in a 27-24 win against the Rams on Monday.

    Deablo was Atlanta's leading tackler in the team's upset victory. The veteran linebacker reached double-digit stops in a game for the first time on the campaign, surpassing his previous season-high mark of eight tackles. A forearm injury cost Deablo four games earlier in the season, but he's suited up in every contest since Week 12 and has at least six stops in five of his past six games.

  • Chris Blair WR | ATL

    Chris Blair: Goes back to practice squad

    Blair reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday.

    Blair was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Monday's 27-24 win over the Rams and was limited to six snaps on special teams. He recorded one tackle on kick coverage but didn't see any reps at receiver, despite Atlanta making Casey Washington and Malik Heath healthy inactives for the game. Since Blair has now been elevated from the practice squad the maximum three times, he would need to be signed to the 53-man roster in order to be eligible to play in Sunday's season finale versus the Saints.
