Okada compiled nine tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Seahawks' 27-19 win over the Texans on Monday.

Okada was one of four Seahawks players to play all 76 defensive snaps in Monday's win. He recorded the first solo sack of his three-year NFL career late in the third quarter, when he came on a blitz to take down C.J. Stroud for an eight-yard loss, which resulted in the Texans punting the ball on the next play. Okada has started in four of the Seahawks' last five games, but he would likely revert to rotational role in the secondary and as a contributor on special teams following the Week 8 bye if Julian Love (hamstring) is able to play in Week 9 against the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Graham recorded four tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 20-10 loss at San Francisco.

Finally back in playing shape off of a calf injury that landed him on injured reserve prior to Week 1, Graham was given a notable role on the defensive line right off the bat Sunday, playing 29 of the Falcons' 66 defensive snaps. He'll be trying to earn an even more favorable snap share in a Week 8 matchup versus the Dolphins.

Jones tallied 11 tackles (four solo) and an interception during the Seahawks' 27-19 win over the Texans on Monday.

Jones made his impact felt on the Seahawks' second defensive play of the second half, when he picked off C.J. Stroud on a deep pass intended for Nico Collins, which led to a 26-yard field goal from Jason Myers eight plays later. Jones also had a 12-yard solo sack on Stroud early in the second quarter that was negated by a penalty. Jones played every single defensive snap for the sixth time this season and led both teams in tackles Monday. He's up to 59 stops through seven regular-season games, which is tied for 11th most in the NFL.

Mustapha tallied six tackles (three solo) Sunday in a 20-10 win over the Falcons.

After beginning the campaign on IR, Mustapha returned in Week 6 and logged a 38 percent snap share. The second-year safety's workload jumped significantly in Week 7, as Mustapha was on the field for 69 percent of the 49ers' defensive snaps. David Lombardi of SFStandard.com suggests that Mustapha will ultimately be a regular starter while Sigle, Pinnock and Ji'Ayir Brown -- who played every defensive snap Sunday -- contend for the No. 2 spot.

Alford recorded one tackle (one solo) during Sunday's 20-10 loss at San Francisco.

The 49ers ran the ball on 59 percent of their offensive snaps in Week 7, so Alford was only on the field for 22 plays on defense, limiting his opportunities. With a pass-dependent Dolphins attack on tap for Week 8, Alford is set up nicely for a bounce-back game.

Sigle recorded two tackles (one solo) while playing just 31 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps in Sunday's 20-10 win over Atlanta.

Sigle played every one of San Francisco's defensive snaps from Week 1 to Week 5, but he dipped to a 62 percent share upon the return of Malik Mustapha from IR in Week 6 versus Tampa Bay. The rookie safety's defensive snap share then dropped to 31 percent Sunday, with Mustapha at 69 percent and Jason Pinnock at 35 percent. David Lombardi of SFStandard.com suggests that Mustapha will ultimately be a regular starter while Sigle, Pinnock and Ji'Ayir Brown -- who played every defensive snap Sunday -- contend for the No. 2 spot.

Elliss recorded nine tackles (four solo) and an interception during Sunday's 20-10 loss at San Francisco.

49ers quarterback Mac Jones only threw 26 passes in Week 7, and Elliss nabbing a pick in the red zone in the middle of the second quarter is probably a big reason why. Elliss will look to keep up the momentum in coverage against a pass-happy Dolphins team in Week 8.

Watts recorded nine tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 20-10 loss at San Francisco.

The 49ers created plenty of tackling opportunities by running the ball 39 times in Week 7, and Watts seized his share of stops, tying his season-high total. He might not get quite so many chances when Atlanta hosts a pass-heavy Dolphins offense in Week 8.

Ham (hand) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough.

Ham has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a left hand injury that he sustained against the Eagles on Sunday. He would have to practice in at least a limited capacity Wednesday in order to have a realistic chance of playing against the Chargers on Thursday.

Britt played one defensive snap and 23 special teams snaps during Sunday's 31-6 loss at Cleveland.

When Tyrel Dodson sat out with a concussion in Week 6, Britt filled in and ultimately led Miami in tackles. But with Dodson healthy and available again in Week 7, Britt was all but completely phased out of the Dolphins' defensive game plan. He doesn't figure to play a significant role at linebacker unless one of Jordyn Brooks or Dodson is out of the picture.
