Browns' Grant Delpit: Solid outing vs Steelers
Delpit recorded six tackles (one solo) during Cleveland's loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Delpit played all but one defensive snap in Sunday's loss and has now racked up at least five tackles in four of his six appearances this season. The 27-year-old will look to keep producing in the team's Week 7 matchup versus the Dolphins.

T.J. Watt OLB | PIT
Steelers' T.J. Watt: Productive in Week 6 win
Watt posted five tackles, including 0.5 sacks, along with two defensed passes Sunday in a 23-9 victory against the Browns.
Watt's half-sack came on a third-down play in the second quarter and resulted in a Cleveland punt. It was the third straight game in which Watt has gotten to the QB, and pushed his season mark to 3.5 sacks. Watt was deemed a non-participant in practice for rest purposes both Monday and Tuesday this week, but he's not at risk of missing Thursday night's clash against Cincinnati.

Myles Garrett LB | LAR
Browns' Myles Garrett: Quiet outing in loss
Garrett logged two tackles in Cleveland's loss versus the Steelers on Sunday.
Garrett got off to a hot start this season but has struggled as of late, as he hasn't recorded a sack since the team's Week 3 win over the Packers. The 29-year-old will look to have a bounce-back performance Week 7 versus the Dolphins.

Patrick Queen LB | PIT
Steelers' Patrick Queen: Registers nine stops in Week 6
Queen logged nine tackles (one solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's 23-9 victory against the Browns.

Broncos' Nik Bonitto: Adds to sack total in Week 6 win
Bonitto tallied six tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets on Sunday.
The Broncos took down Justin Fields for nine sacks during Sunday's victory in London, England. Bonitto split sacks with Zach Allen in the second and fourth quarters, which extended his sack streak to four games. Bonitto is up to a league-leading 8.0 sacks through six games and is well on pace to surpass his total from 2024 (13.5 sacks across 17 regular-season games).

Jalen Ramsey CB | PIT
Steelers' Jalen Ramsey: Notches 2.0 sacks in Week 6 win
Ramsey tallied six tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 23-9 win against the Browns.
Ramsey dealt with a hamstring injury throughout the week, but he was able to suit up and logged 77 percent of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps. The veteran cornerback unexpectedly got to Browns rookie QB Dillon Gabriel in the backfield twice for his first two sacks of the season. In fact, the 2.0 sacks tied his career-best mark for an entire season. Ramsey was deemed a non-participant in practice both Monday and Tuesday this week, but the reason was cited as 'rest,' so he should be good to suit up against the Bengals on Thursday Night Football.

DeShon Elliott SAF | PIT
Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Totals 12 tackles in Week 6 victory
Elliott notched 12 tackles (four solo) Sunday in a 23-9 win against Cleveland.
Elliott led the Steelers in stops while doubling his previous season-high mark. The veteran safety seems to be past the knee injury that caused him to miss two games earlier in the campaign. Elliott was held out of practice Tuesday for rest purposes, but there's no reason to think he's at risk of missing Thursday's matchup against Cincinnati.

Justin Strnad LB | DEN
Broncos' Justin Strnad: Logs 1.5 sacks in Week 6 victory
Strnad recorded six tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, during the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Strnad combined with Jonathon Cooper for an eight-yard sack on Justin Fields on the last play in the third quarter, and Strnad tacked on another by himself late in the fourth frame. Strnad is now up to 3.5 sacks through six regular-season games, which has already surpassed his total from 2024 (3.0 sacks through 17 regular-season games).
