  • Troy Dye LB | LAC

    Chargers' Troy Dye: Steps up against Giants

    Dye recorded 13 tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.

    Dye has been filling in for the injured Denzel Perryman (ankle) as the primary inside linebacker opposite Daiyan Henley. Dye had been underwhelming in the role, managing only 11 combined stops in the first three games of the season. That changed in Sunday's loss, and he should be in for a heavy snap count once again in Week 5 against Washington.

  • Braelon Allen RB | NYJ

    Jets' Braelon Allen: Quickly ruled out

    Allen (knee) will not return to Monday's game against the Dolphins, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinelreports.

    Allen was injured on a kickoff return late in the second quarter when a defender was pushed down in front of him and fell into his knee. He was able to walk off the field and to the locker room under his own power, but Allen was quickly ruled out. Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis will be counted on to handle the majority of work out of the backfield for the rest of the game.

  • Nate Landman LB | LAR

    Rams' Nate Landman: Notches six stops in Week 4 win

    Landman posted six tackles (three solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a 27-20 victory over the Colts.

    Landman's tackle total tied for third most on the team. The former Falcon has posted 27 stops, a defensed pass and a forced fumble through his first four regular-season contests as a member of the Rams.

  • Braelon Allen RB | NYJ

    Jets' Braelon Allen: Heads to locker room

    Allen walked to the locker room with an apparent knee injury in Monday's game against the Dolphins, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Allen was tackled low on a kickoff return in the second quarter and limped off the field. He was able to go to the locker room under his own power, though his status for at least the rest of the game is in question.

  • Lions' Aidan Hutchinson: Collects two more sacks

    Hutchinson finished Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns with four tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.

    Hutchinson's sacks on Joe Flacco came in the second and fourth quarter, the latter of which resulted in a fumble that was recovered by Trevor Nowaske and resulted in an eight-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Amon-Ra St. Brown six plays later. Hutchinson is up to 4.0 sacks on the year, which is tied for fifth most in the NFL.

  • Evan Williams SAF | GB

    Packers' Evan Williams: Records 10 tackles in Week 4 tie

    Williams finished Sunday's 40-40 overtime tie against the Cowboys with 10 tackles (five solo).

    Nine of Williams' stops came on defensive plays, and the other took place on special teams. This was the second time in Williams' two-year career that he's notched double-digit stops in a contest. The other instance took place in Week 5 of last season against the Rams.

  • Tuli Tuipulotu LB | LAC

    Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu: Constantly in backfield

    Tuipulotu recorded 10 tackles (seven solo), including 4.0 sacks, and forced a fumble in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.

    Tuipulotu logged a career-high 10 tackles, with his previous career best being seven. He was also constantly in the backfield, taking down Jaxson Dart four times in his first career start under center. Tuipulotu has improved in every season as a pro and could be on his way to his first double-digit sack campaign.

  • Jack Campbell LB | DET

    Lions' Jack Campbell: Double-digit tackles vs. Cleveland

    Campbell logged 11 tackles (seven solo) during Detroit's 34-10 win over Cleveland on Sunday.

    Campbell led both teams in tackling while playing every defensive snap for the third time in four games. It was the second time he's registered at least 10 tackles in a game, and he is now up to 37 total tackles this season, which is seventh most in the NFL.

  • Brian Branch CB | DET

    Lions' Brian Branch: Defends three passes vs. Cleveland

    Branch logged five tackles (three solo) and three pass defenses during the Lions' 34-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Branch was one of three Lions defenders to play every single snap and was responsible for three of the team's 10 pass defenses against Browns quarterback Joe Flacco. Branch is up to 22 total tackles through four games, and he is on pace to crack 100 tackles for a second consecutive season.

  • Fred Warner MLB | SF

    49ers' Fred Warner: Tallies eight tackles

    Warner recorded eight tackles (six solo) with a forced fumble in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jaguars.

    Warner logged 100 percent of defensive snaps for the third straight game and has at least eight tackles in every contest. He also forced his second fumble of the year, helping to stall a Jacksonville drive late in the third quarter.
