Bolton racked up 14 tackles (six solo) and defensed a pass in Sunday's 22-9 Week 3 win over the Giants.

Bolton's 14 tackles matched the amount he had recorded in the Chiefs' first two games this season. Of his stops Sunday, two went for a loss. Bolton has 28 tackles through three games as he pursues his fourth triple-digit campaign of his five-year NFL career.

Pace recorded 12 total tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 48-10 win over the Bengals.

Pace led the team with 12 stops in Week 3, which marked his highest total in a game since Week 8 of last season. The linebacker has now compiled 26 total tackles (18 solo) over the first three games this year.

Queen recorded 10 tackles (six solo) in the Steelers' win over the Patriots on Sunday.

In addition to the 10 tackles, Queen also logged a pair of pass breakups on 100 percent of the defensive snaps. On the season, Queen has 24 tackles (14 solo), including a pair of TFLs, two pass breakups and two QB hits.

Vaki has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Ravens due to a groin injury.

Vaki appeared to suffer the injury on punt coverage in the first half. He was quickly taken to the locker room, and after further evaluation, the injury has been deemed severe enough for him to not return to Monday's contest. With Craig Reynolds (coach's decision) a healthy scratch and Vaki done for the night, Jacob Saylors will serve as the Lions' RB3 behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery the rest of the way.

Watt recorded five tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, along with a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in the Steelers' win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Watt's pair of sacks ended Watt's five-game regular-season sack drought, dating back to last season. Through three games in 2025, Watt has 14 tackles (seven solo), including the 2.0 sacks and one pass breakup in addition to the forced fumble and fumble recovery. Watt will look to build on the Week 3 performance Sunday against the Vikings in Dublin.

Okereke notched eight tackles (four solo) Sunday in a Week 3 loss to the Chiefs.

Though New York fell to 0-3 with the loss, the team's defense fared pretty well against Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City. Okereke led the way with a team-high eight tackles, yet it was the first time this season the veteran linebacker has failed to reach double-digit stops. That speaks to how prolific he can be in terms of racking up tackles -- he has 34 through three games, ranking first in the NFL with one Week 3 game left to play Monday night.

Wright reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Wright was elevated to the Seahawks' active roster for the first time Sunday, when he played eight snaps (five on offense, three on special teams) in a 44-13 win over the Saints. He finished the game with five carries for 20 yards, all of which came in garbage time during Seattle's blowout victory. Zach Charbonnet was unable to play due to a foot injury, and Wright would be a candidate to be elevated for the Seahawks' Week 4 clash against the Cardinals on Thursday if the former is not cleared to play.

Echols recorded six tackles (four solo) and one interception in the Steelers' win over the Patriots on Sunday.

With Joey Porter (hamstring) missing another contest, Echols got the start in Pittsburgh's secondary and played 84 percent of the defensive snaps. Echols' interception came at the end of the first half, picking off Drake Maye in the end zone on a pass intended for Kayshon Boutte. It was Echols' first interception of the season.

Turner reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Turner got his first elevation of the season for Sunday's win over Arizona and logged seven special-teams snaps along with one snap on offense. San Francisco's wideout corps has been depleted early in the season, as Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is on the PUP list, Jacob Cowing (hamstring) and Trent Taylor (undisclosed) are on IR, and Jauan Jennings (shoulder/ankle) missed Week 3. With that being said, even if Turner gets elevated again Week 4, he probably won't see much (if any) work on offense.

Martinez reverted to San Francisco's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Martinez served as the 49ers' backup quarterback Sunday but didn't see the field despite Mac Jones aggravating a knee injury during the team's 16-15 win over the Cardinals. Brock Purdy (shoulder/toe) is expected to return to practice this week in a limited capacity and could make his return against the Jaguars in Week 4. Martinez could be elevated to the 49ers' active roster for a third consecutive week depending on the health of Purdy and Jones.
