  • Julius Wood DB | MIA

    Julius Wood: Suspension lifted

    Wood's suspension was officially ended by the NFL on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Wood was suspended six games last December for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances policy. He served out the first five games of his suspension at the end of last season, then finished off the penalty with Week 1 of the current campaign having passed. Wood was released by the Titans in August, so he'll need to seek out work now that he's no longer under suspension.

  • Tai Felton WR | MIN

    Vikings' Tai Felton: Plays exclusively on special teams

    Felton did not play a single offensive snap in Monday's 27-24 win over the Bears.

    Felton played 19 snaps with the Vikings' special teams unit but didn't see any usage in Minnesota's offense. The rookie wideout is behind teammates Justin Jefferson, Jalen Nailor and Adam Thielen in the wide receiver pecking order, so Felton faces an uphill battle for playing time outside of his role on special teams. Seeing rotational snaps at receiver will become even more difficult when teammate Jordan Addison returns from his three-game suspension. Felton should be ignored for fantasy purposes when the Vikings host the Falcons in Week 2.

  • Tim Jones WR | JAC

    Tim Jones: Back on Minnesota's practice squad

    Jones reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Jones was elevated for Week 1 against Chicago and saw most of his work on special teams, logging 14 snaps with that unit versus three on offense. He didn't see any targets during his brief time lining up as a wideout. Jones could continue to get elevated for gameday while Jordan Addison serves out the remainder of his three-game suspension.

  • Panthers' Christian Rozeboom: Notches eight stops Week 1

    Rozeboom registered eight tackles (seven solo) Sunday in a loss to the Jaguars.

    Rozeboom's eight stops were good for second on Carolina. That output was in line with his production last season, when he averaged 7.9 tackles over 17 regular-season games with the Rams. Rozeboom finished last year with a career-best 135 stops, then signed a one-year deal with the Panthers in mid-March.

  • Cedric Gray LB | TEN

    Titans' Cedric Gray: Records eight tackles in loss

    Gray recorded eight tackles (five solo) in the Titans' loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

    Gray started alongside Cody Barton in the middle of the Tennessee defense and finished one tackle behind Barton for the team lead. While Barton played all 76 defensive snaps, Gray was in on 62 and played another 11 on special teams. Gray appears to have a firm hold on the job over James Williams, who was limited to just 25 special-teams snaps.

  • Saints' Cameron Jordan: Posts 1.5 sacks in opener

    Jordan tallied three tackles, including 1.5 sacks, along with a defensed pass Sunday in a Week 1 loss to the Cardinals.

    Jordan was able to get to the quarterback twice in the defeat, first logging a solo sack of Kyler Murray on the third snap of the game and later logging a split sack in the third period. Jordan posted a modest 4.0 sacks over 17 contests last year, but he's tallied as many as 15.5 sacks in a campaign (in 2019).

  • Titans' Jarvis Brownlee: Piles up nine tackles in loss

    Brownlee recorded nine tackles (six solo) in the Titans' loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

    Brownlee started at outside cornerback opposite L'Jarius Sneed and played 75 of 76 defensive snaps, tying Cody Barton for the team lead in tackles. Brownlee held his own in coverage and played strong run defense, and figures to hold down one of the starting cornerback spots this season after Tennessee did little to address the positional needs in the offseason.

  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Records seven stops Week 1

    McKinstry posted seven tackles (five solo) and a defensed pass in a loss to Arizona on Sunday.

    McKinstry finished tied for third on Arizona with his seven stops, one of which went for a loss. The second-year cornerback broke up six passes as a rookie last season while recording 42 tackles over 15 games. He moved into a starting role late in the second half of the campaign and has held onto that status to begin the 2025 season, as he played all 66 of New Orleans' defensive snaps Sunday.

  • Juan Thornhill SAF | JAC

    Steelers' Juan Thornhill: Records eight tackles in victory

    Thornhill recorded eight tackles (four solo) and one fumble recovery in the Steelers' win over the Jets on Sunday.

    While Thornhill didn't start the game, he did play 84 percent of the defensive snaps. With DeShon Elliott suffering a knee injury that already has him ruled out for Week 2 against Seattle, both Thornhill and Chuck Clark should see elevated playing time on the back end of Pittsburgh's defense.

  • Chuck Clark SAF | DET

    Steelers' Chuck Clark: Logs eight tackles in win

    Clark recorded eight tackles (six solo) in the Steelers' win over the Jets on Sunday.

    One of Clark's tackles went for a loss, as he wrapped up Justin Fields behind the line of scrimmage on a third-and-three designed run in the fourth quarter to force a punt. Clark played just 50 percent of the defensive snaps but figures to have an every-down role in Week 2 after DeShon Elliott suffered a knee injury against New York. Elliott has already been ruled out for Pittsburgh's upcoming date with the Seahawks.
