Jaylen McCollough DB | LAR
Rams' Jaylen McCollough: Dealing with hip injury
McCollough (hip) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Falcons.
McCollough suffered a hip injury in the first half, and his status for the remainder of the game is now up in the air. The 25-year-old's absence makes the Rams rather thin in the secondary with Josh Wallace (ankle) already unavailable, per Stu Jackson of the team's official site.

Nick Emmanwori SAF | SEA
Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Three takedowns in win
Emmanwori recorded three total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 27-10 victory over the Panthers.
Emmanwori and the Seahawks defense were only on the field for 53 total plays, so the rookie and many of his teammates had limited production. The 21-year-old has now registered 74 total tackles (52 solo), including 2.5 sacks, while also adding 11 passes defensed, one of which is an interception, over 13 contests this year.

Antoine Winfield Jr. SAF | TB
Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Registers seven stops vs. Miami
Winfield logged seven tackles (two solo) during the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Winfield was one of three Tampa Bay defenders to play all 55 defensive snaps and co-led the team in tackles with SirVocea Dennis. It was the sixth time this season that Winfield has logged at least seven stops in a game. He's up to 90 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, and Week 18 against the Panthers presents his final opportunity to crack the tackling century mark for the second time in his six-year NFL career.

Ernest Jones LB | SEA
Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Modest production in Week 17
Jones recorded five total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 27-10 win over Carolina.
Jones had his four-game streak of reaching at least 10 tackles snapped, but he still finished one stop short of the team lead in Week 17. The linebacker has now compiled 121 total tackles (58 solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also adding seven passes defensed, five of which are interceptions, and a defensive touchdown over 14 contests this season.

Julian Love SAF | SEA
Seahawks' Julian Love: Secures interception in win
Love recorded six total tackles (five solo) and an interception in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.
Love was able to finish tied for the team lead in takedowns with safety Ty Okada and linebacker DeMarcus Lawrence. Additionally, he jumped in front of a pass from Bryce Young in the third quarter for his first interception of the year. Love is now up to 34 total tackles (23 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding six passes defensed, one of which was Sunday's interception, over seven contests this season.

Mike Ford DB | ATL
Falcons' Mike Ford: Questionable to return Monday
Ford (ankle) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest versus the Rams, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Ford suffered an ankle injury in the first half, and his status for the rest of the night is now in question. His absence doesn't carry much of a defensive impact for Atlanta, given that he's served exclusively on special teams this season.

Noah Fant TE | NO
Bengals' Noah Fant: One target in win over Cardinals
Fant was held without a catch on one target in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, while playing 16 offensive snaps.
Fant has been playing through an ankle injury, and he's taken a back seat to Mike Gesicki on passing downs. He hasn't had a multi-catch game since Week 11 against the Steelers.

Mitchell Tinsley WR | CIN
Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Blanked again
Tinsley was not targeted in Sunday's blowout win over the Cardinals. He played 22 offensive snaps.
Tinsley has dropped back down in the pecking order now that Tee Higgins and Mike Gesicki are both healthy and commanding more targets.

Blake Corum RB | LAR
Rams' Blake Corum: Sustains ankle injury
Corum went to the locker room during the second quarter of Monday's game against the Falcons due to a right ankle injury and is questionable to return, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Corum limped to the sideline following a two-yard carry late in the second quarter and was evaluated by medical staff on the sideline before leaving the field. Kyren Williams will take on an even larger role in Corum's absence, and Ronnie Rivers should be in the mix for backfield snaps if Corum is unable to return.

Tahj Brooks RB | CIN
Bengals' Tahj Brooks: Three mop-up carries
Brooks carried the ball three times for 10 yards and had one catch for nine yards late in the Bengals' win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Brooks didn't come into the game until late, with Joe Flacco at the helm and the Bengals protecting a four-score lead. He's had scant work all season as the Bengals' third running back.
