Franklin tallied four tackles (two solo) during Indianapolis' loss versus the 49ers on Monday.

Franklin had a quiet outing during the loss, as he failed to record at least five tackles for just the third time this season. The 29-year-old will look to bounce back and return to his usual level of production during the Week 17 matchup against the Jaguars.

Chinn registered seven tackles (three solo) during the Raiders' 23-21 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Chinn was working through a back issue during Week 16 prep, but it didn't appear to bother him, as he was able to play every defensive snap while finishing tied for the third-most tackles on the Raiders behind Devin White (11) and Elandon Roberts (eight). Chinn is up to 114 combined tackles through 15 regular-season games and is just three stops shy from matching a career high that he set with the Panthers in 2020 and the Commanders in 2024. He'll have an opportunity to create a new career high in tackles this Sunday against the Giants.

Schwesinger tallied 14 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in a Week 16 loss to Buffalo on Sunday.

Schwesinger dealt with an ankle issue during the week but was on the field for all 50 of Cleveland's defensive snaps Sunday. The injury didn't impact his performance, as the talented rookie racked up a career-high 14 stops for the second straight week. Among his tackles was a third-down sack of Josh Allen in the fourth quarter that forced a Buffalo punt. Schwesinger is up to 147 stops, including 2.5 sacks, on the campaign. He also has three defensed passes, including two interceptions.

Cross logged six tackles (three solo) in Indianapolis' loss to the 49ers on Monday.

Cross finished tied for second on the team in tackles behind Camryn Bynum's seven (five solo). The 2022 third-round pick has now racked up at least five tackles in 14 of his 15 appearances and will look to keep producing during the Week 17 matchup versus Jacksonville.

White logged 11 tackles (seven solo) and one pass defense during the Raiders' 23-21 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

White was one of four Raider defenders to play all 65 defensive snaps while leading the team in tackles. The veteran linebacker has posted double-digit stops in eight out of 15 regular-season games, including in six of eight games since the Raiders' Week 8 bye. He's up to a career-high 160 combined tackles on the year -- second most in the NFL behind Jordyn Brooks (169) -- and White will look to add to his total this Sunday against the Giants.

Bynum recorded seven tackles (five solo) and an interception during Indianapolis' loss to the 49ers on Monday.

Bynum had a strong performance despite the loss, leading the team in tackles while recording the team's only interception of Brock Purdy. The 27-year-old has now compiled 72 tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a career-high four interceptions across 15 games played.

Hunter finished Sunday's 23-21 victory versus Las Vegas with three tackles, including 1.0 sacks.

Hunter's sack came midway through the fourth quarter, when he brought down Geno Smith for a nine-yard loss. It was the second straight game with a sack for the veteran linebacker and pushed him up to 13.0 sacks on the season. That's tied for third in the NFL behind only Myles Garrett (22) and Brian Burns (15).

Tuipulotu registered four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery during the Chargers' 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Tuipulotu got to Dak Prescott for a six-yard sack on the final play of the first half, and the former scooped up his first fumble of the season late in the fourth. Tuipulotu has accumulated 5.0 sacks across the four games since the Chargers' Week 12 bye, and his 13.0 sacks (across 15 regular-season games) are tied with Danielle Hunter for third most in the NFL behind Myles Garrett (22.0) and Brian Burns (15.0). Tuipulotu will look to add to his total against the Texans on Saturday, who are dealing with injuries to starting offensive tackles Aireontae Ersery (hand) and Trent Brown (knee).

Dodson logged eight tackles (five solo) during Miami's loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Dodson finished second on the team in tackles behind Jordyn Brooks' 14 (nine solo) during the loss. The 27-year-old has already compiled a career-best 116 tackles (68 solo), including 4.0 sacks, and one interception across 14 outings, and he'll look to keep producing during the Week 17 matchup versus Tampa Bay.

Anderson tallied two tackles, including 1.0 sacks, against Las Vegas in a 23-21 Week 16 win Sunday.

Anderson's sack came late in the second quarter and resulted in a nine-yard loss. It pushed him up to 11.5 sacks on the campaign, surpassing his previous regular-season career high of 11.0 sacks, which he established last year. Anderson had gone a season-high three games without a sack prior to taking down Geno Smith in the backfield Sunday.
