Greg Rousseau LB | BUF
Bills' Greg Rousseau: Dominant in season opener
Rousseau logged four tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Buffalo's win over the Texans on Sunday.
Rousseau was dominant in the season opener, racking up two of the Bills' three sacks of C.J. Stroud. His four solo tackles were also tied for the third most on the team. The 2021 first-round pick will look to build off this strong performance and keep producing during the Week 2 matchup versus Detroit on Thursday.

Ben VanSumeren RB | KC
Ben VanSumeren: Back with practice squad
VanSumeren reverted back to the practice squad with Kansas City on Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
VanSumeren was elevated to the active roster ahead of Monday night's 31-10 win over the Broncos, and he logged three snaps on offense. The fullback was also on the field for 22 snaps with the special-teams unit, securing two tackles, one of which was on kick coverage and the other on punt coverage. VanSumeren can be elevated two more times before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

Terrel Bernard LB | BUF
Bills' Terrel Bernard: Limited in consecutive sessions
Bernard (calf) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Bernard was estimated as a limited participant Monday, following up that session with another limited practice when the Bills were back on the field Tuesday. The linebacker played every defensive snap in the team's 36-31 victory over the Texans last Sunday, proving he will play through the calf injury as long as it is managed. The defensive captain had 12 total tackles and a fumble recovery, and will likely suit up against the Lions in Thursday night's home opener.

Miller Moss QB | CHI
Miller Moss: Reverts to Chicago's practice squad
Moss reverted to the Bears' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Moss was inactive for the Bears' 59-37 win over the Panthers last Sunday. The quarterback was elevated to the active roster as the emergency third quarterback if Tyson Bagent (back) was unable to fulfill the role due to injury. Bagent ended up recovering enough from his back injury to be listed as the No. 3 quarterback, and Moss was just inactive for the game.

Cyrus Allen WR | KC
Chiefs' Cyrus Allen: No production in regular-season debut
Allen did not catch his only target during Monday night's 31-10 win over Denver.
Allen played only one snap on offense, failing to build on his preseason momentum. The wide receiver was also on the field for four snaps on special teams. Allen appears to be the No. 4 wideout behind Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton ahead of the team's matchup with the Colts in Week 2.

Landon Dickerson G | PHI
Eagles' Landon Dickerson: Placed on injured reserve
The Eagles placed Dickerson (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Chris McPherson of the team's official site reports.
Dickerson injured his knee in the Eagles' 24-22 win over the Commanders last Sunday. The left guard will now need to miss at least four games before he can return to the active roster from IR. Willie Lampkin is set to be the starting left guard while Dickerson recovers.

Aidan Hutchinson DE | DET
Lions' Aidan Hutchinson: Sacks Shough twice in Week 1 OT win
Hutchinson recorded five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Detroit's 31-30 overtime win over New Orleans on Sunday.
Hutchinson tallied 6.0 sacks over the Lions' final four games of the 2025 regular season, and the fifth-year defensive end picked up where he left off Sunday. He took down Tyler Shough for an eight-yard loss late in the second quarter to force a fourth down, and Hutchinson added another sack for 10 yards on the Saints' quarterback late in the fourth frame. It was the 10th time in Hutchinson's career that he recorded at least 2.0 sacks in a game, but he'll have his hands full Thursday keeping Bills' superstar QB Josh Allen in check.

Derrick Barnes LB | DET
Lions' Derrick Barnes: Big impact in Week 1 win
Barnes recorded six tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses (including an interception) during the Lions' 31-30 overtime win over the Saints on Tuesday.
Although Barnes wasn't listed as a starter on defense, his 77 defensive snaps were second-most among that position behind only Jack Campbell (90). Barnes set the tone for Detroit right out of halftime, diving in front of a Tyler Shough pass intended for Noah Fant to set the Lions up in Saints territory, leading to a one-yard touchdown run by Jahmyr Gibbs seven plays later. Barnes added a six-yard sack on the Saints' next offensive drive, and the sixth-year pro is off to a terrific start to the 2026 campaign. The Lions' defense will certainly be tested on a short week, hitting the road to take on the Bills on Thursday.

Brandon Jones SAF | DEN
Broncos' Brandon Jones: Gets a pick in loss
Jones recorded five tackles (one solo) and an interception during Monday's 31-10 loss at Kansas City.
With the Chiefs backed up near their own goal line in the third quarter, Jones found himself at the right place at the right time on an overthrown ball over the middle by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, setting up a Broncos field goal. He'll be looking to keep up the momentum come Week 2 versus the Jaguars.

Aaron Donald DE | LAR
Rams' Aaron Donald: Realistic chance to play in Week 2
Donald has a "very, very realistic chance" to play versus the Giants in Week 2, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Donald isn't a lock to play against New York on Monday night, but it appears there is a good chance the 35-year-old will suit up for his first NFL game since January 2024. The future Hall of Famer has appeared in 154 regular-season games during his career, accumulating 542 total tackles, 111.0 sacks, 24 forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries. Donald is also a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, eight-time All-Pro and 10-time Pro Bowler, among other accomplishments.
