Rotowire
Fuller racked up eight tackles (four solo) and one pass defensed during Sunday's 32-26 win over New York.
Fuller, in his return from a three-game absence due to a concussion suffered Week 10, played 98 percent of defensive snaps and put together his most productive game of the season in terms of tackling.

Fuller (concussion) was a full participant in Friday's practice and carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets.
Fuller is on track to return from a three-game absence due to a concussion he suffered in Week 10 against the Rams. Fuller should reclaim his starting spot at outside corner opposite Jalen Ramsey while Ethan Bonner and Storm Duck revert to rotational roles. Fuller has tallied 33 tackles (23 solo), five pass defenses and one fumble recovery over eight regular-season games.
