Sherwood recorded seven tackles (three solo) in the Jets' 42-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Sherwood played all 66 defensive snaps against New England, and the fifth-year linebacker now has 147 tackles (68 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a career-high eight pass breakups across 16 games (15 starts) this season. Sherwood needs 12 tackles in Week 18 against Buffalo to set a new single-season career-high after he recorded 158 tackles last season.

Hunt logged seven tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, during the Eagles' 13-12 win over the Bills on Sunday.

Hunt finished Sunday's game tied for the third-most tackles on the Eagles and was responsible for two of the team's five sacks on Josh Allen, including a 19-yard takedown early in the fourth quarter that took the Bills out of field-goal range. It was the second time this season that Hunt logged at least 2.0 sacks in a game, and the second-year linebacker is up to 50 tackles (26 solo), including 6.5 sacks, two interceptions (including a pick-six) and two forced fumbles through 16 regular-season games.

Lloyd recorded five tackles (one solo) and one pass breakup in the Jaguars' win over the Colts on Sunday.

Lloyd's 90 percent snap rate against Indianapolis was his highest in a game since playing 96 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 10 against Houston. The 27-year-old linebacker has recorded 76 tackles (33 solo), including 1.5 sacks, seven pass breakups, including five interceptions, one fumble recovery and one defensive touchdown on 74 percent of the snaps across 14 appearances this season.

Reddick (head) was not listed on Tuesday's practice report, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Reddick left late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Dolphins to be evaluated for a possible concussion. He did not meet the criteria to enter the league's concussion protocol, which puts him on track to play against the Panthers on Saturday. Reddick has accumulated 13 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble over his last five games.

The Buccaneers listed Mayfield as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to knee and right shoulder injuries, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Mayfield had notably been listed with a left shoulder injury on Buccaneers injury reports from Weeks 13 through 15, but he's now contending with an issue to his throwing shoulder along with his knee coming out of this past Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins. With the Bucs needing a win to have any hope of claiming the NFC South title, Mayfield isn't expected to be in any real danger of missing Saturday's matchup with the Panthers, but the pair of injuries will cast further doubt on the quarterback's chances of returning to his early-season form. During Tampa Bay's current four-game losing streak, Mayfield is averaging just 222.5 passing yards per contest and has thrown for six touchdowns while turning the ball over six times (five interceptions, one lost fumble).

Hunt (biceps) was estimated to be a full participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Hunt was a limited participant throughout Week 17 and ended up unable to play in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. The upgrade to full participation to start Week 18 bodes well for the offensive guard, and his status for Saturday's divisional clash with the Buccaneers will likely depend on his participation level in the Panthers' next two practices. If Hunt is unable to return from injured reserve for the contest, expect Austin Corbett to continue to start at right guard.

Oluokun recorded 12 tackles (four solo) in the Jaguars' win over the Colts on Sunday.

Oluokun's dozen tackles were his second-most in a game this season, and he's now recorded double-digit tackles in six of 16 appearances. The 30-year-old linebacker has now logged 134 tackles (65 solo), including 1.0 sacks, a career-high 10 pass breakups, including one interception, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery on 95 percent of the defensive snaps.

Cherelus (calf) did not participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Kaye observed that Cherelus was present in the facility for Tuesday's session but was only seen watching in a walking boot. The linebacker's presence around preparations for Saturday's divisional game with the Buccaneers should be a positive sign for his availability, but he will need to get on the field in one of the next two practices if he hopes to dodge an injury designation and suit up for Week 18.

White recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Las Vegas' loss to the Giants on Sunday.

White has started all 16 games this season and has posted a career-high 168 tackles (92 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass breakups, including one interception, and one forced fumble on 100 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps. Among linebackers, only Bobby Wagner (1,068) has logged more defensive snaps than White's 1,061 through Week 17. Only Jordyn Brooks (174) has recorded more tackles.

Wharton (hamstring) was estimated to be a full participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Wharton logging a full estimated practice ahead of Saturday's divisional showdown is a huge step up from the defensive tackle's participation in prior weeks. The 27-year-old is on pace to play in his first game since Week 14, and he has two more opportunities to show consistent reps before Saturday's contest.
