Bullard finished Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears with 10 tackles (five solo) and one pass defense.

Bullard entered Saturday's game having logged five tackles or less in each of his past seven games, but he reached double-digit tackles for the first time during the overtime loss and finished as the Packers' second-leading tackler behind Quay Walker (14). Bullard is now up to 76 combined tackles through 15 regular-season games and has a shot at surpassing his total from his rookie campaign (90 tackles across 15 regular-season games). He'll look to add to his tackling total against the Ravens in Week 17.

Walker registered 14 tackles (five solo), including one tackle for a loss, and one pass defense during the Packers' 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears on Saturday.

Walker was one of six Packer defenders to play all 64 defensive snaps, and his 14 tackles tied a season high that he set in Week 3 against the Browns. Walker has posted at least nine stops in three consecutive games and is up to 116 combined tackles through 13 regular-season games, which puts him within striking distance of his career high that he set in his rookie year in 2022 (121 tackles across 17 regular-season games). Walker could surpass his career high as soon as Saturday against the Ravens, who could be without superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson (back).

Tuimoloau (oblique) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the 49ers.

Tuimoloau sustained the injury while on kick coverage early in the second quarter. The rookie second-rounder has worked on both special teams and defense this season, so his absence would result in more defensive snaps being available for Samson Ebukam and Tyquan Lewis.

Cager reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Cager was brought up by the Commanders to add depth at tight end due to the absence of Colson Yankoff (ankle), though the former played just one snap on offense during Saturday's loss to the Eagles. It was Cager's first appearance of the 2025 regular season, and he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad twice more this season.

Jenkins reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jenkins was elevated to the Eagles' practice squad for Saturday's 29-18 win over the Commanders, when he played 18 snaps (six on offense, 12 on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise. He's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad once more this season, which could come as soon as Week 17 against the Bills.

Sauls reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

After waiving Younghoe Koo on Tuesday, the Giants turned to Sauls to serve as the starting kicker against the Vikings on Sunday, when he made both of his field-goal attempts from 27 and 39 yards while nailing his lone point-after try. Sauls will likely be elevated to the Giants' active roster ahead of their Week 17 tilt against the Raiders.

Wease reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

The undrafted rookie out of Missouri was called up from the practice squad and made his NFL regular-season debut during Sunday's loss against the Bengals. He ended up playing 21 of 59 offensive snaps (35.6 percent) and finished with two catches (on four targets) for 32 yards, with both of his receptions occurring inside the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. Wease's increased workload on offense came after Dee Eskridge was removed from Sunday's game in the third quarter due to a toe injury. Wease would be a top candidate to be elevated to the Dolphins' active roster for this Sunday against the Buccaneers if Eskridge is unable to play.

Bortolini (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the 49ers.

Danny Pinter will remain at center for the rest of Monday's game. Now that he's in the league's concussion protocol, Bortolini is in jeopardy of being sidelined for the Colts' Week 17 home tilt against the Jaguars this Sunday.

Matavao reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Matavao logged 21 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Jets but played behind all four of Juwan Johnson, Taysom Hill, Foster Moreau (ankle) and Jack Stoll. Matavao didn't draw a single target against New York.

Ricci reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Ricci played 24 snaps (14 on offense, 10 on special teams) during the Lions' 29-24 loss to the Steelers on Sunday, but he did not show up on the box score otherwise. He's been elevated from the practice squad twice this season, and he's eligible to be called up once more over the final two games of the regular season.
