Joseph-Day recorded 41 tackles (22 solo) with 2.0 sacks and a recovered fumble across 17 games in 2025.

Joseph-Day has never provided much as a pass rusher, but he's served as a solid run stuffer. That continued in 2025, as he was credited with 28 run stuffs by PFF and was charged with only a 9.1 percent missed tackle rate -- his best mark since 2020. Joseph-Day will become a free agent this offseason, and he should land a new deal, whether in Tennessee or elsewhere.

Barton recorded 81 tackles (37 solo) with 1.0 sacks and three interceptions across 17 games in 2025.

Barton signed a significant three-year deal with the Titans prior to the 2025 season with the idea that he'd lead the linebacker corps. However, Cedric Gray instead emerged into that role, while Barton disappointed. He was fairly effective in coverage --his three picks were a career high -- but he struggled in run defense and logged his lowest tackle total since 2021, when he played primarily on special teams.

Reed brought in four of seven targets for 43 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 14 yards in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday.

Reed tied Matthew Golden for second in receptions and Christian Watson for the same slotting in targets for the Packers on the night. The versatile Reed added an 18-yard touchdown reception just past the halfway point of the second quarter, and although he did have an ill-timed drop early in Green Bay's final drive, he atoned with a personal game-long 20-yard grab later in the possession. Reed appeared in just seven regular-season games in the 2025 campaign due to an assortment of injuries, the most serious being a broken collarbone. He compiled a 19-207-1 line on 22 targets while rushing three times for 28 yards and recording 21 punt-return yards. Reed will head into the final year of his current contract in 2026 and should be in line for a key role in the air attack once more.

Golden brought in four of five targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday.

The speedy rookie put together an inconsistent debut campaign, but he was a key part of the Packers' success in his first career postseason game. Golden finished tied for second in catches and as the runner-up in receiving yards as well for Green Bay on the night, and he flashed with a 36-yard reception and a 23-yard touchdown grab that came with under seven minutes remaining in the contest. Golden finished the 2025 regular season with a 29-361-0 line on 44 targets, a 10-49-0 tally on the ground and 28 punt-return yards across 14 games. Considering Romeo Doubs is a candidate to leave via unrestricted free agency this offseason, Golden should be primed for a busy and more productive second season.

Odunze brought in two of six targets for 44 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday.

Making his return from a five-game absence due to a foot injury to close out the regular season, Odunze finished second in both receiving yards and targets among Chicago's wideouts on the night. The second-year pro delivered noteworthy gains of 17 and 27 yards on his pair of grabs, making it an encouraging performance following the month-plus layoff. Odunze's conditioning and stamina should take another step forward during the forthcoming practice week ahead of next weekend's divisional-round clash.

Swift rushed 13 times for 54 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 38 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday.

The veteran running back put together a solid workmanlike effort that featured a long run of just eight yards but also consisted of several productive gains and a five-yard touchdown rush with just over 10 minutes remaining. Swift was also efficient on both of his catches, and he outpaced backfield mate Kyle Monangai on the ground by five carries and 27 yards. Swift should remain the leader of the ground attack in the Bears' next playoff challenge, which will come next weekend in the divisional round.

Bears head coach Ben Johnson said that Trapilo suffered a patellar injury in Saturday's 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers and won't be available for the remainder of the postseason, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Trapilo managed both a knee and quadriceps issue over the past two weeks and missed Week 18 against Detroit, but he was able to suit up Saturday. However, he was hurt in the second half, and his injury will prevent him from playing again in the postseason regardless of how far the Bears advance. Theo Benedet entered at left tackle after Trapilo's departure and seems likely to start for Chicago next weekend in the divisional round.

Doubs brought in eight of 11 targets for 124 yards and a touchdown while also recovering a fumble in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday.

Doubs easily led the Packers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, and he hauled in one of Jordan Love's four touchdown passes from one yard out on the first play following the two-minute warning in the second quarter. The veteran wideout also had a key 34-yard reception on a fourth-quarter drive that would have likely sealed a win for the Packers had it not ended in a Brandon McManus missed field goal with 2:56 remaining. Doubs put together another solid regular season as well, compiling a 55-724-6 line on 85 targets and recording a career-high 12 receptions of 20-plus yards while adding 94 punt-return yards across 16 games. He's slated to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year.

Bears head coach Ben Johnson said after Saturday's 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers that Edwards sustained a fractured fibula during the contest, and the linebacker isn't expected to play again during Chicago's postseason run, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Edwards was carted off the field with an air cast on his leg after suffering the injury during the first half of Saturday's game. Considering the nature of the issue, it's no surprise that he'll almost certainly be unable to return to action no matter how far Chicago advances in the playoffs. With Noah Sewell (Achilles) landing on injured list in late December and also done for the campaign, the Bears will likely turn to D'Marco Jackson or Amen Ogbongbemiga to serve as their primary defensive signal-caller for the rest of the postseason.

Moore secured six of seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-5 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday.

Moore paced the Bears' wideouts in receptions and receiving yards while tying Luther Burden for the lead in targets on the night. The veteran also made up for a drop earlier in Chicago's game-winning drive by hauling in a 25-yard scoring strike from Caleb Williams that would prove to be the game-winning touchdown. Moore should continue playing an integral role in next weekend's divisional-round clash.
