Colts' Jaylon Carlies: Hauls in first career interception
Carlies (undisclosed) logged five tackles (three solo) and an interception during Sunday's 30-13 win over the Commanders in London.
Carlies set the Colts up in Commanders territory after picking off Athan Kaliakmanis early in the third quarter, leading to a five-yard rushing touchdown by Jonathan Taylor four plays later. Carlies picked up an undisclosed injury in the same period and was ruled out during the fourth quarter, so Wednesday's practice report will shed some light on his status ahead of the Colts' Week 5 road tilt against the Steelers.

Panthers' Akayleb Evans: Double-digit stops in win
Evans recorded 11 total tackles (nine solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday night's 32-26 win over the Lions.
Evans stepped into a starting role at cornerback after Mike Jackson (groin) and Jaycee Horn (quadriceps) were both placed on injured reserve. The 27-year-old led the team in takedowns, and he'll likely operate in a starting role again Week 6 against the Eagles.

Travis Hunter CB | JAC
Jaguars' Travis Hunter: Tallies four tackles in Week 4 win
Hunter logged four tackles (three solo) and two pass defenses during the Jaguars' 22-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
After snagging his first NFL interception against the Patriots in Week 3, Hunter demonstrated his defensive prowess in Week 4 with two pass defenses. Notably, for the first time this season, the 2025 second-overall pick did not play a single snap on offense. It appears the Jaguars are comfortable with rookie Josh Cameron serving as the depth wideout behind Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas, so Hunter's playing time figures to be limited to defense. Hunter has 13 tackles (nine solo) and four pass defenses (including one interception) through the first four games of the regular season.

DeJean has now compiled 23 total tackles (11 solo) and four passes defensed, including Sunday's interception, over four contests this year.
