Seahawks' Devon Witherspoon: Four stops in victory
Witherspoon recorded four total tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.
Witherspoon registered his fewest takedowns since Week 12, but it may have been the result of Seattle holding Carolina to just 53 offensive snaps in the contest. However, the cornerback was able to produce at least one pass defensed for the fourth time in six games. Witherspoon has now compiled 68 total tackles (45 solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also adding seven passes defensed, one of which is an interception, and a fumble recovery over 11 contests this year.

Brandon Dorlus DE | ATL
Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Done for night
Dorlus (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday night's contest against the Rams, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Dorlus recorded a sack of Matthew Stafford on the Rams' first offensive play of the second half before later suffering a left knee injury during the possession. The defensive lineman had to be helped off the field, and he was putting hardly any pressure on his left leg, per McElhaney. In his absence, Elijah Garcia is a top candidate to see an increased workload on the defensive line versus Los Angeles.

McCollough (hip) has returned to action Monday against Atlanta, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
McCollough was briefly sidelined with a hip issue, but he has now made his way to the field. The second-year pro will continue to play a depth role in the secondary with Los Angeles.

The linebacker is now up to 91 total tackles (45 solo), including 3.5 sacks, while also adding six passes defensed and a fumble recovery over 16 contests this year.

Jaylen McCollough DB | LAR
Rams' Jaylen McCollough: Dealing with hip injury
McCollough (hip) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Falcons.
McCollough suffered a hip injury in the first half, and his status for the remainder of the game is now up in the air. The 25-year-old's absence makes the Rams rather thin in the secondary with Josh Wallace (ankle) already unavailable, per Stu Jackson of the team's official site.

Nick Emmanwori SAF | SEA
Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Three takedowns in win
Emmanwori recorded three total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 27-10 victory over the Panthers.
Emmanwori and the Seahawks defense were only on the field for 53 total plays, so the rookie and many of his teammates had limited production. The 21-year-old has now registered 74 total tackles (52 solo), including 2.5 sacks, while also adding 11 passes defensed, one of which is an interception, over 13 contests this year.

Antoine Winfield Jr. SAF | TB
Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Registers seven stops vs. Miami
Winfield logged seven tackles (two solo) during the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Winfield was one of three Tampa Bay defenders to play all 55 defensive snaps and co-led the team in tackles with SirVocea Dennis. It was the sixth time this season that Winfield has logged at least seven stops in a game. He's up to 90 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, and Week 18 against the Panthers presents his final opportunity to crack the tackling century mark for the second time in his six-year NFL career.
