EDGE Analysis
Byard joined Nicholas Morrow and Reed Blankenship as the three Eagles defenders who finished Sunday's game with double-digit tackles. Byard has played every single defensive snap since being traded to the Eagles on Oct. 23. In that span, he has 66 tackles (43 solo), three passes defended and one interception over nine games.

Byard recorded 13 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win versus Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Byard has tallied seven-plus total tackles in all of his last six games, but his performance in Week 12 was good enough for a season-high in that category. He's on pace for a career year and projects as a great IDP play in Week 13 when Philadelphia hosts the run-heavy 49ers.

Byard is active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Byard joined Philadelphia via a trade with Tennessee this past Monday, and he's been able to acquaint himself with the Eagles' playbook well enough to suit up six days later. The veteran safety should immediately slot into a starting role opposite Reed Blankenship in his Philadelphia debut. Byard was performing well with the Titans prior to the trade, tallying 47 tackles (30 solo) over six contests.

Byard is likely to play Sunday against the Commanders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Byard was acquired by the Eagles on Monday, but he reportedly had a strong week of practice and is likely to be active Sunday. Coach Nick Sirianni suggested Byard's snaps could be limited, so he may not make his typical statistical impact.

Tennessee traded Byard to the Eagles on Monday for Terrell Edmunds and 2024 fifth- and sixth-round draft picks, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Byard is on pace for a career year in 2023, and now he'll have a chance to compete for a championship with Philadelphia. He figures to start at safety for the Eagles in the near future, possibly as soon as in Week 8 at Washington.

Byard recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 24-16 loss to Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Byard compiled eight-plus tackles for the fourth time through six games in 2023, keeping himself on pace for a career year in that category. He's still looking for his first forced turnover of the campaign though, and his next chance will come in Week 8 versus Atlanta.

Byard recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Byard paced the Titans in Week 2, compiling 12 tackles for the first time since Week 9 of last season. The safety has recorded 20 takedowns over the first two contests of the year and could be in for a career year if he maintains this level of production for 17 games.

Byard recorded nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Byard found himself in the familiar position of pacing the Titans in tackles while also being on the field for every defensive snap. He's played a significant role in the Tennessee defense across the last six seasons and that looks to be the case again in 2023.

Byard and the Titans agreed on a reworked contract Friday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Byard's base salary for 2023 will drop from $14.1 million to $11 million with the opportunity to earn back the money in incentives. The freed-up cap space will allow the Titans to bring in wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who agreed on a deal with the team this past weekend. Byard has been a fixture in the team's secondary since 2016 and compiled 108 tackles, six pass deflections and four interceptions while playing in all 17 of Tennessee's contests last season.
