Lassiter (foot) was a non-participant in practice Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lassiter has been dealing with a foot injury throughout December, but the issue hasn't caused him to sit out any games. He's missed the first day of practice each of the past four weeks, so Tuesday's DNP shouldn't be particularly alarming. Unless Lassiter suffered a setback during Sunday's win over Las Vegas, he seems likely to play Saturday versus the Chargers.

Williams tallied nine tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Tennessee's win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams benefited from increased playing time with Cedric Gray out with a concussion and turned in his best performance of the campaign, leading the team in tackles in addition to recording his first sack. The 22-year-old should get another start at linebacker should Gray remain sidelined for the Week 17 matchup versus the Saints.

James logged six tackles (five solo) and a forced fumble during the Chargers' 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

James caused a turnover for a second consecutive week, when he knocked the ball out of the hands of a scrambling Joe Milton, which Tuli Tuipulotu jumped on to give the Chargers the ball at midfield. James has logged 16 combined tackles over his last two outings, and the veteran safety is up to 86 tackles (46 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and six pass defenses (two interceptions) across 15 regular-season games. He'll have two more games to reach the tackling century mark for the fifth time in his NFL career beginning this Saturday against the Texans.

Carter recorded two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Giants loss versus Minnesota on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Carter produced one of the team's four sacks during the loss. The rookie first-round pick got off to a slow start this season but has been on a hot streak as of late, logging one sack in each of his last three outings after failing to tally one across the first 12 weeks of the campaign.

Smith racked up 10 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's Week 16 loss to New England.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was a tackling machine, as usual, leading Baltimore in stops and logging double-digit tackles for the fifth straight game. The veteran linebacker is up to 124 tackles on the campaign, which is tied for 11th in the NFL despite the fact that Smith missed two games earlier in the season.

Belton tallied four tackles (three solo) during the Giants' loss to Minnesota on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Belton had a solid outing in the loss despite playing just 64 percent of the team's defensive snaps. The 25-year-old has now compiled 100 tackles in a season for the first time in his career and will look to keep producing during the Week 17 matchup versus the Raiders.

Simpson totaled seven tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, in a 28-24 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Simpson finished third on the Ravens in tackles after moving into a starting role in the wake of Teddye Buchanan landing on IR due to a season-ending torn ACL. Among Simpson's stops was a solo sack of Drake Maye in the first quarter. Simpson should continue to start in the Ravens' final two regular-season games, and he'll look to build upon his 2.5 sacks on the season, which is already a career-high mark.

Burns logged four tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, during the Giants' loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Burns had been struggling as of late, failing to record a sack across his previous three outings but he delivered a bounce-back performance during the loss, forcing a J.J. McCarthy fumble that Tyler Nubin ran back for a touchdown. The 27-year-old is having the best season of his career, having already compiled a personal-best 15.0 sacks and will look to add to his totals across the team's final two games of the season.

Humphrey recorded six tackles (all solo) and two defensed passes, including an interception, Sunday in a loss to New England.

EDGE Analysis

Humphrey made a big play early in the game when he intercepted Drake Maye after the Patriots had entered the red zone. It was the second straight game that the veteran cornerback has notched a pickoff after logging one across his first 11 contests of the campaign. Humphrey also posted six stops Sunday, tying his second-highest total in a game this season.

Nubin recorded six tackles (four solo) and returned a fumble for a touchdown in the Giants' loss versus the Vikings on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Nubin found the end zone for the first time in his career when he returned a J.J. McCarthy fumble for a touchdown late in the second quarter of the loss. The 2024 second-round pick will look to build on this performance and keep producing at a high level across the team's final two games of the season.
