Russell Allen had another solid outing on Sunday, and is solidifying himself as one of the top tacklers in the league (Rick Wilson/Florida Times-Union)
LB Russell Allen, Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Cincinnati Bengals
The Jaguars fell to the Bengals, 27-10, but Allen continued to rack up an abundance of tackles. He led the team with eight total tackles, including five solo stops. He currently leads the team with 42 total tackles through four games, and is ranked fifth amongst all NFL players.
LB Antwan Applewhite, Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons
In a heated division match-up, the Panthers were defeated by the Falcons, 30-28. Unfortunately, Applewhite was inactive for the second straight week with a knee injury. He currently has two tackles on the season, and his status for next week is uncertain.
LS Aaron Brewer, Denver Broncos vs. Oakland Raiders
The Broncos dominated the divison-rival Raiders; so much so that they didn’t need a single punt in the 37-6 victory. Although he didn’t have any punts to snap for, Brewer continued to snap well on field goals. He yet to record a tackle this season, but has been solid with all his snaps.
WR Vincent Brown, San Diego Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The Chargers handled the Chiefs, 37-20, but Brown remains out with a broken ankle suffered in the preseason. He is expected to return midseason.
LB Miles Burris, Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos
Burris did not record any tackles in the blowout loss against the Broncos. However, he currently has 14 tackles on the season, and continues to start at weakside linebacker for the Raiders.
OT/OG Brandyn Dombrowski, San Diego Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Like Brown, Dombrowski remains on the injured-reserve list. He is suffering from a foot injury, and his return this season is uncertain.
LB Heath Farwell, Seattle Seahawks vs. St. Louis Rams
After the controversial Monday night win over Green Bay, the Seahawks failed to execute a successful encore performance and fell to the Rams, 19-13. The veteran Farwell is currently listed as the backup at middle linebacker, and has played a limited role this season. He had one tackle on Sunday, giving him four on the season.
RB Ronnie Hillman, Denver Broncos vs. Oakland Raiders
In the win over the Raiders, Hillman was finally given a chance to show his explosiveness and had two plays of 10-plus yards. He finished with 10 carries for 31 yards, highlighted by a 12-yard run. He also had two catches for 32 yards, including a 29-yard reception.
QB Ryan Lindley, Arizona Cardinals vs. Miami Dolphins
Lindley has yet to see action in a game, but his team has played very well. The Cardinals defeated the Dolphins in overtime, 30-27, and improved to 4-0. With Kevin Kolb playing well and John Skelton coming back from an ankle injury, it is uncertain if Lindley will see action this season.
OG Lance Louis, Chicago Bears vs. Dallas Cowboys
Louis played well in the national spotlight on Monday night, helping the Bears defeat the Cowboys, 34-10. Louis continues to start at right guard, and the Bears improved to 3-1.
LB Kirk Morrison, Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots
The Bills lost to the Patriots, 52-28, and Morrison continues to be a question mark. He was inactive on Sunday, and has yet to record any stats this season. The reason for his absence is uncertain.
WR Kassim Osgood, Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings
In another division battle, the Lions were defeated by the Vikings, 20-13. As usual, Osgood has been a contributor on special teams this season, but has yet to record a tackle.
WR Chaz Schilens, New York Jets vs. San Francisco 49ers
Sunday was a tough day for the Jets’ offense, as they were shutout by the 49ers, 34-0. The offense struggled to move the ball, but Schilens was still able to haul in three catches for 45 yards. He currently has six catches for 69 yards this season.
