Below is your weekly breakdown of news, notes and injuries from the previous week to help with tough lineup decisions on the defensive side of the ball.
Week 4 Bye Weeks: Green Bay, Philadelphia
The three-headed ILB monster of Jake Ryan, Blake Martinez and Joe Thomas continues but it looks like Ryan is starting to take over as the lead dog. This early bye week works perfectly for Morgan Burnett who is still nursing a hamstring injury. The LB rotation in Philly is much more lopsided than the one in Green Bay as Nigel Bradham and Jordan Hicks once again led by overwhelming margin in snap counts yet Stephen Tulloch continues to siphon a few series at middle linebacker.
