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.
Bye Weeks: Los Angeles, Miami, New York (Giants), Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Baltimore
Last week elite IDP DB Reshad Jones was lost for the season and the Dolphins chose to give his strong safety role to Isa Abdul-Quddus and use Michael Thomas as the deep centerfield free safety. Abdul-Quddus missed 16 snaps last week but it was due to a minor ankle injury, not a rotation or benching of any sort.
