Barton tallied seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers.

Barton played just 21 defensive snaps in Week 1 against the Seahawks. He nearly doubled that total in Week 2 with 40 defensive snaps (along with 10 on special teams), and the 2019 third-round pick finished second on the Broncos in tackles Sunday behind fellow starting inside linebacker Alex Singleton. Barton has registered 100-plus tackles in each of the last two seasons, and he'll look to make it three years in a row as the Broncos travel to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers in Week 3.

Singleton finished Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers with 11 tackles (seven solo).

Singleton was the Broncos' leading tackler Sunday. He leads Denver with 20 tackles through two games, and he ranks ninth in the NFL in that category. Singleton is well on his way to recording his fifth-straight season of 100-plus tackles, and he'll continue that quest against Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers in Week 3.

Carter (ankle) was a full participant at practice Tuesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Carter played through a lingering ankle injury during the first two weeks of the season, but it appears the issue is bothering him less as of recently. He could be in line for an expanded role in Week 3 versus the Patriots if D.J. Reed (knee) can't go.

Andrews (hip) was listed as a limited participant on the Patriots' estimated injury report Tuesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Andrews was estimated as a DNP for Monday, and his upgrade to limited Tuesday bodes well for his chances of suiting up against the Jets on Thursday. Andrews has started at center in 119 regular-season games for the Patriots since signing as an undrafted free agent with New England in 2015.

Watt tallied three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended during the Steelers' 13-6 win over the Broncos.

Watt has logged sacks in back-to-back games to start the 2024 season. He got to Bo Nix on an eight-yard sack late in the second quarter, and the Broncos turned the ball over on downs two plays later. Watt led the league with 19.0 sacks last season, and he'll look add to his total in Week 3 against the Chargers.

Highsmith recorded four solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos.

Highsmith recorded his first sack of the year Sunday. He got to Bo Nix for a seven-yard loss late in the first quarter, which forced the Broncos to punt and eventually led to a five-yard touchdown pass from Justin Fields to Darnell Washington. Highsmith registered a career-high 14.5 sacks in 2022, but he has accrued 8.0 sacks over the 19 regular-season games since. He'll look to add to that total in Week 3 against Justin Herbert and the Chargers.

Fitzpatrick totaled seven tackles (five solo) during the Steelers' 13-6 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Fitzpatrick was the second-leading scorer for the Steelers on Sunday behind strong safety DeShon Elliott, and the duo played a large part in limiting the Broncos to just nine points and zero touchdowns. Fitzpatrick has recorded 14 tackles through the first two games of the season, which has him on pace to break 100 tackles for the second time in his eight-year NFL career. The 2018 first-round pick will have his hands full against the Chargers' receiving corps in Week 3.

Elliott registered nine tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos.

Elliott was the leading tackler for the Steelers on Sunday and he played a big role in limiting the Broncos to just 295 total yards. Elliott signed with the Steelers in March to strengthen the secondary alongside free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and corners Donte Jackson and Joey Porter. Elliott and the Steelers will travel back to Pittsburgh to host Justin Herbert and the Chargers in Week 3.

Tranquill registered seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.

Tranquill tied with Nick Bolton and Justin Reid for the most tackles on the Chiefs on Sunday. Tranquill played just 48 of the Chiefs' 64 defensive snaps, but the 2019 fourth-round pick remains a key piece to Kansas City's run defense. Tranquill will have his hands full against running back Bijan Robinson and the Falcons in Week 3.

Conner finished Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals with six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and returned a fumble for a 38-yard touchdown.

Conner played just 29 of the Chiefs' 64 defensive snaps Sunday, but the 2023 fourth-round pick made the most of his playing time. He scooped up a Joe Burrow fumble caused by Tershawn Wharton and returned it for a 38-yard touchdown on the second play of the fourth quarter to give the Chiefs a one-point lead. Conner made another high-impact play late in the fourth frame, when he sacked Burrow for nine yards on third down, which led to a Bengals punt and the eventual game-winning 51-yard field goal from Harrison Butker as time expired. Conner should see plenty of work in pass coverage against Kirk Cousins and the Falcons in Week 3.
