Armstead managed two combined tackles in San Francisco’s 17-11 victory over the Eagles.

Troy Dye - Linebacker, Minnesota Vikings

Royce Freeman - Running Back, Carolina Panthers
Freeman made his debut in the Carolina offense, but did not register any statistics in the Panthers’ 26-7 win over New Orleans.
Justin Herbert - Quarterback, Los Angeles Chargers
A bittersweet day for JH in the Chargers’ heart-breaking 20-17 loss to Dallas. Herbert went 31 for 41 for 338 yards and a touchdown— but threw two costly picks, including one in the end zone. He also ran the ball four times for 12 yards. Herbert and the Chargers found themselves the victims of a pair of dubious penalties, one of which wiped what would have been the go-ahead touchdown off the board in the third quarter. Despite the loss, our man found himself in some rather rarified company:
Justin Herbert has tied Patrick Mahomes and Dan Marino for the most games with at least 300 passing yards by a player in his first two seasons in NFL history. #BoltUp pic.twitter.com/okwNrcu9Ls

That's the most of any QB this season and only Patrick Mahomes had more yards called back in a game last year (Wk 5 vs Raiders | 84 yards)
This throw from Justin Herbert… #BoltUp

Adams had a game to forget in Montreal’s 27-18 loss to BC on Saturday, completing only 16 of 36 passes for 270 with no touchdowns, two INTs, and a fumble. He also ran the ball seven times for 44 yards, a stout 6.3 yards per carry.
