Another fine game in win

ANALYSIS
After Friday's contest, Byard now has at least six tackles in six of his last nine games. He's doing enough to keep up a near every-down role at safety, but his per-snap production has lagged compared to last season, keeping him off the IDP radar in most formats.
Nov 25, 2025
Post six tackles vs. Pittsburgh

ANALYSIS

Byard logged 67 defensive snaps in Week 9 against the Bengals, contributing five solo tackles to the Bears victory. The 32-year-old's stint on the injury report was short, popping up Wednesday and being cleared Friday as he looks to once again be an every-down contributor for this Bears defense.
Nov 6, 2025
Upgrades to limited practice
Byard (back/ankle) was limited in practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Byard sat out Wednesday's practice entirely, so it's encouraging to see the starting safety now taking limited reps Thursday. If Byard can participate fully on Friday, he'll have a good chance of avoiding an injury designation entirely for Sunday's matchup against the Giants. He's been an every-down contributor on defense through eight regular-season appearances.
Nov 5, 2025
Misses practice Wednesday
Byard (back) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Byard appears to be dealing with an apparent back injury, which he may have suffered in the team's Week 9 win over the Bengals, a game in which he compiled five solo tackles. The safety will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Giants.

Fourth pick of season
Byard notched two tackles and intercepted a pass in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.
ANALYSIS

Oct 14, 2025
Six tackles vs. Washington

ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS
Not only did Byard match his season-high of seven tackles that he posted last week, but the safety now has three interceptions over the last two games. Byard is on fire now, and it may be wise to keep him in IDP lineups until he cools off.

Big game in victory

ANALYSIS
Byard has averaged 4.5 tackles over Chicago's first two games before posting a strong performance against Dallas. Last year, the veteran posted at least six stops in all but three games. It's possible that Byard can build on this game and become a higher-floor IDP.
Sep 9, 2025
Makes five solo tackles Monday

ANALYSIS
Byard picked up more or less where he left off last season, putting up good numbers despite a very slow-paced game in Week 1. He and the entire Bears defense project to see a lot of looks against the run when they travel to take on Detroit in Week 2.
Jan 6, 2025
Career year at age 30

ANALYSIS
In his ninth season in the NFL, Byard posted 130 tackles and 2.0 sacks. That said, the saefty has recorded at least 108 stops in four of the last five campaigns. Byard is going into the last year of his contract with the Bears, and he should remain an excellent IDP.
Dec 6, 2024
Good to go Sunday vs. Niners
Byard (shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Byard injured his shoulder during the Bears' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Lions, though he managed to rack up 10 tackles (five solo) and one pass defense while playing every single defensive snap. He was limited in the first two practices this week, but he finished strong with a full showing Friday and will be good to go Sunday. In the six games since the Bears' Week 7 bye, Byard totaled 55 tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one fumble recovery.
Dec 4, 2024
Dealing with shoulder issue
Byard (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Byard appears to have picked up a shoulder injury in the Bears' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Lions, despite playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps and recording 10 total tackles and one pass defended. The veteran safety's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in a Week 14 matchup against the 49ers.
Nov 28, 2024
Remains hot
Byard tallied 10 stops in the Bears' 23-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Byard has averaged nine tackles over the last four games after failing to surpass seven tackles in all but one game through Week 9. With a full month of strong tackle totals, the safety has turned into one of the top IDPs at defensive back.
Nov 24, 2024
Leads team in stops
Byard posted 13 tackles in the Bears' 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Byard has been putting up his best numbers of the season over the last three weeks. After the safety had one game with more than seven tackles through Week 9, Byard is averaging nine stops over the last three games. The veteran should be considered an elite IDP until he shows regression over multiple weeks.
Nov 17, 2024
Big tackle numbers
Byard tallied nine stops in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
After recording between five and seven tackles in six consecutive games, Byard has 20 tackles over the last two games. This is the first time all season the safety has stacked big games together. Although it's possible this recent level of production continues, it may still be wise to view Byard as a solid floor IDP with upside.
Nov 10, 2024
Double-digit tackles in loss
Byard recorded 11 tackles in the Bears' 19-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Byard had posted between five and seven stops in each of Chicago's previous six games before his big game against the Patriots. Expect the safety to continue functioning as a high-floor IDP with occasional upside games.

Oct 6, 2024
Picks off pass
Byard intercepted a pass and tallied six tackles in the Bears' 36-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Sep 29, 2024
Active versus Rams
Byard (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Byard was initially listed as questionable to suit up versus Los Angeles, but he's managed to gain clearance for Week 4. The starting safety has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in each of Chicago's first three regular-season contests, recording 19 tackles (12 solo) and one fumble recovery in that span.
Sep 27, 2024
Listed questionable for Week 4
Byard (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Byard was a mid-week addition to the injury report Thursday, failing to practice that day, but he was upgraded to limited Friday and will head into Sunday's date as a question mark. The veteran safety has started all three games to open the season, recording 19 tackles (12 solo) and one fumble recovery on 100 percent of the defensive snaps.
Sep 26, 2024
Nursing back injury
Byard (back) did not participate in Thursday's practice session.
ANALYSIS
Byard was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, but he appears to have picked up a back injury. Friday's final report will provide further context regarding his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams. If Byard isn't able to suit up, Jonathan Owens figures to be the next man up as the starting free safety alongside strong safety Jaquan Brisker.
Sep 16, 2024
Big game in defeat
Byard tallied 11 stops in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Byard tied Tremaine Edmunds with the most tackles for the Bears against Houston. Over the last four seasons, Byard has posted at least 100 tackles, and this performance puts the safety on pace for that level of production after he recorded just two tackles in the season opener.
Sep 4, 2024
Returns to practice Wednesday
Byard (undisclosed) was not listed on Chicago's injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Byard was forced to miss practices for the first time in his NFL career due to what was diagnosed as a soft-tissue injury in mid-August. He appears to be fully healthy and ready to go for Week 1 against the Titans -- who drafted him in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft -- on Sunday.
Aug 20, 2024
Misses practice Monday
Byard did not participate in practice Monday due to a soft-tissue injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Biggs notes that it's the first time that Byard has missed practice due to injury in his career. Head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters Tuesday that the injury isn't serious, though Byard will unlikely play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chiefs. After being traded by the Titans to the Eagles in October last season, Byard signed with the Bears to a two-year, $15 million contract in March. The 2016 third-round pick will serve as Chicago's starting free safety and work alongside strong safety Jaquan Brisker (undisclosed) in the secondary.
Aug 6, 2024
In line to start at free safety
The Bears signed Byard to a two-year deal in March with the likely intention of replacing Eddie Jackson, whom the Bears released in February.
ANALYSIS
Between played with Titans and Eagles last season, The veteran recorded a career-high 122 tackles in 16 games. Heading into his age-31 season in 2024 and averaging over 100 tackles since 2020, Byard should be in line to continue piling up solid tackle totals, making him a valuable IDP option.
Mar 10, 2024
Finds work in Chicago
Byard and the Bears agreed Sunday on a two-year, $15 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
In Chicago, Byard should settle in as the team's starting free safety as a replacement for Eddie Jackson, whom the Bears released in February. Between stops with the Titans and Eagles last season, Byard recorded a career-high 122 tackles in 16 games, but the historically ball-hawking defensive back recorded just two turnovers (one interception, one fumble recovery). Heading into his age-31 season in 2024, Byard's best years are most likely behind him, but his addition should still help bolster a Bears secondary that was often leaky in 2023.
Mar 1, 2024
Being released by Eagles
Philadelphia is releasing Byard in a move that frees up over $13 million in cap space, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Byard joined the Eagles midway through the 2023 season via trade from the Titans, and he recorded a total career-high 122 tackles between the two teams. The veteran safety is still playing at an excellent level, but the cap savings made possible by his release for Philadelphia makes the move a no-brainer for the team. Byard should have no issue finding a starting role elsewhere in the league.
Jan 20, 2024
Records career-high 122 tackles
Byard finished the year with career highs in tackles (122) and solo tackles (80) in 16 regular-season games.

Jan 1, 2024
Double-digit tackles in loss
Byard had 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Byard joined Nicholas Morrow and Reed Blankenship as the three Eagles defenders who finished Sunday's game with double-digit tackles. Byard has played every single defensive snap since being traded to the Eagles on Oct. 23. In that span, he has 66 tackles (43 solo), three passes defended and one interception over nine games.
Nov 28, 2023
Leading tackler vs. Bills
Byard recorded 13 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win versus Buffalo.
ANALYSIS
Byard has tallied seven-plus total tackles in all of his last six games, but his performance in Week 12 was good enough for a season-high in that category. He's on pace for a career year and projects as a great IDP play in Week 13 when Philadelphia hosts the run-heavy 49ers.
Oct 29, 2023
Will suit up Sunday
Byard is active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against Washington.
ANALYSIS
Byard joined Philadelphia via a trade with Tennessee this past Monday, and he's been able to acquaint himself with the Eagles' playbook well enough to suit up six days later. The veteran safety should immediately slot into a starting role opposite Reed Blankenship in his Philadelphia debut. Byard was performing well with the Titans prior to the trade, tallying 47 tackles (30 solo) over six contests.
Oct 28, 2023
Debut likely against Commanders
Byard is likely to play Sunday against the Commanders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Byard was acquired by the Eagles on Monday, but he reportedly had a strong week of practice and is likely to be active Sunday. Coach Nick Sirianni suggested Byard's snaps could be limited, so he may not make his typical statistical impact.
Oct 23, 2023
Dealt to Philadelphia
Tennessee traded Byard to the Eagles on Monday for Terrell Edmunds and 2024 fifth and sixth round draft picks, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Byard is on pace for a career year in 2023, and now he'll have a chance to compete for a championship with Philadelphia. He figures to start at safety for the Eagles in the near future; possibly as soon as in Week 8 at Washington.
Oct 16, 2023
Racks up double-digit tackles
Byard recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 24-16 loss to Baltimore.
ANALYSIS
Byard compiled eight-plus tackles for the fourth time through six games in 2023, keeping himself on pace for a career year in that category. He's still looking for his first forced turnover of the campaign though, and his next chance will come in Week 8 versus Atlanta.
Oct 9, 2023
Posts nine stops Week 6
Byard recorded nine tackles (three solo) in a loss to the Colts on Sunday.
ANALYSIS

Sep 18, 2023
Compiles 12 tackles in win
Byard recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Byard paced the Titans in Week 2, compiling 12 tackles for the first time since Week 9 of last season. The safety has recorded 20 takedowns over the first two contests of the year and could be in for a career year if he maintains this level of production for 17 games.
Sep 11, 2023
Nine stops against Saints
Byard recorded nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Byard found himself in the familiar position of pacing the Titans in tackles while also being on the field for every defensive snap. He's played a significant role in the Tennessee defense across the last six seasons and that looks to be the case again in 2023.
Jul 21, 2023
Reworks deal with Tennessee
Byard and the Titans agreed on a reworked contract Friday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Byard's base salary for 2023 will drop from $14.1 million to $11 million with the opportunity to earn back the money in incentives. The freed up cap space will allow the Titans to bring in wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who agreed on a deal with the team this past weekend. Byard has been a fixture in the team's secondary since 2016 and he compiled 108 tackles, six pass deflections and four interceptions while playing in all 17 of Tennessee's contests last season.
Jan 12, 2023
Remains key contributor
Byard finished the 2022 season with 108 tackles, six passes defended and four interceptions across 17 games.
ANALYSIS
Byard remained a stalwart in the Titans' secondary, and he has yet to miss a game in his seven-season career. He's topped 1,000 defensive snaps in six of those campaigns and has picked off at least four passes on five occasions. Byard will enter 2023 with two years remaining on his contract with the Titans and figures to remain a key contributor.
Dec 27, 2022
Tallies eight stops in Week 16 loss
Byard recorded eight defensive tackles (five solo) and one tackle on special teams Saturday in a loss to the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Byard finished with his most stops since he logged 12 tackles against Kansas City in Week 9. The veteran safety needs just three more stops to record the second 100-tackle season of his seven-year career.
Dec 6, 2022
Logs seven tackles
Byard tallied seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS

Nov 29, 2022
Makes seven tackles
Byard recorded seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Byard's seven stops in Week 12 now gives him a respectable total of 73 on the season. The veteran safety continues to operate in an every-down role for the Titans this year, and he's more than likely to do so again this weekend against the Eagles.
Nov 18, 2022
Makes six stops
Byard recorded six tackles in Thursday's 27-17 win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Byard played 100 percent of defensive snaps for the seventh consecutive game. He's had a range of productivity in that span, logging anywhere between three and 12 tackles. Byard has a total of 66 stops, one pass defended and one interception across 10 contests on the campaign.
Nov 8, 2022
Comes away with 12 stops in loss
Byard collected 12 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Byard logged double-digit tackles for the first time since Tennessee's season-opening loss to the Giants. The two-time All-Pro also would have logged his second interception of the season were it not for a defensive offside penalty against Rashad Weaver in the first quarter. Byard now has 57 tackles (35 solo) and one interception through eight games in 2022, and he'll continue to play a prominent role against the pass and the run this Sunday against Denver.
Oct 11, 2022
Produces eight stops in win Sunday
Byard recorded eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 21-17 victory over the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
It was another solid effort from the All-Pro safety, as his eight stops Sunday versus Washington now gives him a total of 37 on the year. The Titans are one of four teams to kick off the first bye weekend in 2022, meaning Byard should enter next Sunday's contest against the Colts with both confidence and a fresh set of legs, after he played every defensive snap in Week 5.
Sep 27, 2022
Picks off first pass of season
Byard recorded four tackles and one interception during Sunday's 24-22 win over the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Byard didn't maintain his strong tackling numbers that he had through the first two games (19 stops), but he did record his first interception off a tipped pass by Darren Waller. The 2016 third-round pick has been a productive member of the Titans' secondary since he was drafted and appears on track to continue that in 2022.
Sep 21, 2022
Seven tackles in loss
Byard recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Monday's loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Byard has 19 tackles through two weeks and is on pace for another high-tackle campaign. He hasn't finished below 80 tackles since his rookie season, but the only time he's finished with over 100 was in 2020, when he notched 111 stops, seven pass defenses and one interception.
Sep 15, 2022
Starts year with double-digit stops
Byard notched 12 tackles (eight solo) during Week 1's 21-20 loss to the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Byard is off to a productive start in terms of fantasy production, though the All-Pro safety will face a tough task containing Josh Allen and the Bills on Monday Night Football in Week 2. While Byard shouldn't necessarily be expected to carry such high tackling upside on a weekly basis, he's a lock to retain a key role for Tennessee's defense and had five interceptions last season.
Jan 13, 2022
Ends season with five tackles
Byard recorded five tackles in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Byard was on the field for all of Tennessee's defensive snaps for the 12th time in 17 games this season. Though that didn't lead to a full stat line in the regular-season finale, he still ended the campaign with a team-leading 88 tackles. He also posted an impressive 13 passes defended and five interceptions across 17 games -- good for his highest totals since 2017. Byard should remain a key part of the Titans' defense for their upcoming playoff run as well as the 2022 season.
Dec 7, 2021
Activated from COVID-19 list
Byard was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Nov 30, 2021
Lands on reserve/COVID-19 list
Byard was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Byard is coming off a strong effort in the team's Week 12 loss to the Patriots, as he logged 12 tackles and recorded a sack. Depending on whether he tested positive or was just a close contact to an infected person, he may not miss any game action as the Titans head into their bye in Week 13.
Nov 9, 2021
Pick-six against Rams
Byard recorded three tackles and one interception in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Byard's primary contribution came early in the second quarter when he picked off Matthew Stafford and returned it 24 yards for a score.

Oct 14, 2021
Delivers huge Week 5 outing
Byard racked up 11 tackles (eight solo) to go with two pass breakups, an interception and a fumble recovery for a 30-yard touchdown Sunday in the Titans' 37-19 win over the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
The Titans held a comfortable lead against the hapless Jaguars for most of the day, which translated to a pass-happy script for Jacksonville that presented plenty of playmaking opportunities for Byard. He recorded his interception on the game's final play, making him the third player in franchise history to record at least 20 picks in his first 85 career games. Through five games, Byard has remained an IDP standout out of the secondary, recording 27 tackles to go with six pass breakups, two interceptions, a fumble recovery and a touchdown.
Oct 5, 2021
Active in secondary
Byard recorded six tackles and one pass defended in Sunday's loss to the Jets.

Jan 11, 2021
Paces Titans in tackles
Byard recorded 111 tackles, two tackles for loss, seven passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble across 16 games in the 2020 campaign.
ANALYSIS
Byard was a key member of the Titans' defense all season, remaining on the field for 100 percent of snaps in all but one contest. He racked up a career-best 111 tackles in the process, also pacing the team. On the other hand, his interceptions continue to slide, as his one pick was his lowest mark since his rookie campaign in 2016. Byard is locked in with the Titans on a long-term contract, making it very likely he remains with the team for the 2021 campaign.
Dec 21, 2020
Registers 10 tackles
Byard made 10 tackles (six solo), two pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 46-25 win over the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Byard notched a consecutive double-digit tackling effort, and he's reached a new career high of 97 tackles through 14 games. With seven pass breakups and an interception to boot, Byard has once again been a strong IDP contributor in 2020.
Dec 14, 2020
Leads way with 11 tackles
Byard recorded 11 tackles in the Titans' Week 14 win over Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Byard was the only Titan to reach double-digit tackles, and he recorded his highest mark of the season. He remained on the field for 100 percent of the defensive snaps, which he has now done in 11 of 13 contests. Byard will remain a key part of the Titans' defense in Week 15 against Detroit.
Nov 13, 2020
Season-high 10 tackles Thursday
Byard recorded 10 tackles (six solo) in Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Colts.
ANALYSIS
With Philip Rivers carving up Tennessee's secondary for 308 yards, Byard was busy racking up tackles on the back end. He set a new season high in tackles and now has 38 over the past five games. The physical safety will appreciate the extra few days to heal up before his team's Week 11 trip to Baltimore.
Oct 26, 2020
Posts six solo stops
Byard posted six solo tackles in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Byard has averaged 5.3 tackles per game and is on pace to tie the career-high 90 stops he posted two years ago, but he's had some variance in his numbers. In three games, he posted six or more solo tackles, but he notched two or fewer in the other three contests.
Sep 15, 2020
Leads team in stops
Byard recorded nine tackles and a pass breakup in Monday's 16-14 win over the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Byard played every defensive snap as expected en route to a team high in tackles. Nine stops would've been a regular-season high for the safety last season as well. The 27-year-old is instrumental to the Titans' secondary success, and the Titans restructured his deal before Monday's game to clear $6.12 million in cap space, although Byard will still make $9.1 million in 2020, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Look for him to keep it rolling against a Jaguars team that exceeded expectations in a season-opening win over the Colts.

Leads Titans with five picks
Byard recorded 84 tackles, five interceptions, nine passes defensed and two tackles for loss across 16 games with the Titans in 2019.
ANALYSIS
Byard's strong 2019 performance illustrated why the Titans made him the highest paid safety in the league prior to the season. He led the team with five interceptions, and now has 17 picks in his last three seasons. The elite ballhawk will look to continue to make a claim as one of the premier safeties around the league in the 2020 season.
