Weekly rows describe the supplied week, not a dated transaction. Observed dates show when a record was checked, not when a contract or roster move took effect. Conflicting records remain separate. Only retained observations are shown; game-day status belongs to the availability report.
Statistics by season
UPDATEDUpdated Oct 5, 2026, 7:49 am EDT
Regular-season records. Totals use each recorded season once, even when team splits and a combined row are both shown. Rates are recalculated from the counted totals. A dash means a value is missing or cannot be calculated reliably; these records do not establish complete career coverage. The current-season row is as of the update time above and can differ from the season statistics section, which adds up box scores through the latest recorded final.

Josh Hayes tells family to go get theirs, posts way up, labels a new profile picture, says really think about this, and calls a 6-pound-13-ounce baby his greatest creation.
Todd Bowles put the Pro Bowl safety's absence at two to four weeks, which takes him out of Thursday night's game in Dallas as Tampa Bay tries to avoid an 0–5 start.
The third-year linebacker had a sack and an interception before going down untouched in the third quarter, and Green Bay now turns to Isaiah McDuffie and Ty'Ron Hopper ahead of the Bears' visit.
Todd Bowles named the undrafted quarterback his Week 5 starter after a 17–14 loss to Green Bay, with Baker Mayfield’s dislocated thumb still keeping him out.
