Solid in blowout win
Byard recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 35-16 win against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Byard's pass breakup probably saved a touchdown, and he now has at least six tackles in each of his last five games. He's on pace for the third 100-tackle season of his career heading into the Bears' bye in Week 7.

Picks off pass
Byard intercepted a pass and tallied six tackles in the Bears' 36-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Byard has recorded at least six tackles in each of his last four games, though he's gone over seven stops just once. He remains a high-floor IDP option.

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.

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.

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.

Big game in defeat
Byard tallied 11 tackles (seven solo) in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Byard tied Tremaine Edmunds for the team lead in tackles 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 stops in the season opener.

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.

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 2023, Byard signed with the Bears on 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…read more

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 the Titans and Eagles last season, the veteran recorded a career-high 122 tackles in 16 regular-season games. Heading into his age-31 season in 2024 and having averaged over 100 tackles since 2020, Byard should be in line to continue piling up solid tackle totals, making him a valuable IDP option.

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…read more

Being released by Eagles
Philadelphia plans to release 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.

Records career-high 122 tackles
Byard finished the year with career highs in tackles (122) and solo tackles (80) in 16 regular-season games.
Analysis: Byard began the year with the Titans before being traded to the Eagles. Despite playing only 10 games for Philadelphia, Byard finished fourth on the team in tackles, recording 75 after the move.

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.

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.

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.

Debut likely against Commanders
Byard is likely to play Sunday against the Commanders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Byard was just 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.

Dealt to Philadelphia
The Eagles acquired Byard on Monday in exchange 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. Assuming he's able to quickly pick up the Eagles' defensive concepts, Byard should start alongside Reed Blankenship (ribs) or Syndey Brown at safety during this Sunday's game against Washington. Through his six games with the Titans this season, Byard recorded 47 tackles and one fumble recovery.

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.

Posts nine stops Week 6
Byard recorded nine tackles (three solo) in a loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Compiles 12 tackles in win
Byard recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-24 overtime 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 season if he maintains this level of production for 17 games.

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 likely to be the case again in 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 compiled 108 tackles, six pass deflections and four interceptions while playing in all 17 of Tennessee's contests last season.

Remains key contributor
Byard finished the 2022 season with 108 tackles, four interceptions and an additional two defensed passes across 17 games.
Analysis: Byard remained a stalwart in the Titans' secondary this past season, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 regular season.
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.
