Cardinals' Kyzir White: Leads Cards with 11 tackles
Rotowire
White registered 11 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Bills.
White and Budda Baker each registered double-digit tackles Sunday, and the duo joined corner Sean Murphy-Bunting and strong safety Jalen Thompson as the only players to play all 58 defensive snaps for Arizona. White registered nine or more tackles in five of the Cardinals' first 11 regular-season games in 2023, but the 2018 fourth-round pick suffered a season-ending torn biceps injury in Week 11 against the Texans. White and the Cardinals will welcome in Matthew Stafford and the Rams for Week 2.

Cardinals' Kyzir White: Returns to action
Rotowire
White (biceps) took part in Arizona's first OTA Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
The linebacker tore his biceps Week 11 of last season and missed the last six games. Before going out with the injury, White recorded 90 tackles and three passes defensed. The Cardinals signed him to a two-year, $10 million contract in 2023, so White should be in line to start this year if he stays healthy.

Cardinals' Kyzir White: Officially placed on IR
Rotowire
White (biceps) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Darrin Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.
White suffered a torn biceps in Sunday's loss to the Texans, so this move was more of a formality. It will be a significant loss for Arizona's defense, as he was a captain and had played a team-high 709 defensive snaps. In his absence, Krys Barnes will presumably fill in at middle linebacker.

Cardinals' Kyzir White: Done for year with torn biceps
Rotowire
White suffered a torn biceps tendon in Sunday's loss to the Texans and will miss the remainder of the season, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.
White has played a team-high 709 defensive snaps this season as the captain of coach Jonathan Gannon's defense after following him over from the Eagles. White started all 11 games and was on pace for a career year with 90 tackles (53 solo), nine TFLs, two sacks, one interception and three pass breakups. Josh Woods is a candidate to take over as an every-down linebacker.

Cardinals' Kyzir White: Cards' leading tackler vs. Falcons
Rotowire
White recorded 11 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 25-23 win versus Atlanta.
In a game where the Falcons ran the ball 41 times, White was busy, and it showed in the box score. It was the third time this season White's managed a double-digit tackle total, putting him on pace for a career year in that category. The Cardinals will travel to take on a more balanced Houston offense in Week 11.

Cardinals' Kyzir White: Records eight tackles, sack Sunday
Rotowire
White recorded eight tackles (five solo) and one sack in the Cardinals' Week 6 loss to the Rams Sunday.

Cardinals' Kyzir White: Active in loss
Rotowire
White tallied 11 tackles (six solo) in the Cardinals' 34-20 loss to the Bengals in Week 5.
White's 11 tackles were his second highest total this season. He is now up to 48 (27 solo) through five games. More notably has been his reliability, as the linebacker has not missed a snap through five games, which means he was on the field for 79 snaps Sunday. He will now set his sights on Arizona's Week 6 matchup with the Rams.

Cardinals' Kyzir White: Leads team with nine tackles
Rotowire
White racked up nine tackles, including one for a loss, during Sunday's 20-16 defeat in Washington.
White was one of four Cardinals to log all 71 defensive snaps along with safety Budda Baker and cornerbacks Marco Wilson and Kei'Trel Clark, but White made the biggest mark in the box score, tackle-wise. Considering he followed coach Jonathan Gannon from Philadelphia to Arizona this offseason, White appears as if he'll be a weekly beneficiary of that relationship. And White is coming off back-to-back 100-tackle campaigns, meaning he's firmly in the IDP conversation in 2023.

Eagles' Kyzir White: Over 100 tackles again
Rotowire
White finished the regular season with 110 tackles, including 66 solo, as well as 1.5 sacks.
White's tackle total represents a step back from the 144 he managed in his final season as a Charger, but it was still a strong mark. He trailed only T.J. Edwards among his Eagles teammates and tied for 39th in the league.

Eagles' Kyzir White: Tallies eight tackles in loss
Rotowire
White recorded eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 32-21 loss to the Commanders.
White showed up early in this upset loss, as seven of his eight total tackles came in the first half against Washington. The 26-year-old now has 63 tackles (37 solo) and four passes defended this season, and he currently sits behind fellow linebacker T.J. Edwards as the Eagles' second-leading tackler through nine games. Expect White to continue playing a prominent role against Indianapolis this coming Sunday.

Chargers' Kyzir White: Massive breakout season
Rotowire
White finished the 2021 season with 144 tackles (90 solo), three passes defended, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and a sack across 17 games.
The 2018 fourth-round pick blossomed in his first full year as the starting middle linebacker as he racked up the eighth-most tackles and solo tackles in the entire league. Always known as an excellent coverage linebacker, White quietly pushed out 2020 first-round pick Kenneth Murray as the team's top linebacker by Week 6 and never looked back. The Chargers' porous run defense might mean changes could be on the horizon for the front seven, but the fourth-year linebacker should be a key fixture next season provided the team opts to bring back the upcoming unrestricted free agent.

Chargers' Kyzir White: Double-digit tackles once again
Rotowire
White tallied 10 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.

Chargers' Kyzir White: Leads team in tackles
Rotowire
White recorded seven tackles (five solo) across 43 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Falcons.
White missed the past three games after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but made an immediate impact in his return to the field -- leading the team in tackles Sunday.

Chargers' Kyzir White: First career sack
Rotowire
White recorded seven tackles (two solo) and split a sack during Sunday's 39-29 win against the Jaguars.
White managed to split his first career sack with defensive end Isaac Rochell during the fourth quarter. While this was certainly a nice moment, it was surprising to see Kenneth Murray play all 100 percent of the defensive snaps, with White only registering 81, and what's worse, Sunday was the first time White did not register double-digit tackles since Week 2. The two have essentially flip-flopped the respective snap counts throughout the season, although both have been a critical factor in the improving Chargers defense. For now, the 24-year-old remains a consistently solid IDP asset.

Chargers' Kyzir White: Another solid tackling day
Rotowire
White tallied 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Panthers.
It was White, not Kenneth Murray, who once again played nearly 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps, cementing the coverage linebacker as a clear option for IDP users even in shallower formats. A suspect run defense as of late could force the Chargers to reconfigure their starting lineup, but those changes likely won't impact White, who appears locked in as the team's preferred three-down linebacker.
