Defensive Starters News Today

Dolphins lose Van Ginkel to Minnesota Vikings.

The Tennessee Titans will be starting Ryan Tannehill at quarterback with rookie Will Levis declared out for Sunday's game against Seattle. The Seahawks (7-7) are on the NFC playoff bubble going into Sunday's games, just a spot outside the seventh and final playoff spot.

Injuries have prevented Chicago's full first-team defense from taking the field since training camp began.
