- Jason Avant and Philly Brown switched places this week. Avant saw 43 snaps, while Brown had 12. It was 52-26 in favor of the rookie against the Steelers. Avant had two receptions in both games, while Brown followed up his seven-catch performance with just two against the Ravens.
- Darrin Reaves jumped from five snaps in Week 3 to 43 in Baltimore. Even if Jonathan Stewart can make it back this week (wouldn’t expect DeAngelo Williams to play at this point), Reaves should get another hefty chunk of work against the Bears.
- Ed Dickson’s first four weeks: 101 snaps, one target, no receptions.
- Fernando Velasco continues to start and platoon with rookie Trai Turner at right guard.
- Brenton Bersin is averaging just over 10 snaps per game. He’s had one reception in each of his three games.
- David Foucault quietly made his NFL debut Sunday. Canada rejoices.

- Chase Blackburn was listed as the starter for Thomas Davis, but A.J. Klein’s 62 snaps showed who took Davis’s spot.
- Since nickel corner Bené Benwikere wasn’t needed as much against the Ravens, Blackburn was still on the field for 40 snaps.
- Steve Smith put Melvin White’s starting job in jeopardy. After receiving just 27 defensive snaps during the first three weeks, Josh Norman got 44 after White was benched.
- Charles Godfrey saw a season-low three plays.
- Mario Addison was on the field for 23 defensive snaps, his fewest since Week 1 (when Greg Hardy played).
- Kony Ealy, who was inactive in Week 1, has two tackles, no sacks and 76 snaps this season.
