Logs two sacks in win
Tuipulotu recorded six tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, during the Chargers' win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: Tuipulotu had a dominant outing in the victory, logging two of the team's five sacks of Geno Smith. The 23-year-old is having the best season of his young career, racking up 36 tackles (25 solo), including a career-high 10.0 sacks, across just 12 games played.

Gets to quarterback Thursday
Tuipulotu recorded three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Thursday's 37-10 win versus the Vikings.
Analysis: Minnesota quarterback Carson Wentz was sacked five times in Week 8, and Tuipulotu got in on the action in the second half for his sixth sack of the season, beating left tackle Justin Skule with a swim move. He should get some chances to pin his ears back again in Week 9 against a pass-happy Tennessee offense.

Silent in Sunday's loss
Tuipulotu did not record any stats in 48 defensive snaps and two special teams snaps during Sunday's 27-10 loss versus the Commanders.
Analysis: Fresh off a game against the Giants in which he piled up four sacks, Tuipulotu was invisible in Week 5, failing to record a tackle for the first time this season. He'll look to bounce back in a Week 6 matchup against a pass-happy Miami team.

Constantly in backfield
Tuipulotu recorded 10 tackles (seven solo), including 4.0 sacks, and forced a fumble in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Tuipulotu logged a career-high 10 tackles, with his previous career best being seven. He was also constantly in the backfield, taking down Jaxson Dart four times in his first career start under center. Tuipulotu has improved in every season as a pro and could be on his way to his first double-digit sack campaign.

Improved production in second year
Tuipulotu played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 42 tackles (26 solo), including 8.5 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble.
Analysis: Tuipulotu's tackling numbers took a slight dip in his sophomore season, but he did log a team-high 8.5 sacks while rotating with fellow edge rushers Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack and Bud Dupree. Tuipulotu would be in line to see an increased role in 2025 if Mack opts to retire or take his talents elsewhere.

Sacks Maye in Week 17
Tuipulotu registered three solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, during the Chargers' 40-7 win over the Patriots on Saturday.
Analysis: Tuipulotu was responsible for the first of four Chargers sacks Saturday when he got to Drake Maye for a two-yard loss early in the first quarter that forced the Patriots to punt on the next play. Tuipulotu is now up to 8.5 sacks, and the 2023 second-round pick has a chance to reach double digits during the Chargers' regular-season finale against the Raiders next Sunday.

Extends sack streak to four games
Tuipulotu logged five tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 34-27 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Tuipulotu combined with safety Derwin James for a four-yard sack on Joe Burrow late in the first quarter. Tuipulotu then did it all himself early in the second quarter, taking Burrow down for a three-yard loss which forced the Bengals to punt the ball away on the next play. Tuipulotu is now up to 7.0 sacks on the year, all of which have come over the Chargers' last four games. He'll look to continue his momentum into Week 12 against the Ravens and the elusive Lamar Jackson.

Records two sacks in win
Tuipulotu finished with five tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Titans.
Analysis: The starting outside linebacker also played on 82 percent of the defensive snaps. Tuipulotu has 28 tackles (17 solo), including 5.5 sacks, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in 2024.

Monster performance vs. Browns
Tuipulotu recorded six total tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Browns.
Analysis: The second-year pro from USC has begun to play ahead of Joey Bosa, recording 3.5 sacks and one pass defended across the Chargers' last two games. All of Tuipulotu's sacks have come in the last two weeks; however, he's expected to continue starting opposite Khalil Mack as part of the Chargers' top edge-rushing duo in Week 10 when Los Angeles hosts the Titans.

Solid building block next season
Tuipulotu compiled 53 tackles (37 solo), 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and one pass defensed in 17 games with the Chargers during the 2023 season.
Analysis: While the numbers might not reflect it, the 2023 second-round pick was easily one of the team's shining lights amid a difficult 5-12 season. Tuipulotu initially started the season as a rotational piece on the edge and quietly tallied four sacks in his first nine games, despite playing no more than 76 percent of the team's defensive snaps in all but two of those contests. The rookie settled into a full-time role after Joey Bosa (foot) was lost for the season beginning in Week 12, but Tuipulotu…read more

Will suit up for season finale
Tuipulotu (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 18 battle against Kansas City.
Analysis: Tuipulotu logged a pair of limited practice sessions to end Week 18 prep due to an ankle issue and entered the weekend deemed questionable to play, but he'll be able to participate in Los Angeles' final game of the campaign. The USC product has moved into a starting role in his first NFL season, and he ranks fourth on the Chargers with 4.5 sacks going into Sunday.

Questionable for Week 18
Tuipulotu (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City.
Analysis: Tuipulotu began Week 18 prep without any serious health concerns, but he popped up on the injury report with an ankle issue Thursday. The rookie was a limited practice participant for the second straight day Friday and will enter the weekend with a questionable designation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale. If Tuipulotu misses his first game of the season Sunday, Andrew Farmer could see more work in his place.

Tuipulotu recorded five tackles (three solo), including two sacks, in the Chargers' 27-6 win over the Jets on Monday Night Football.
Analysis: Tuipulotu had the best game of his young career Monday, bringing down Zach Wilson two times in the team's Week 9 victory. The linebacker has now registered 27 tackles, including four sacks, over the first eight contests of his NFL career.
