Season so far
With only a single game played in the 2026 season, it is too early to evaluate any long-term trajectory, but Malcolm Roach has started on a solid note. He turned in a 72.3 overall mark across 61 graded snaps in his Week 3 debut against the Rams. The primary driver of his performance was a strong 81.3 run defense grade, highlighted by an interior tackle for loss and consistent pursuit to shut down zone runs. Roach supplemented his run stopping by disrupting the passing game with a quarterback hit on Matthew Stafford and a batted screen pass. Because he has only logged this one outing, there is no established week-to-week trend yet.
