Kyler Fackrell: Linebacker, Green Bay Packers
Fackrell played backup at linebacker in the Packers’ win over the Denver Broncos, 27-16, and logged a solo tackle in the first quarter on Denver’s running back.
Tyler Larsen: Center, Carolina Panthers
Larsen played backup at center for the Panthers in their win over the Arizona Cardinals, 38-20. The line performed well in protection of a rookie quarterback getting his first start. They allowed two sacks but facilitated 173 rushing yards.
Dallin Leavitt: Safety, Oakland Raiders
Leavitt did not record stats but suited up in the Raiders’ loss to the Minnesota Vikings, 34-14.
Devante Mays: Running Back, Jacksonville Jaguars
Mays did not play last week and hasn’t played this season. His status change, however, as he cleared waivers and entered the injured reserve for an ankle injury.
Donald Penn: Offensive Tackle, Washington Redskins
Penn played backup at offensive tackle in the Redskins Monday Night Football loss to the Chicago Bears, 31-15. The line performed poorly, allowing four sacks and facilitating only 69 rushing yards.
Patrick Scales: Long Snapper, Chicago Bears
Scales started at long snapper for the Bear in their win over Washington. The Bears punted three times, averaging just over 46 yards per punt.
Darwin Thompson: Running Back, Kansas City Chiefs
Thompson got the lead role for a drive in the fourth quarter of the Chiefs’ win over the Baltimore Ravens, 33-26. The rookie running back carried the ball on four consecutive plays. The first was an eight-yard carry for a first down. Thompson then carried for no gain, then a two-yard gain, and ended with a two-yard loss.
Nick Vigil: Linebacker, Cincinnati Bengals
Despite the inability of the Bengals offense to show up, Vigil had a solid day on defense. The fourth-year linebacker notched five total tackles, four of them solo, and delivered two hits on Buffalo’s quarterback.
Bobby Wagner: Linebacker, Seattle Seahawks
Wagner was all over the field in the Seahawks loss to the New Orleans Saints, 33-27. The veteran linebacker recorded 18 tackles, four solo, and 0.5 tackles for a loss. It unfortunately wasn’t enough as multiple mistakes on offense turned into easy points for the Saints.
