Baltimore Ravens

John Simon (LB) (2009-12)- Active in week 9 for the Ravens in their loss to the Cleveland Browns. Simon did not see the field and his playing time has been sporadic all year.

Cincinnati Bengals

Mike Nugent (K) (2001-04)- Converted 2/2 on field goals with a long of 54 yards and went 2/2 on PAT’s as well. The Bengals lost to the Dolphins in overtime on Thursday night.

Dane Sanzenbacher (WR) (2007-10)- Didn’t record any statistics but was targeted once in week 9. AJ Green was targeted 19 times which can a big reason why.

Houston Texans

Devier Posey (WR) (2008-11)- Recorded 3 receptions for 23 yards in the Texans week 9 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. His long for the game was 12 yards.

Indianapolis Colts

Daniel “Boom” Herron (RB) (2008-09, 2011)- Recorded 1 total tackle on special teams for the Colts in week 9. Herron’s role on this team is going to be on special teams unless the Colts sustain some more injuries in the backfield.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Mike Brewster (C) (2008-11)- Was inactive in week 9 due to Jacksonville’s bye week. They will resume action in week 10.

Denver Broncos

Justin Boren (G) (2009-10)- Was inactive in week 9 due to Denver’s bye week. They will resume action in week 10.

Miami Dolphins

Brian Hartline (WR) (2006-08)- Recorded 3 receptions for 39 yards in week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was targeted the second most amount of times on the team behind Mike Wallace.

Austin Spitler (LB) (2006-09)- Didn’t record any statistics in week 9 for the Dolphins.

New England Patriots

Nate Ebner (DB) (2008-11)-Recorded 2 total tackles in the Patriots week 9 blowout victory over the Steelers. Ebner continues to see a lot of playing time on special teams.

New York Jets

Santonio Holmes (WR) (2003-05)- Holmes is still nursing an injured hamstring and didn’t play yet again in week 9. The Jets have just one more game until their bye week and they’ve considered shutting Holmes down through the bye week.

Nick Mangold (C) (2002-05)- Started at Center for the Jets in week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. While the Jet’s offense was outgained by the Saints, they managed to make the big plays down the stretch. Mangold helped lead the Jets to 5.8 yards per play.

Oakland Raiders

Terrelle Pryor (QB) (2008-10)- Went 22-for-41 for 288 yards, zero touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Pryor did rush for 94 yards but the Raiders were run over by the Eagles in week 9. The defense certainly didn’t bail Pryor and the offense out.

Chimdi Chekwa (CB) (2007-10)- Recorded 2 total tackles for the Raiders in week 9. Chekwa hasn’t thrown up many stats this season so this was a good site to see. The Raiders were absolutely run over by the Eagles offense yielding 7 touchdowns passes to QB Nick Foles.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Cameron Heyward (DE) (2007-10)- Recorded 5 total tackles, 1 sack and 1 tackle for loss. Heyward also recorded 2 QB hits on Tom Brady. While Heyward had a good statistical game, the Steelers defense was manhandled and gave up over 600 total yards.

Mike Adams (OT) (2008-11)- Started at tackle again for the Steelers against the Patriots. Helped the Steelers offense gain over 6.5 yards per play.

Will Allen (SS) (2000-03)- Allen was picked up by the Steelers a few weeks after the Cowboys cut him. He didn’t record any statistics or playing time in week 9, but with his history on the Steelers, he certainly will in the coming weeks.

Carolina Panthers

Ted Ginn Jr. (WR) (2004-2006)-Recorded 1 reception for 10 yards in the Panthers victory over the Falcons in week 9. For whatever reason, Ginn was not as involved as he has been in the passing game.

Ben Hartsock (TE) (1999-03)- Didn’t record any statistics for the Panthers in week 9. Hartsock played well but just doesn’t get the receiving opportunities fellow TE Greg Olsen gets.

Detroit Lions

Rob Sims (OL) (2002-05)- The Detroit Lions had a bye in week 9. They will resume play in week 10.

Green Bay Packers

A.J. Hawk (LB) (2002-05)- Recorded 8 total tackles in the Packers Monday night loss to the Bears. Hawk was the team’s second leading tackler.

Ryan Pickett (DT) (1998-00)-Recorded 2 total tackles for the Packers in their Monday night loss. Pickett continues to eat up blockers in the middle for guys like Hawk to run around free.

Jake Stoneburner (TE/WR) (2009-12)- Was active but didn’t record any statistics in week 9.

New Orleans Saints

Malcolm Jenkins (CB) (2005-08)- Was inactive against the New York Jets in week 9 due to a leg injury. He will look to return in week 10 against the Cowboys.

Will Smith (DE) (2000-03)- Placed on injured reserve (IR) for the remainder of the year. Smith injured his ACL back in August.

New York Giants

Jim Cordle (C) (2007-09)- The New York Giants enjoyed their bye in week 9. They will continue their play in week 10.

Philadelphia Eagles

Kurt Coleman (DB) (2006-09)- Recorded 4 total tackles in the Eagles week 9 victory over the Raiders. Coleman saw some snaps on special teams and in the secondary. Some of the playing time may be contributed to the lopsided victory the Eagles enjoyed.

Washington Redskins

Doug Worthington (DE) (2007-09)- Has been placed on the IR (bicep) for the remainder of the year.

St. Louis Rams

James Laurinaitis (LB) (2005-09)- Recorded 9 total tackles and 1 sack for the Rams in their week 9 loss to the Titans. Laurinaitis played in every defensive snap for the Rams. As usual, he was the defensive leader for the Rams.

Jake McQuaide (LS) (2008-10)- Starting long snapper for the Rams in Week 9.

San Francisco 49ers

Donte Whitner (DB) (2003-05)- The 49ers enjoyed a bye in week 9. They will continue play against Carolina next week.
