Quarterback 

Jake Luton (2017-19) - Jacksonville Jaguars - Third String

-> Luton didn't see action in Jacksonville's 28-14 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday.

Sean Mannion (2010-14) - Minnesota Vikings - Second String

Matt Moore (2005-06) - Kansas City Chiefs - Practice Squad

-> With Patrick Mahomes sitting because of the guaranteed one seed, Moore was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster Sunday but did not play in the 38-21 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Running Back 

Ryan Nall (2014-17) - Chicago Bears - Second/Third String

-> In Chicago's 35-16 loss to Green Bay, Nall saw action on 14 snaps but didn't record any statistics. The Bears will face New Orleans on Sunday.

Artavis Pierce (2016-19 - Chicago Bears - Fourth String

-> Against Green Bay, Pierce took one carry for minus-one yard. He played five other snaps but didn't record any stats. He'll face the Saints on Sunday.

Wide Receiver

Brandin Cooks (2011-13) - Houston Texans - First String

-> In Houston's 41-38 loss to Tennessee, Cooks exploded for 11 catches (16 targets), 166 yards, and two touchdowns. Additionally, he averaged 15.1 yards per catch and had a long reception of 38 on the day. No question Cooks established something in Houston with quarterback Deshaun Watson and that bodes well for next season and beyond. Depending on who the Texans hire, this could be a vastly improved team next season.

Isaiah Hodgins (2017-19) - Buffalo Bills - Short Term IR

-> Following a long stint on short-term IR to start the season, Hodgins underwent successful shoulder surgery this past week and will be ready to go by the start of next season. Shoulder injuries are always tougher rehab processes, so it'll be key to hear concrete updates from the Bills' coaching staff over the offseason on his progress.

Victor Bolden Jr. (2013-2016) - Detroit Lions - Practice Squad
