Quarterback 

Jake Luton (2017-19) - Seattle Seahawks - Second String/Practice Squad

-> With Russell Wilson set to miss at least four weeks of action due to an injured finger, Luton is a prime candidate to be elevated to the Seahawks' active roster this week.

With Geno Smith set to be the starter, and Luton currently the lone other QB on the roster, I'd expect he'll be the prime backup when the Seahawks take on Pittsburgh this weekend. It'll be interesting to see if he gets any run during Wilson's absence...

Sean Mannion (2010-14) - Minnesota Vikings - Practice Squad

-> After getting let go by the Seahawks, Mannion was reunited with his former team in the Minnesota Vikings as they signed him to their practice squad.

Running Back 

Jermar Jefferson (2018-20) - Detroit Lions - Third String

-> Serving as the third-string running back behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams, Jefferson didn't see action in the Lions' 19-17 loss to Minnesota.

Ryan Nall (2014-17) - Chicago Bears - Practice Squad

-> After being cut before the start of the regular season, Nall currently finds himself on the Bears practice squad.

Artavis Pierce (2016-19) - Chicago Bears - Practice Squad

-> Pierce currently finds himself on the Bears' practice squad after being re-signed by Chicago last week...

Wide Receiver

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

-> In Houston's, 25-22 loss to New England, Cooks hauled in three of his five targets for 23 yards. With Chris Moore & Chris Conley having big receiving days, Cooks didn't find himself as the go-to target in this one. He'll look to bounce back next week against the Colts...

Isaiah Hodgins (2017-19) - Buffalo Bills - Practice Squad

-> Hodgins currently finds himself on the Bills' practice squad.

Offensive Line 

Isaac Seumalo (2011-15) - Philadelphia Eagles - IR

-> Brandel is currently on the Vikings’ practice squad…

Mike Remmers (2007-11) - Kansas City Chiefs - Second String
