Offense

Calvin Anderson – OT, Broncos

After working as a reserve for the early portion of the season, Calvin Anderson drew his first start this week, filling in for injured Garrett Bolles. It was the third start of his career and the most snaps he’s played in a singular game to date.

Nick Leverett – OT, Buccaneers

Leverett and the Buccaneers were on bye in Week 9. They resume play in Week 10 at the Washington Football Team.

Defense

Bryce Callahan – CB, Broncos

Callahan suffered a knee injury in Week 8 and was unable to return to the game, subsequently being placed on IR. He will miss at least three games.

Christian Covington – DL, Chargers

Covington had four tackles in the Chargers’ Week 9 win over the Eagles. He has recorded multiple tackles in every game he’s played so far this season.

Andrew Sendejo – S, Colts

Sendejo drew his fifth start of the year for the Colts in their Thursday Night Football win over the Jets, telling three tackles. He’s now reached three or more tackles in all but one start this season.

Special Teams

Jack Fox – P, Lions

Fox and the Lions were on bye in Week 9. They resume play in Week 10 at Pittsburgh.

Chris Boswell – K, Steelers

Boswell bounced back from an injury suffered on a fake field goal and suited up for the Steelers’ Monday Night Football game against the Bears. He missed one of three extra points on the night, but redeemed himself by making three field goals, two of which were from distances beyond fifty yards while the third was the game-winner in the final seconds.
