Leverett was active for the Bucs again this week, but did not see action in their Week 3 game against the Eagles.

Austin Trammell – WR, Rams

Trammell did not record any receptions against the colts, but he did serve as the teams’ primary punt return, returning four punts for 15 yards on Sunday.

Defense

Myles Adams – DL, Seahawks

Adams saw his most extensive work of the season on Monday Night Football, racking up four tackles and one sack against the Giants. The sack was one of 11 on the night for the Seahawks and the first of Adams’ career.

Elijah Garcia – DL, Broncos

Garcia registered a tackle in the Broncos’ win over the Bears in Week 4, his first official statistic recorded since an opening week loss to the Raiders.

Fox punted four times on Thursday night against the Packers, averaging 45 yards per punt and downing one of his kicks inside the 20. His longest ball of the night traveled 52 yards.
