Granson was targeted twice in the Colts’ Week 2 loss to the Packers, catching one of those passes for nine yards.
Defense
Myles Adams – DL, Seahawks
After being inactive in Week 1, Adams played briefly in the Seahawks’ Week 2 game against the Patriots. He did not record any statistics.
Special Teams
Jack Fox – P, Lions
Fox punted twice for 67 yards, pinning his opponent inside the 20-yard line on both of his kicks. His more impressive contribution, however, came with his arm, not his leg. A former high school quarterback, Fox showcased his passing skills on a gutsy fake punt, converting on fourth down with a 17-yard pass.
