Leverett made his first start of the season for the Patriots, playing every snap on offense. This comes a week after filling in midgame for an injury.

Granson wasn’t targeted in the passing game against the Jaguars but did contribute on special teams, making a tackle on punt duty.

Adams played on defense and special teams in the Seahawks’ Week 5 games against the Giants but did not record any statistics.

Special Teams

The Lions were on bye in Week 5.
