Offense

Calvin Anderson – OT, Patriots

Anderson was inactive for the Patriots’ Week 8 loss to the Dolphins.

Kylen Granson – TE, Colts

Granson was not activated from the concussion protocol this week and was inactive for the Colts’ Week 8 loss to the Saints.

Nick Leverett – OT, Buccaneers

Leverett has been active for back-to-back games for the first time this season, seeing action with the Bucs’ special teams unit again this week against the Bills.

Austin Trammell – WR, Rams

Trammel registered just one punt return this week against the Cowboys, a loss of five yards.

Defense

Myles Adams – DL, Seahawks

For the second straight game, Adams was limited to special teams duties and did not see any defensive snaps.

Elijah Garcia – DL, Broncos

Garcia was inactive for Week 8. He last played for the Broncos in Week 5 against the Jets.

Special Teams

Jack Fox – P, Lions

Fox was only called upon once on Monday Night Football, delivering a 48-yard blast.

Chris Boswell – K, Steelers

The boxscore will show Boswell responsible for his first missed field goal of the season on Sunday, but that miscue comes with an asterisk. Boswell drilled a 55-yarder at the end of the half, only for a penalty to nullify the kick and force him to try from 61 yards. He missed the second attempt. Outside of that long shot, Boswell made his other field goal and an extra point.
