Jack Anderson – OL, New York GiantsÂ
Anderson saw his first game action for New York. He played in five special teams plays for the Giants in its 19-16 win over the Carolina Panthers.
Brooks led the Seahawks in tackles for the second-straight game as he finished Sunday's divisional contest with 11 tackles (seven solo) in the 27-7 loss vs. the San Francisco 49ers. This is back-to-back games with double-digit tackles for Brooks this season. Brooks ranks second in the NFL in total tackles with 23, two short of the NFL leader Jonathan Owens (Houston).Â
The Colts activated Coutee from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday, Sept. 17. Coutee fielded three punts in the fourth quarter. The first was returned eight yards, second for negative five yards while the third was muffed and the ball traveled out of bounds.Â

Eguavoen recorded three tackles on defense while playing just seven defensive snaps in the Dolphins' 42-38 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. He also participated in 17 special teams plays.

Mahomes II threw for 235 yards on 24-of-35 passing with two passing touchdowns and no turnovers in the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Mahomes II has yet to turn the ball over in route to leading the Chiefs to a 2-0 start this season.

Tweet of the Week:
Bucs rookie receiver Kaylon Geiger played on special teams in his NFL debut Sunday, and logged a single offensive snap -- they line up a player deep in backfield in victory formation, just to guard against a fumble. Geiger got to celebrate in that role on final snap Sunday. pic.twitter.com/7rGG1dqzRD

The Buccaneers activated Geiger from the practice squad on Saturday, Sept. 17, making him eligible to play in Sunday's game at New Orleans.
The NFL introduced the practice squad elevation option in 2020, which allows teams to activate up to two practice squad players for each game. By utilizing both options in Week Two, the Buccaneers increased their game day roster to 55 players for their Week Two matchup with the Saints. They were able to keep 48 of those active for the game, naming seven inactives prior to kickoff.
Geiger remained one of the active 48 and saw game action. He did not record a stat.Â
Each player on the practice squad can be elevated up to three times during the regular season and an unlimited amount of times in the postseason. After the game, elevated players automatically revert to the practice squad, as Geiger did on Sept. 19, without having to pass through waivers.
