#ProJackets Report, Week 1

Sept. 14, 2015

Ten #ProJackets took the field during the opening slate of games for the NFL’s 2015 season, while an 11th is scheduled to play Monday night in Atlanta.

NFL rookies Shaq Mason (New England) and Darren Waller (Baltimore) made their pro debuts, while second-year LB Jeremiah Attaochu did not play in the Chargers’ season-opening win against Detroit because of a hamstring injury.

Demaryius Thomas hauled in seven catches for 60 yards in Denver’s win over Baltimore and Calvin Johnson caught two balls for 39 yards in a Lions loss.
