Week 7 was a quiet one for #ProJackets in the NFL. Calvin Johnson caught five passes for 86 yards and touchdown in a Detroit loss to Minnesota. Defensively, LB Daryl Smith had eight tackles in Baltimore’s loss to Arizona.
Free agent LB Philip Wheeler, who was released by the Miami Dolphins earlier this year, was signed by the Atlanta Falcons last week. He did not play in Atlanta’s 10-7 road win at Tennessee.
Week 8 features two games with a combined six #ProJackets on the field. Jeremiah Attaochu will face Daryl Smith and Darren Waller when San Diego travels to Baltimore for a 1 p.m. ET game on CBS. Vance Walker and Demaryius Thomas will square off against Morgan Burnett when the Broncos host the Packers on NBC Sunday Night Football.
