HOUSTON -- With 12 alums on NFL rosters in the fourth week of NFL action, the #HTownTakeover is well represented across the league. Take a look around the league to see how they performed...
Baltimore's Tyus Bowser assisted on one tackle against the division rival Pittsburgh Steelers in a 26-9 loss. Bowser is one of only three linebackers in the league with a sack and an interception this season.
Los Angeles' Kenneth Farrow is on the Injured/Reserve list due to an ankle injury.
Facing fellow #HTownTakeover alum Case Keeenum, Detroit's D.J. Hayden recorded two total tackles in a defensive grudge match against the Vikings, winning 14-7. Hayden continued to rotate with Nevin Lawson at cornerback opposite Darius Slay, but for the first time this season, Hayden totaled more snaps than Lawson, 32-24.
Cincinnati's William Jackson III collected one tackle and broke up two passes in a 31-7 win against the Browns. One week after returning an Aaron Rodgers interception to the end zone, Jackson saw more field time on Sunday, stepping on the field for 72 percent of Cincinnati's defensive plays.
Minnesota's Case Keenum continued as the starter this week for the Vikings, completing 16-of-30 passes for 219 yards in a 14-7 loss to the Lions.
New England's Elandon Roberts recorded five combined tackles (four solo and one assisted) to go along with a fumble recovery in a 33-30 loss to the Panthers. Roberts did not finish the game due to an ankle injury.
Cleveland's Howard Wilson has been sidelined since the beginning of rookie camp with a broken kneecap and is currently on the Browns' Physically Unable to Perform list. Wilson was able to avoid surgery, and a midseason return is possible.
