HOUSTON -- With 12 alums on NFL rosters in the third 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 participated in the NFL's annual trip to London, falling to the Jaguars, 44-7. Prior to the game, on Friday, Bowser was named the NFL.com Pepsi Rookie of the Week for his efforts against Cleveland the previous week.
Los Angeles' Kenneth Farrow is on the Injured/Reserve list due to an ankle injury.
Detroit's D.J. Hayden was all over the field Sunday recording seven combined tackles (four total and three assisted) in a crushing 30-26 loss to the Falcons. Hayden left the game in the second half with an undisclosed injury.
Cincinnati's William Jackson III recorded four total tackles, and picked off Aaron Rodgers for a 75-yard defensive touchdown in a 27-24 overtime loss to the Packers. It was only Rodgers' second career pick six thrown.
Minnesota's Case Keenum put up one of the week's most impressive performances by a quarterback, completing 25-of-33 passes for a career-high 369 yards and three touchdowns in a 34-17 win over the Buccaneers.
New England's Elandon Roberts added to his massive tackle count again on Sunday, recording a combined nine tackles in a 36-33 win over the Texans.
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.
