Cameron Fleming • OG • New England Patriots • 2nd season • @cammyjfresh
Fleming made his fourth consecutive start against the New York Giants on Sunday and his first career start at left tackle. He played every offensive snap, frequently lining up opposite All-Pro pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul. New England won 27-26 on a Stephen Gostkowski field goal with time expiring.
In warmups, #Patriots have Cameron Fleming at LT and Bryan Stork at RT. Would be first career starts at those positions for each player

Great job by Cameron Fleming slowing JPP on TD pass to Gronk to let the play develop. he was waived in Sept & on practice squad a month ago

Toby Gerhart • RB • Jacksonville Jaguars • 6th season • @Toby_Gerhart
Gerhart was inactive for the second consecutive game on Sunday as Jacksonville defeated Baltimore 22-20. He is reportedly suffering from the same core muscle injury which limited him in preseason.

Andrew Luck • QB • Indianapolis Colts • 4th season
Bye week.
Next Game: at Atlanta (Nov. 22)
Josh Mauro • DE • Arizona Cardinals • 2nd season • @JustJoshin90
Mauro accomplished a feat not many NFL players can lay claim to: he brought down Marshawn Lynch in the Seattle backfield all by himself. Mauro started on Arizona’s defensive line in a 39-32 win at Seattle, finishing the evening with three tackles, two solo, and the aforementioned tackle for a loss. He was one of the Cardinals’ recipients of a game ball for his efforts.

Ty Montgomery • WR • Green Bay Packers • 1st season • @TyMontgomery2
Montgomery sat out for the fourth game in a row with an ankle injury. Green Bay struggled against Detroit and lost 18-16 at home, its third-consecutive defeat.
Looks like #Packers will be without Ty Montgomery for a third straight game, downgraded to doubtful. Shields and Neal upgraded to probable

Trent Murphy • LB • Washington Redskins • 2nd season • @TMurphy_93

Andrus Peat • OT • New Orleans Saints • 1st season • @AndrusPeat
Terron Armstead retained his role as starting left tackle in New Orleans’ 47-14 loss against Washington, but was replaced by Peat when the game was put out of reach by the Redskins. This was Peat’s first appearance since injuring his left knee on Oct. 15 against Atlanta.
Terron Armstead out of the game, Andrus Peat returns to the lineup.

Next Game: at Houston (Nov. 29)
Jordan Richards • DB • New England Patriots • 1st season
Richards’ defensive playing time was affected by New England trailing most of the contest and not playing many nickel packages against the New York Giants. The Patriots won 27-26 on a last-second field goal, with Richards appearing on 62 percent of special teams snaps.
Jordan Richards is constantly one of the first on the field every game, too pic.twitter.com/CBVOuADuTW

Next Game: vs. Buffalo (Nov. 23)
Richard Sherman • CB • Seattle Seahawks • 5th season • @RSherman_25
Sherman finished with five tackles and a pass defended against Arizona, but had a night to forget in the 39-32 loss on Sunday night. The former two-way star at Stanford was targeted eight times by Carson Palmer, allowing five catches for 67 yards and a touchdown to Michael Floyd. Sherman and the Seahawks defense, which was flagged for 14 penalties amounting to 131 yards on Sunday, will look to rebound against a San Francisco offense which ranks dead last in yards gained.
As to all the chitter/chatter: if Cam Newton & Richard Sherman are deemed thugs, I proudly stand with them & declare myself a thug too.

Players on Injured Reserve
Henry Anderson • DE • Indianapolis Colts • 1st season • @HenryAnderson91
A knee injury in the Oct. 9 win against Denver spelled the end of an impressive rookie campaign for Anderson. Entering Week 9, Pro Football Focus ranked him as the league’s second-best rookie behind Buffalo’s Ronald Darby. Pro Football Focus also ranked him tops among the league’s 34 rookie interior defenders with a +10.2 clip, well ahead of Leonard Williams (+6.1) who ranked second.
“It’s a big blow. He’s a hard worker, he grinds and he plays the game the way it’s supposed to be played. You really hate to see someone get hurt, especially when he’s balling,” said the Colts’ future Hall of Fame defensive end Robert Mathis.
Alex Carter • CB • Detroit Lions • 1st season • @AlexCarter
The third-round pick sustained an ankle injury in training camp and will be sidelined through at least the first half of the 2015 season.
