Not a lot of excitememt as the season starts to get into a grind for BYU alum. Jamaal Williams had a scare. Sorensen was on the wrong side of a replay, again.


Here is the run down for all former BYU players in the NFL for week three. 

Ezekiel Ansah, Detroit Lions (4-1 W Minnesota Vikings 14-7)
Ansah had three tackles. 

John Denney, Miami Dolphins (1-2 L New Orleans Saints 20-0) 
Denney made six good snaps on the Dolphins' six punts. He was credited with running Ted Ginn, Jr. out of bounds on one of them.

Daniel Sorensen, Kansas City Chiefs (4-0 W Washington Redskins)
Sorensen made one tackle on Monday night. He was credited with a forced fumble that Kansas City recovered, but the replay official overturned the call.

Kyle Van Noy, New England Patriots (2-2 L Carolina Panthers 33-30)
Van Noy was second on the team with eight tackles, including one sack.

@KVN_03 has 29 tkls in 4 games. That = what he had lst yr w/Pats & 10 shy of what he had w/Lions lst yr (7 games with each)

Harvey Langi, New England Patriots (2-2 L Carolina Panthers 33-30)
Langi did not play.

Bronson Kaufusi, Baltimore Ravens (2-2 L Pittsburgh Steelers 26-9)
Kaufusi saw his first action of the season. He started and made one tackle.

Jamaal Williams, Green Bay Packers (3-1 W Chicago Bears 35-14)
Williams was getting his most extensive playing time of the season before banging up his knee with 11:12 to play in the second quarter. He had four carries for 11 yards and one reception for two yards.

Reports are that no serious damage was sustained. The game was Thursday night, so hopefully the extra time to rest will allow Williams to suit up next week.

Fua will not play until fully recovering from an injury sustained last season.

Taysom Hill, New Orleans Saints (2-2 W Miami Dolphins 20-0)

Nacua played, but did not record any stats.

Michael Davis, Los Angeles Chargers (0-4 L Philadelphia Eagles 26-24)
Davis had one tackle.

Jordan Leslie, Cleveland Browns (0-4 L Cincinnati Bengals 31-7)
