Check out how these former Indiana football players fared in Week 11 of NFL action:
Nate Sudfeld (Philadelphia Eagles)

Tevin Coleman (San Francisco 49ers)
The San Francisco 49ers were on a bye this week. The 49ers will resume play next weekend on the road against the Los Angeles Rams.

Jordan Howard (Philadelphia Eagles)
Howard officially rejoined the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday after being waived by the Miami Dolphins last week. Howard finished with 33 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 28 carries across five games with the Dolphins. Howard averaged just 1.2 rushing yards per carry on his attempts with Miami this season, and was listed as inactive for four games this season. Last season with the Eagles, Howard finished with 525 rushing yards and six touchdowns in 10 games. Howard’s contract details can be found here. Philadelphia lost to the Cleveland Browns this week, and faces the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football in Week 12.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (Tennessee Titans)
Westbrook-Ikhine caught his only target for seven receiving yards when Tennessee executed a fake punt play against Baltimore. Backup quarterback Logan Woodside connected with Westbrook-Ikhine to move the chains for a first down. The drive ended with a field goal. The wide receiver played 11 snaps (41 percent) on special teams. The Titans defeated the Ravens in overtime on Sunday afternoon, 30-24.
Ian Thomas (Carolina Panthers)
Thomas played 40 snaps (56 percent) on offense for Carolina against Detroit on Sunday afternoon. Without starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, the tight end failed to receive any targets with backup quarterback P.J. Walker. Still, the Panthers defeated the Lions, 20-0.
Jason Spriggs (Chicago Bears)
Spriggs and the Chicago Bears were on a bye this week. The Bears will return to play next weekend against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football in Week 12.
Wes Martin (Washington Football Team)
Martin played in just three snaps (5 percent) on offense for Washington against Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon. Martin is currently listed as the backup left guard for Washington, behind Wes Schweitzer on the depth chart. The Football Team defeated the Bengals, 20-9.
Dan Feeney (Los Angeles Chargers)
Feeney played in all 82 snaps on offense and six snaps (20 percent) on special teams for Los Angeles against the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon. Feeney continues to switch between the center and guard positions on the offensive line for the Chargers. The Chargers defeated the Jets, 34-28.
Rodger Saffold III (Tennessee Titans)
Saffold III was listed as inactive for Tennessee leading into Sunday afternoon’s game against Baltimore. Saffold III is recovering from an ankle injury, after making an appearance in their last game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Titans defeated the Ravens in overtime, 30-24.
Brandon Knight (Dallas Cowboys)
Knight was activated from the injured reserve for Dallas prior to Sunday afternoon’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. Knight has not played since injuring his knee against Arizona in Week 6. Knight played in just one snap on special teams for the Cowboys on Sunday. The Cowboys defeated the Vikings, 31-28.
Simon Stepaniak (Green Bay Packers)
Stepaniak makes his first appearance in this weekly report, as the rookie offensive lineman finally was able to practice with the organization after recovering from a torn ACL last season as Indiana was preparing to take on Tennessee in the Gator Bowl. Stepaniak was drafted in the sixth round at No. 209. Stepaniak’s participation in practice means Green Bay will have to make a decision in the next three weeks on his status moving forward. The Packers will have to waive him, add him to the 53-man roster, or sign him to the practice squad.
