FB Tommy Bohanon, New York Jets
Bohanon broke his collarbone in the Jets' 24-17 loss to the Lions. Despite suffering the injury, he played the whole second half before being diagnosed after the game. He will undergo surgery and was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. The Jets (1-3) travel to San Diego to play the Chargers on Sunday.
S Josh Bush, New York Jets
Bush played in his second straight game in a 24-17 loss to Detroit. The third-year safety had been inactive the first two weeks with a quadriceps injury but returned last week. He did not have any stats in Sunday's game. New York (1-3) will play at San Diego on Sunday afternoon.
WR Michael Campanaro, Baltimore Ravens
Campanaro was inactive for the fourth-straight week as the Ravens cruised to a 38-10 win over Carolina. The rookie is listed as the third-team kick returner and moved up from fourth to third-team wide receiver. Baltimore (3-1) heads to Indianapolis for a Sunday afternoon contest.
OT Tyson Clabo, Houston Texans
Clabo came off the bench as a reserve offensive tackle in the Texans' 23-17 victory over Buffalo. Clabo has seen action off the bench in all four of Houston's games. The Texans (3-1) travel to Dallas on Sunday.
WR Chris Givens, St. Louis Rams
The Rams had their bye week this past weekend. The third-year receiver has four catches for 50 yards through his first three contests. St. Louis plays at Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.
RB Josh Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers
Harris, a rookie running back, is a member of the Steelers' practice squad after signing a free agent contract with the team at the end of July. Harris had eight carries for 41 yards during the preseason to earn a spot on the practice squad. Pittsburgh (2-2) fell to the Buccaneers, 27-24, last weekend, and travel to Jacksonville on Sunday afternoon.
OG Joe Looney, San Francisco 49ers
Looney came off the bench in the 49ers' 26-21 win against the Eagles last week. Looney had started at right guard throughout the preseason and in Week 1 but has come off the bench the past three weeks with the return of fellow lineman Alex Boone. The 49ers (2-2) welcome the Chiefs to San Francisco on Sunday.
LB Calvin Pace, New York Jets
Pace did not record a statistic in New York's 24-17 loss to Detroit. The 12th-year veteran started at outside linebacker for New York. Pace will be inducted into Wake Forest's Sports Hall of Fame on Oct. 17, as announced last week. The Jets play at the Patriots on the Thursday night prior to the induction ceremony. New York (1-3) travels to San Diego this weekend.
DE Zach Thompson, Denver Broncos
Thompson, a rookie defensive end, is a member of the Broncos' practice squad after signing with the team on Sept. 1. Thompson spent the preseason in camp with the New York Jets. An undrafted rookie free agent, Thompson had five tackles in three preseason games with the Jets before being released at the close of camp. Denver (2-1) had its bye week last weekend, and is returning to host undefeated Arizona in Week 5.
FB Nikita Whitlock, Dallas Cowboys
Whitlock, a rookie fullback and Dallas area native, is a member of the Cowboys practice squad after re-signing with the team on Sept. 9. Whitlock was originally signed to the Cowboys' practice squad on Sept. 1 but was then released and picked back up by the team. He spent the preseason in camp with the Cincinnati Bengals. The Cowboys knocked off the Saints, 38-17, and battle in-state rival Houston on Sunday afternoon.
LB Kyle Wilber, Dallas Cowboys
Wilber came off the bench but did not record a statistic in the Cowboys' 38-17 win over New Orleans on Sunday. The third-year linebacker is expected to start at strongside linebacker for Dallas (3-1) this weekend, thanks to an injury to regular starter Bruce Carter. Wilber has 11 tackles and a half sack through four games in 2014. The Cowboys take on the Texans on Sunday afternoon.
