FB Tommy Bohanon, New York Jets
Bohanon broke his collarbone in the Jets' Week 4 loss to the Lions. Despite suffering the injury, he played the whole second half before being diagnosed after the game. He was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. The Jets (2-11) fell to the Vikings in overtime on Sunday, and travel to Tennessee this weekend.
S Josh Bush, Denver Broncos
Bush was signed to Denver's practice squad on Nov. 18. He spent more than two seasons with the Jets, playing 35 games before being released in October. In his career, Bush has made 29 tackles and has forced a fumble. The Broncos (10-3) defeated Buffalo over the weekend and travel to San Diego on Sunday afternoon.
WR Michael Campanaro, Baltimore Ravens
Campanaro missed his fifth straight game due to a thigh injury, a 28-13 victory at Miami. He did practice all last week and is no longer on the injury report. In three games, Campanaro has six catches for 85 yards and one touchdown. This weekend, Baltimore (8-5) plays host to Jacksonville on Sunday afternoon.
OT Tyson Clabo, Houston Texans
Clabo came off the bench in the Texans' 27-13 win at Jacksonville. Clabo has seen action off the bench in 12 of Houston's games, missing the Week 9 matchup against Philadelphia. The nine-year veteran has played in more than 125 career games. The Texans (7-6) look to keep their playoff hopes alive against the Colts on Sunday afternoon.
WR Chris Givens, St. Louis Rams
Givens was active but did not record a statistic in the Rams' 24-0 victory over the Raiders, marking the team's second straight shutout win. The third-year receiver has eight catches for 94 yards this season. St. Louis has wins over both of the teams in last year's Super Bowl, defeating both Denver and Seattle this season. The Rams (6-7) play Arizona on Thursday Night Football.
RB Josh Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers
Harris, a rookie running back, received his first-career carries as the Steelers beat Cincinnati on the road, 42-21. Backing up Le'Veon Bell, Harris ran four times for nine yards. He was recently promoted to the Steelers' active roster after spending the start of the season as a member of the practice squad since signing a free agent contract at the end of July. Pittsburgh (8-5) travels to Atlanta on Sunday afternoon.
LB Justin Jackson, Washington Redskins
Jackson signed to Washington's practice squad on Tuesday, Dec. 9. He has had a whirlwind season so far, spending time now with four different organizations this year. Jackson spent most of November on the Bengals' practice squad after also spending time with Detroit and Minnesota in the preseason. Washington (3-10) travels to take on the Giants on Sunday.
OG Joe Looney, San Francisco 49ers
Looney saw action off the bench in the 49ers' 24-13 loss to Oakland. The 24-year-old offensive guard has seen action in all 13 games, earning starts in Week 1 and Week 7, as well as all four preseason games. He has more than tripled his previous career-high in games played (4) this season. The 49ers (7-6) travel to Seattle for a 4:25 p.m. game on Sunday.
DB Kenny Okoro, Washington Redskins
Okoro was promoted to Washington's active roster on Saturday, Dec. 6, less than two weeks after signing with the team's practice squad on Nov. 26. He saw action on special teams but did not record a statistic. Currently, Okoro is listed as a second-team cornerback behind David Amerson. Okoro spent the first half of the season with the Arena Football League's San Jose SaberCats, totaling 60 tackles, eight pass breakups and an interception. Washington (3-10) fell to the Rams last weekend, and plays the Giants on Sunday.
LB Calvin Pace, New York Jets
Pace recorded a tackle in the Jets' overtime loss to Minnesota. The 12th-year veteran has started 61 consecutive games for New York, recording 35 tackles and four sacks this year. Having played in more than 160 career games, he has totaled more than 550 tackles and 55 sacks in his career. Pace also returned to Winston-Salem to be inducted into Wake Forest's Sports Hall of Fame on Oct. 17. The Jets (2-11) play at Tennessee on Sunday.
LB Kyle Wilber, Dallas Cowboys
Wilber did not record a defensive statistic, but did return a kickoff for two yards in the Cowboys' 41-28 win over Chicago. He has shifted between strongside and weakside linebacker this year, and is currently listed as the second-team strongside linebacker. The third-year player has 20 tackles and a half sack through 13 games in 2014. The Cowboys (9-4) look to avenge a Week 13 loss to Philadelphia this weekend, playing the Eagles on Sunday Night Football.
