Here is how the former Gophers on NFL rosters did in Week 5!

Decker played on his injured hamstring last week, but could not go after giving it a shot in warmups. He was inactive for the Jets 31-0 loss to San Diego.
Week 6 Opponent: Denver Broncos
Denver comes to the Meadowlands in a game you can bet Decker wants to play in against his former team. Hopefully he can.

Gray caught one pass for 16 yards from Christian Ponder in the Vikings blowout loss to the Packers on Thursday night.

Week 6 Opponent: Detroit Lions
Sherels will get a chance to get back to TCF Bank Stadium and a date with Detroit this weekend.
