Here is how the former Gophers on NFL rosters did in Week 3!
Eric Decker- Wide Receiver New York Jets
Week 4 Opponent: Detroit Lions
Decker played on his injured hamstring and had four catches for 48 yards and a touchdown in a 24-17 loss to the Lions. Decker was targeted a whopping ten times.
Week 5 Opponent: San Diego Chargers
The Jets travel across the country to San Diego and a tilt with the Chargers.
Marqueis Gray- Tight End Minnesota Vikings
Week 4 Opponent: Atlanta Falcons
Gray was on the field quite a bit for the Vikings, but was only truly noticeable when he drew a false start penalty. He did have one tackle on special teams. With the Vikings bringing in Chase Ford off the practice squad as a pass catching tight end, Gray's action may be more limited.
Week 5 Opponent: Green Bay Packers
The Vikings will go to Green Bay on a short week to play the Packers on Thursday night. Hopefully Gray will finally catch a pass this week.
Ra'Shede Hageman- Defensive Tackle Atlanta Falcons
Week 4 Opponent: Minnesota Vikings
Hageman did not record any stats in the Falcons loss to the Vikings, and played only 14 snaps. We did get this picture though:

Week 5 Opponent: New York Giants
The Falcons will head up to the Meadowlands to play the Giants this Sunday.
Marcus Sherels- Cornerback/ Punt Returner Minnesota Vikings
Week 4 Opponent: Atlanta Falcons
Sherels returned two punts for 39 yards including one 23 yarder.
Week 5 Opponent: Green Bay Packers
Sherels will get a chance to return more punts if the Vikings defense can contain Aaron Rogers and the Packers offense.
Matt Spaeth- Tight End Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 4 Opponent: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Steelers lost in Masonlike fashion to Tampa 27-24 on Sunday and Spaeth did not record any statistics.
Week 5 Opponent: Jacksonville Jaguars
Spaeth will hopefully get more action in a potential blowout of the Jags. Of course I said that last week too...
Brock Vereen- Safety Chicago Bears
Week 4 Opponent: Green Bay Packers
With several Bears secondary members returning from injury, Vereen's playing time dropped this week and he did not record any statistics.
Week 5 Opponent: Carolina Panthers
The Nears head down to Carolina to try and regain their winning ways.
Tramaine Brock- Cornerback San Francisco 49ers
Week 4 Opponent: Philadelphia Eagles
Brock was inactive for his third consecutive game still suffering from a turf toe injury from Week 1.
Week 5 Opponent: Kansas City Chiefs
The 49ers play the Chiefs and maybe Brock will be back healthy
Check back next Tuesday to see how our former Gophers did in Week 5.
