Ryan Lindley

Rookie long snapper Aaron Brewer has been solid for the Broncos all season, just like he was in his four seasons (2008-2011) at San Diego State.

LB Russell Allen – Jacksonville Jaguars, BYE

LB Antwan Applewhite – Carolina Panthers, BYE

LS Aaron Brewer – Denver Broncos vs. San Diego Chargers
In the Monday night game, the Broncos scored 35 unanswered points and beat the Chargers, 35-24. Brewer snapped the ball well and was efficient in protection, and continues to prove that the Broncos made the right move by signing him over the pricey veteran snapper they had last season.

WR Vincent Brown – San Diego Chargers vs. Denver Broncos
Brown remains out recovering from a broken ankle suffered in the preseason. In a recent update on Rotoworld, it was reported that Norv Turner said Brown was “right on schedule”. He is eligible to return to practice in Week 7.

LB Miles Burris – Oakland Raiders vs. Atlanta Falcons
The Raiders missed their chance at being the first team to knock off the undefeated Falcons, losing on a last-second field goal, 23-20. Burris had 4 total tackles in the game, including a key stop on the goal line when he prevented running back Michael Turner from scoring. The drive eventually ended with the Falcons settling for a field goal from the 2-yard line. Burris has 18 total tackles this season.

OT/OG Brandyn Dombrowski – San Diego Chargers vs. Denver Broncos
Like Brown, Dombrowski remains on the injured-reserve list with a foot injury. According to an article published by The North County Times, he is expected to return in Week 8.

LB Heath Farwell – Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots
In a match-up that could very well exemplify the current shift of power occurring in the NFL, the up-and-coming Seahawks defeated the perennial powerhouse Patriots, 24-23. Farwell contributed two tackles in the game, giving him a total of seven on the season.

RB Ronnie Hillman – Denver Broncos vs. San Diego Chargers
In a bitter homecoming to his former stomping grounds, Hillman saw limited action in the Chargers loss to the Broncos at Qualcomm Stadium. He had just two carries for three yards, but remains the primary backup running back behind Willis McGahee.

QB Ryan Lindley – Arizona Cardinals vs. Buffalo Bills
After starting 4-0, the Cardinals dropped their second straight, falling to the Bills in overtime, 19-16. Quarterback John Skelton was active for the first time since he suffered an ankle injury in Week 1, and entered the game when starter Kevin Kolb was knocked out with a rib injury late in the fourth quarter. With two injury-prone quarterbacks ahead of him, and Skelton struggling in his return (2-10, 45 yards, 1 INT), don’t be surprised if the Cardinals turn to Lindley at some point this season.

OG Lance Louis – Chicago Bears, BYE

LB Kirk Morrison – Buffalo Bills vs. Arizona Cardinals
The Morrison mystery continues, as he was inactive once again for the Bills in their win over the Cardinals. Unfortunately, there is still no clear reason as to why Morrison has yet to play this season.

WR Kassim Osgood – Detroit Lions vs. Philadelphia Eagles
In another overtime thriller, the Lions defeated the Eagles, 26-23. Osgood, the special teams extraordinaire, had one tackle in the victory.

WR Chaz Schilens – New York Jets vs. Indianapolis Colts
In a battle of two former Pac-10 (or Pac-12) quarterbacks, Mark Sanchez outdueled Andrew Luck, and the Jets handled the Colts, 35-9. Schilens continued his consistent production, grabbing two catches for 23 yards.

Russell Allen had another solid outing on Sunday, and is solidifying himself as one of the top tacklers in the league (Rick Wilson/Florida Times-Union)

LB Russell Allen, Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Cincinnati Bengals
The Jaguars fell to the Bengals, 27-10, but Allen continued to rack up an abundance of tackles. He led the team with eight total tackles, including five solo stops. He currently leads the team with 42 total tackles through four games, and is ranked fifth amongst all NFL players.

LB Antwan Applewhite, Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons
In a heated division match-up, the Panthers were defeated by the Falcons, 30-28. Unfortunately, Applewhite was inactive for the second straight week with a knee injury. He currently has two tackles on the season, and his status for next week is uncertain.

LS Aaron Brewer, Denver Broncos vs. Oakland Raiders
The Broncos dominated the divison-rival Raiders; so much so that they didn’t need a single punt in the 37-6 victory. Although he didn’t have any punts to snap for, Brewer continued to snap well on field goals. He yet to record a tackle this season, but has been solid with all his snaps.

WR Vincent Brown, San Diego Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The Chargers handled the Chiefs, 37-20, but Brown remains out with a broken ankle suffered in the preseason. He is expected to return midseason.

LB Miles Burris, Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos
Burris did not record any tackles in the blowout loss against the Broncos. However, he currently has 14 tackles on the season, and continues to start at weakside linebacker for the Raiders.

OT/OG Brandyn Dombrowski, San Diego Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Like Brown, Dombrowski remains on the injured-reserve list. He is suffering from a foot injury, and his return this season is uncertain.

LB Heath Farwell, Seattle Seahawks vs. St. Louis Rams
After the controversial Monday night win over Green Bay, the Seahawks failed to execute a successful encore performance and fell to the Rams, 19-13. The veteran Farwell is currently listed as the backup at middle linebacker, and has played a limited role this season. He had one tackle on Sunday, giving him four on the season.

RB Ronnie Hillman, Denver Broncos vs. Oakland Raiders
In the win over the Raiders, Hillman was finally given a chance to show his explosiveness and had two plays of 10-plus yards. He finished with 10 carries for 31 yards, highlighted by a 12-yard run. He also had two catches for 32 yards, including a 29-yard reception.

QB Ryan Lindley, Arizona Cardinals vs. Miami Dolphins
Lindley has yet to see action in a game, but his team has played very well. The Cardinals defeated the Dolphins in overtime, 30-27, and improved to 4-0. With Kevin Kolb playing well and John Skelton coming back from an ankle injury, it is uncertain if Lindley will see action this season.

OG Lance Louis, Chicago Bears vs. Dallas Cowboys
Louis played well in the national spotlight on Monday night, helping the Bears defeat the Cowboys, 34-10. Louis continues to start at right guard, and the Bears improved to 3-1.

LB Kirk Morrison, Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots
The Bills lost to the Patriots, 52-28, and Morrison continues to be a question mark. He was inactive on Sunday, and has yet to record any stats this season. The reason for his absence is uncertain.

WR Kassim Osgood, Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings
In another division battle, the Lions were defeated by the Vikings, 20-13. As usual, Osgood has been a contributor on special teams this season, but has yet to record a tackle.

WR Chaz Schilens, New York Jets vs. San Francisco 49ers
Sunday was a tough day for the Jets’ offense, as they were shutout by the 49ers, 34-0. The offense struggled to move the ball, but Schilens was still able to haul in three catches for 45 yards. He currently has six catches for 69 yards this season.
