Owls in the NFL - Week 5
10.8.24 | Football
There are 18 former Temple Owls active in the NFL. Let's take a look at their progress…
Buffalo's Dion Dawkins (2013-16) and the Bills offensive line created gaps for Bills rushers that led to a season-high 150 yards rushing in a 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans.
In a reduced role after the preseason trade for linebacker Matthew Judon, Atlanta's Arnold Ebiketie (2017-20) didn't record any tackles for the first time this season.
Jacksonville's Christian Braswell (2017-20) didn't see any action in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Indianapolis Colts. After their first win of the season, Braswell and the Jaguars look forward to their annual trip to London where they'll face the Chicago Bears.
San Francisco's Rock Ya-Sin (2015-18) did not get any reps at safety this week.
Steelers' linebacker Tyler Matakevich (2012-15), Panthers' Safety Sam Franklin Jr. (2016-19), Commanders' linebacker Jordan Magee (2019-23), Bears' defensive end Jacob Martin (2014-17), and Jets' tight end Kenny Yeboah (2016-19) are eligible to return from injury reserve.
The Tennessee Titans and the Detroit Lions were on a bye this week. Rookie tight end David Martin-Robinson (2018-23) and the Titans will return from the bye to play their first divisional game on the road against the Indianapolis Colts.
Starting center Frank Ragnow will likely return to the lineup this week, with Detroit backup center Michael Niese (2016-21) on standby. Niese in his first season is the listed backup for Ragnow, who suffered a torn pectoral muscle that kept him out of last week's game.
Haason Reddick (2013-16) remains on the New York Jets did not report list.
There are six Owls currently on practice squad rosters:
