14 weeks of the 2020 NFL season are now complete for 14 former IU stars with teams in the league in some capacity.
Week 14 marked an NFL debut for one former Hoosier, more than three years after his last game with IU.
Take a look at how they all did with our quick recap of the Hoosiers in the NFL.
Tevin Coleman (RB) – San Francisco 49ers
Coleman played on 2 offensive snaps and 15 special teams snaps. He did not register any statistics in a loss to Washington.
For the season Coleman has 23 rushes for 39 yards while playing in just 5 games. He has added 3 catches for 34 yards.
Dan Feeney (OL) – Los Angeles Chargers
Feeney has started all 13 games and played 100 percent of the offensive snaps this year for Los Angeles. He also played in 15 percent of the special teams snaps including 24 percent on Sunday.
The Chargers offense ran 26 times for 105 yards and allowed just 1 sack on 44 pass attempts in a win over Atlanta.
Jordan Howard (RB) – Philadelphia Eagles
Howard was back with the Eagles practice squad in week 14, carrying a protected status.
On the season Howard has 32 carries, 52 yards, and 4 TDs with Miami and Philadelphia
Brandon Knight (OL) – Dallas Cowboys
Knight earned his sixth start of the year as the Cowboys defeated Cincinnati. Knight played on 100 percent of the offensive snaps, and 29 percent on special teams.
Dallas ran 25 times for 101 yards and allowed 2 sacks on 23 pass attempts.
On the season Knight is up to 60 percent of the offensive snaps and 12 percent on special teams for Dallas.
Wes Martin (OL) – Washington
Martin saw 1 snap with the Washington offense in week 14. It was the fourth week in a row that he saw some limited action with the offense.
Martin also continued to play on special teams.
On the season Martin has played in 39 percent of the offensive snaps and 16 percent on special teams.
Rodger Saffold (OL) – Tennessee Titans
Saffold saw action in 68 percent of the offensive snaps and 20 percent on special teams as the Titans beat Jacksonville. He left the game early but it was not clear whether that was due to injury or Tennessee’s big lead.
The Titan offense amassed 212 rushing yards on the day.
Saffold has now appeared in 142 NFL games with 139 starts. He is the longest tenured Hoosier in the NFL.
Tegray Scales (LB) – Pittsburgh Steelers
What a journey for Scales after completing his IU career in 2017.
He went undrafted in 2018, was signed by the Rams, then the Colts, the Steelers, the Dallas Renegades of the XFL, the Buccaneers, and then again by the Steelers. Scales never advanced beyond an NFL camp / practice squad until this week.
After a wave of injuries in the Steelers’ linebacker group, the 24 year old Scales was active on gameday for the first time.
Scales registered three special teams snaps on Sunday night in Buffalo.

Stepaniak was still listed on the Packers’ injury report last week. He tore his ACL preparing for the Gator Bowl.
Nate Sudfeld (QB) – Philadelphia Eagles
Sudfeld is on the active roster but has been inactive on game day for most of the season.
