How to Watch Illini in the NFL: Week 1

On Tuesday’s post, I missed out on one player who will be playing on Sundays this season:

Geromino Allison, WR Green Bay Packers

Allison, who was a surprising contributor for the Packers last year (not surprising to us), will start the season off the Packers’ 53-man roster. He is is serving a one-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. He will surely join the team Week 2.

Anyways, week 1 kicks off around the National Football League and here are the Illini who will take the field this week on a roster:

• Jeff Allen OG Houston Texans
• Arrelious Benn WR Jacksonville Jaguars
• Vontae Davis CB Indianapolis Colts
• Clayton Fejedelem S Cincinnati Bengals
• Josh Ferguson RB Indianpolis Colts
• Michael Hoomanawanui TE New Orleans Saints
• Teddy Karras OG New England Patriots
• Matt Lacosse TE New York Giants
• Corey Liuget DT Los Angeles Chargers
• Whitney Mercilus Whitney OLB Houston Texans
• Jay Prosch FB Houston Texans
• Jihad Ward DL Oakland Raiders
• Tavon Wilson S Detroit Lions
• Dawuane Smoot DE Jacksonville Jaguars
