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
