Jacob Parrish, CB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jacob Parrish has been consistent in his rookie year so far. In the matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, the first-year corner had three total tackles as well as a tackle for loss. The rookie had poise, allowing zero yards on two screen plays.
The Buccaneers had to swallow a tough 31-25 loss versus the Eagles, but should be excited about what Parrish has been able to do in his first year thus far.
D.J. Reed, CB, Detroit Lions
In the dominant 31-10 victory against the Cleveland Browns, Reed did not disappoint. He earned his first interception of the season, racking up 34 yards after the pick. Reed was a menace in coverage, putting up three pass deflections and four total tackles.
Sadly, Reed would exit the game early, as he suffered what looked to be a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter. He had to be carted off the field and is expected to miss four weeks.
Cornelius Lucas, RT, Cleveland Browns
It was a rough outing for Lucas in his 67 snaps against the Lions. He allowed two sacks and nine pressures, as well as drawing a penalty. Lucas faced off against one of the league’s best pass rushers, Aidan Hutchinson, 17 times in the matchup.
There are questions in the air regarding how this will affect his role on the team moving forward, and only time will tell.
