UConn in the NFL – Week 3
Week 3 left us with some good and some bad for our UConn alums in the NFL. A pair of former Huskies are doing quite well for themselves in San Diego. Donald Brown had a nice game, and now with Woodhead being out for the year, and Mathews not coming back for a few weeks, he is definately THE guy in San Diego out of the backfield for the next few weeks. Kendall Reyes had a nice game as well, getting his first sack of the season, and was a big part of a defense that held Buffalo’s running game in check. Also, have to mention Danny Lansanah’s pick 6 against ATL.
On the negative side, injuries played a huge part of week 3 for our UConn alums. Tyvon Branch was having a nice game for Oakland, until he left with what’s being reported as a fractured foot. Branch missed most of last season, and this latest injury looks to keep him out for a considerable amount of time. That’s too bad, because Tyvon was reminding us all how good of a player he is, looking really good over the first 3 weeks. Marcus Easley also left the game with an MCL sprain. He’ll likely be out 4-6 weeks. Also, LB Sio Moore was inactive with an ankle injury.
