NFL Week 10 Recap for Former UVA Football Players

Four former players spotted in Week 10 of NFL season Virginia football While the players were seeing the court, four other former Cavaliers were on their bye week. Let’s see how all these former Wahoos and their respective teams perform in Week 10 in this edition of the Hoos in the NFL.

Malik Washington He earned his first career NFL start and had by far the best game of his rookie season with the Miami Dolphins in their Monday Night Football victory over the Los Angeles Rams, scoring the first touchdown of his career in a shutout in which he scored 18 points. A few yards from home, he dives into the end zone for the first touchdown of the game.

Washington also made a big play late in the game; He took a 17-yard touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa, setting up a crucial field goal that would give the Dolphins a two-point lead late in the fourth quarter. Additionally, Washington had three punt returns for 21 yards, including one of 12 yards. In total, Washington played 18 offensive snaps (34% of Miami’s offensive snaps) and seven special teams snaps (25% of Miami’s special teams snaps), breaking the Dolphins’ three-game losing streak. He showed some of his dynamic speed to help him catch by beating. Rams 23-15.

In the only game of the weekend to feature more than one Virginia football alum, Joey Blunt and the Arizona Cardinals defeated the New York Jets 31-6. Blount played no defensive snaps and recorded no statistics, but he played 13 special teams snaps (72%) as the Cards improved to 6-4 on the season. On the other side, Morgan Moses He played every offensive snap at right tackle for the seventh time this season, but the Jets failed to continue the momentum of their blowout win over the Houston Texans in Week 9, falling to 3-7 on the year in a blowout defeat.

Olamide Zaccheaus He made his third start of the season for the Washington Commanders in a 28-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. It was a rough day for Zaccheaus, who had one reception on three targets for eight yards but fumbled two punts, losing one of them.

Brent Urban He missed a second straight game after suffering a concussion against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8, but the Baltimore Ravens were able to beat the Cincinnati Bengals in a 35-34 thriller on Thursday Night Football.

Two other former Cavaliers are on injured reserve. Bryce Hall He injured his ankle in the season opener but was eligible to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 1. Jelani Forest He suffered a toe injury in the preseason and was placed on season-ending IR.
