BOCA RATON, Fla. – Week 4 of the 2023 NFL season is in the books with six former Florida Atlantic Owls seeing action. Here's a rundown of how each performed during the fourth week (All gametimes listed below are Eastern):
Â

Titans' Record:Â 2-2
Next Game: at Indianapolis – Sunday, 1 p.m. (CBS)
Â
#88 Harrison Bryant | TE | Cleveland Browns
- Bryant played 12 offensive snaps in the 28-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, recording one catch. He also made his mark on special teams, playing a season high 14 snaps and making one tackle.
