BOCA RATON, Fla. – Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season is in the books with five former Florida Atlantic Owls seeing action. Here's a rundown of how each performed during the second week (All gametimes listed below are Eastern):
Active Owls (5)
#0 Azeez Al-Shaair | LB | Houston Texans
- Al-Shaair impressed in primetime on Sunday Night Football, recording 10 tackles, a sack, and a quarterback hit in their 19-10 win over the Chicago Bears. The Texans move to 2-0 with the fifth-year linebacker not missing a single snap over the first two games.
Texans' Record: 2-0
Next Game: at Minnesota – Sunday, 1 p.m. (CBS)
#84 Harrison Bryant | TE | Las Vegas Raiders
- Bryant saw the field for 18 total snaps in a 26-23 come-from-behind upset victory over the Baltimore Ravens.
Raiders' Record: 1-1
Next Game: vs. Carolina – Sunday, 4:05 p.m. (CBS)
#91 Trey Hendrickson | DE | Cincinnati Bengals
- While the Bengals came up just short in a last-second 26-25 defeat, Hendrickson created a miserable day for the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive line, wreaking havoc all afternoon on his way with two sacks and three quarterback hits. He received praise throughout the game from broadcasters Jim Nantz and Tony Romo and was referred to as an "absolute monster" by Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes in his postgame press conference. Hendrickson is currently the NFL's leader in pass rush win rate among edge rushers at 39%, despite facing a double team 30% of the time.
Bengals' Record: 0-2
Next Game: vs. Washington – Monday, 8:15 p.m. (ABC)
#43 Matthew Hayball | P | New Orleans Saints
- Fortunately for the Saints, Hayball did not have to to see the field for punting purposes until the fourth quarter in a 44-19 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. In his one punt on the afternoon, he successfully pinned Dallas' offense at their own 12 in a drive that saw them go four-and-out.
Saints' Record: 2-0
Next Game: vs. Philadelphia – Sunday, 1 p.m. (FOX)
#26 Devin Singletary | RB | New York Giants
- "Motor" is already making his mark as the Giants lead back, recording his first touchdown of the season. There was more to come for Singletary on the afternoon, going for 95 yards on 16 carries with long runs of 22 and 18 yards. New York fell to the Washington Commanders on a last second field goal, 21-18.
Giants' Record: 0-2
Next Game: at Cleveland – Sunday, 1 p.m. (FOX)
Practice Squad (4)
#69 Evan Anderson | DT | San Francisco 49ers
