Purdue in the Pros: Week 11
Three former Purdue players suited up on NFL rosters in Week 11 of the season. GoldandBlack.com looks at how each Boilermaker fared over the past week.
PAYNE DURHAM – TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Tampa Bay spent Week 11 on bye, holding a 4-6 record. Durham has caught one pass for eight yards, playing mostly as a blocker and on special teams. He’ll see former teammate Tyrone Tracy and the Giants at 1 p.m. E.T. on Sunday.
CHARLIE JONES – CINCINNATI BENGALS
For the third straight week, Jones was inactive for the Bengals’ Sunday night loss to the Chargers as he recovers from a groin injury. He gets a much-needed bye week to recover ahead of a divisional matchup with Pittsburgh on Dec. 1.
RAHEEM MOSTERT – MIAMI DOLPHINS
Mostert played 10 snaps of offense in the Dolphins’ 34-19 win over the Raiders, carrying the ball three times. He missed part of the game with a hip injury, but he returned prior to the final snap. Miami will host New England at 1 p.m. E.T. on Sunday.
SANOUSSI KANE – BALTIMORE RAVENS
Kane played 24 snaps on special teams in the Ravens’ 18-16 loss to the Steelers. He’s continued to establish himself as a versatile special teams weapon for Baltimore, who will head to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers on Monday Night Football.

GEORGE KARLAFTIS – KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Karlaftis played 63 of 73 snaps on defense in the Chiefs’ 30-21 loss to the Bills, their first setback of the season. He recorded five pressures – four hurries and a quarterback hit. As he continues another strong season, Kansas City will look to return to the win column at Carolina at 1 p.m. E.T. on Sunday.
TYRONE TRACY – NEW YORK GIANTS
New York spend Week 11 on its bye, recovering from a rough 2-8 start to the season. Tracy emerged as a positive from the difficult beginning, though. He’s carried 107 times for 545 yards and three touchdowns through his first 10 games as a pro. The Giants host the Buccaneers at 1 p.m. E.T. on Sunday.
CORY TRICE – PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Trice was activated from injured reserve, but he was ruled out for the Steelers’ 18-16 win over the Ravens. Will he be ready to return to the field this week? Pittsburgh faces a quick turnaround, heading to Cleveland for Thursday Night Football.
