Every week, DI football reporter Charlie Green will provide updates on all former Iowa football players in the NFL.

Jonathan Babineaux, DT, Atlanta Falcons

Babineaux recorded four tackles in a 24-0 win over the Giants, and the Falcons moved to 2-0.

Bryan Bulaga, OT, Green Bay Packers

Bulaga injured his knee last week in practice. He missed last night’s game against Seattle, and may be out through October as well.

Scott Chandler, TE, New England Patriots

In his second game catching passes from a future Hall of Famer, Chandler hauled in three for 23 yards.

Adrian Clayborn, DE, Atlanta Falcons

Clayborn started but had no tackles for Atlanta on Sunday.

Colin Cole, DL, Carolina Panthers

The reserve had an assisted tackle as the Panthers beat Houston 24-17.

Carl Davis, DL, Baltimore Ravens

The rookie recorded no tackles, and the Raiders topped Baltimore for the first time since 2003.

Andrew Donnal, OT, St. Louis Rams

Donnal is a developmental stage of his young career, and might not see the field much in 2015.

Mike Daniels, DE, Green Bay Packers

Daniels had three tackles, one sack, and helped hold Marshawn Lynch to 41 yards on 15 carries in the Packers’ 27-17 win.

James Ferentz, C, Denver Broncos

A reserve, Ferentz could be called into action if Denver’s line continues to struggle.

C.J. Fiedorowicz, TE, Houston Texans

Texans quarterback Ryan Mallett threw 58 times on Sunday, one of which was caught by Fiedorowicz for 19 yards.

Bradley Fletcher, CB, New England Patriots

Fletcher had four tackles and a forced fumbles as the Patriots blew out Buffalo.

Chad Greenway, LB, Minnesota Vikings

He had two tackles as the Vikings moved to 1-1 against the Lions. The veteran played just 16 snaps, as Minnesota primarily went with its nickel package. Greenway’s days as a premier linebacker in the NFL appear to be winding down.

Anthony Hitchens, LB, Dallas Cowboys

Sean Lee stole the show for Dallas in week two, but Hitchens got in on the action with two tackles and a sack in the Cowboys’ win.

Micah Hyde, DB, Green Bay Packers

Six tackles and a fumble recovery for the third year ex-Hawk in Week 2. Hyde was all over the field against the Seahawks.

Christian Kirksey, LB, Cleveland Browns

Kirksey recorded two tackles in the Browns win over Tennessee.

Karl Klug, DE, Tennessee Titans

Klug figures to see limited action this year as a rotational piece on the Titans defensive front. He’s often described as having a “great motor,” which could also mean he’s limited from an athletic standpoint. Still, he’s managed to stick around for five years in the NFL, with 14.5 career sacks to his name.

Brandon Myers, TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa is trying to keep things simple for rookie quarterback Jameis Winston, going run-heavy. He threw just 21 passes on Sunday, and Myers likely won’t see a lot of targets this year, but figures to play more of a blocking role in the run game.

Riley Reiff, OT, Detroit Lions

The 0-2 Lions are in serious trouble if they cannot get their run game going. Against the Vikings their top rushers were as follows: 1. Matthew Stafford (4 carries, 20 yards), Ameer Abdullah (six carries, nine yards), Theo Riddick (one carry, five yards), and Joique Bell (four carries, two yards). Stafford threw the ball 53 times as well. Reiff and Company are losing the battle up front — it’s that simple.

Brandon Scherff, OG, Washington Redskins

The team from Washington, D.C. ran for 182 yards against the league’s best defensive line, and it’s no coincidence that Scherff recently arrived.

Matt Tobin, OT, Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles, on the other hand, have problems on the ground. It took DeMarco Murray 13 carries to muster up two yards. As a team they ran for just nine total. You can blame Chip Kelly all you want, but his offensive line didn’t cut it on Sunday.

Marshal Yanda, OG, Baltimore Ravens

Saving the best for last. The Ravens lost, but Flacco had nice protection all day and was never sacked. This offensive line is in the discussion for tops in the league, and Yanda is the best of the bunch.
