Three former Arkansas football players were involved in transactions following Week 7 of the NFL season.
Fullback Kiero Small and defensive end Chris Smith were promoted to the Cleveland Browns' and Jacksonville Jaguars' 53-man rosters, respectively, while offensive tackle DeMarcus Love was signed to the New Orleans Saints' practice squad.
With the promotions, Small and Smith become the 14th and 15th former Razorbacks on an NFL 53-man roster.
Small was was originally a seventh-round draft pick by the Seattle Seahawks, but he was waived and picked up by Cleveland, where he spent the first seven weeks of the season on the practice squad.
Smith was a fifth-round pick by the Jaguars and made the team out of training camp. However, he was waived following Jacksonville's Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and signed to the Jaguars' practice squad a few days later.
While he has not appeared in an NFL game, Love has spent time with three other teams before being signed by New Orleans.
Love was a sixth-round draft pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2011 and made the team, but was inactive for all 16 games. He spent the following season on injured reserve with a pectoral injury and was released after serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy at the beginning of the 2013 season.
The Jacksonville Jaguars then picked him up and Love finished the season without seeing the field. Over the summer, the New York Giants signed him, but released him the next month.
Because the Philadelphia Eagles had a bye week, Jason Peters did not play, but here is a look at how the other 12 former Arkansas players on NFL 53-man rosters performed during Week 7.
Alvin Bailey - Seattle Seahawks
All 11 of Bailey's offensive snaps during the Seahawks' 28-26 loss to the St. Louis Rams came as a sixth offensive lineman. On one of those plays, he was called for holding, which negated a Marshawn Lynch touchdown run. He also played four special teams snaps.
Knile Davis - Kansas City Chiefs
Davis accounted for 92 all-purpose yards in the Chiefs' 23-20 win over the San Diego Chargers. He carried the ball 10 times for 25 yards, caught one pass for 11 yards and returned three kickoffs for 56 yards.
Jerry Franklin - Kansas City Chiefs
In that same game, Franklin made one solo tackle.
Nate Garner - Miami Dolphins
Starting center Daryn Colledge was injured during the Dolphins' 27-14 win over the Chicago Bears, forcing Garner to play for one series. While he was in the game, Garner allowed a sack.
Brett Goode - Green Bay Packers
The Packers made one field goal, five extra points and punted five times during their 38-17 win over the Carolina Panthers. Goode was the long snapper on all 11 kicks.
Chris Gragg - Buffalo Bills
Gragg caught two passes for 19 yards in the Bills' 17-16 win over the Minnesota Vikings
Peyton Hillis - New York Giants
Hillis was productive in limited action during the Giants' 31-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He gained 29 yards on six carries. That is an average of 4.8 yards per carry. He also caught one pass for four yards.
Ryan Mallett - Houston Texans
For the seventh straight week, Mallett was active, but did not play. Starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick played better than in recent weeks, but threw a costly interception and had a Total QBR of 64.8 in the Texans' 30-23 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Darren McFadden - Oakland Raiders
McFadden scored his second touchdown of the season in the Raiders' 24-13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He carried the ball 14 times for 48 yards and also caught four passes for seven yards.
Travis Swanson - Detroit Lions
Swanson played a career-high five offensive snaps during the Lions' 24-23 win over the New Orleans Saints. All five snaps came as a sixth offensive lineman. The increase in snaps is a result of the Lions' injuries at the tight end position. Swanson also played nine special teams snaps.
George Wilson - Tennessee Titans
Wilson made three solo tackles in the Titans' 19-17 loss to the Washington Redskins.
Jarius Wright - Minnesota Vikings
Wright has been a bright spot during the Vikings' 2-5 season. He leads the team in yards after the catch (161) and is second in receptions (22) and receiving yards (273). He added to those totals in the Vikings' 17-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills, in which he caught four passes for 60 yards.
