Utes in the Pros: 2022 NFL Week 12; Week 11 Recap

SALT LAKE CITY – Thirteen former Utes are set to suit up, and 24 players with ties to the program are on NFL rosters as we head into Week 12 of the 2022 season.

Nine different games this coming Sunday are slated to feature former Utes, including three contests kicking off at 11 a.m. here on the Wasatch Front. Monday Night Football will see former Utes Julian Blackmon and Zack Moss take on the Pittsburgh Steelers to close the week.

On Sunday, we will have brothers facing off as Jackson Barton and the Las Vegas Raiders take on Cody Barton and the Seattle Seahawks at 2:05 p.m. MT. Tyler Huntley and Baltimore will square off against Devin Lloyd and Jacksonville at 11 a.m. MT. The last game that will put two former players against each other is when New Orleans (Nephi Sewell) travels west to take on San Francisco (Mitch Wishnowsky) at 2:25 p.m. MT.

Prior to this week, former Ute Hunter Thedford was signed to the New England practice squad. He was a member of the 2019 Utes and played in all 14 games of that season.

For those updating Patriots practice squad rosters at home, please assign OT Hunter Thedford number 68.
