Utes in the Pros: Week 8
10/26/2023 2:00 PM | Football
SALT LAKE CITY – Several division-leading teams across the NFL have a Utah connection as the league begins Week 8 action on Thursday night. A total of 23 Utah Football alumni are currently on NFL rosters with 17 expected to suit up in this weekend's games.
At least one Pro Ute will be featured in 10 games nearly cover-to-cover across the Week 8 schedule. Dalton Kincaid and the Buffalo Bills will host Tampa Bay on Thursday Night Football, with the Utah connections continuing through Sunday Night Football on NBC when Jaylon Johnson's Chicago Bears head out West to take on the LA Chargers.

Week 8 (players on active rosters)
The Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, and San Francisco 49ers are each currently atop their respective divisions. Each club has at least one Utah connection on the field or the sidelines. It's both in the case of the Eagles, with offensive coordinator Brian Johnson in his third season on staff, while former Ute Alex Whittingham continues his sixth season with the Chiefs as defensive quality control coach.
