    Louisville natives

    Corey Peters (Atlanta): The fifth-year defensive tackle, Central High School graduate and former University of Kentucky standout, tallied two tackles in the Falcons’ 24-10 loss at Cincinnati.

    Josh Bellamy (Chicago): The third-year wide receiver, who was activated off the practice squad due to injuries to standout wideouts Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey, didn’t have a catch in his debut with the Bears in their come-from-behind 28-20 Sunday night win at San Francisco.
