How Former Hoosiers Fared in Week 14 of the NFL Season

Written by Evan McShane

Several notable Hoosiers found themselves active on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday. A dozen former Indiana football players have carved out a role in some capacity for an NFL team. It's been an up-and-down year for the running backs as Tevin Coleman and Jordan Howard have both battled injuries throughout the season. Here's a recap of what all the Hoosiers in the NFL were up to during week 14.

Tevin Coleman – San Francisco 49ers

Tevin Coleman was limited in San Francisco's shootout victory over the New Orleans Saints. Coleman received just 3 carries for 6 yards and no receptions. As the 49ers enter the home stretch, they will look to secure a first-round bye in the playoffs.

Jordan Howard – Philadelphia Eagles

Jordan Howard was inactive once again for the Eagles overtime victory over the New York Giants.

Ian Thomas – Carolina Panthers

Ian Thomas has found a role in the Carolina Panthers offense late in the season. After posting his best performance of the year last week, Thomas one-upped his production this week. Thomas hauled in 5 receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown. Although Carolina's season is lost, Ian Thomas is making the case to be the Panthers' tight end of the future.
