While Purdue looks to bounce back in West Lafayette, several former Boilermakers will look to make an impact on Sundays this fall. Some play prominent roles, while others struggled their way through training camp. Today, GoldandBlack.com looks at how former Purdue players fared in Week 13 of the NFL Season.

It’s another Thursday home game for Detroit this week as it hosts Dallas on Thursday night.
