Week 5 features 14 games with Gamecocks having ties to NFL teams.

This week’s action began this past Thursday when Stephon Gilmore helped the Colts beat the Broncos. The Rock Hill native had a huge fourth quarter interception in the end zone before breaking up a pass in the end zone in overtime to secure the win.

Like last week, this week’s Sunday slate begins with an early kickoff across the pond in London with the Giants taking on the Packers.

Here’s a look at which South Carolina players to keep an eye on today as well as any injury updates.

Note: The Gamecocks in the NFL weekly guide won’t always include game day injury statuses. Players who are placed on IR (+) or on practice squad (*) will have marks next to their names. (q) are for players who are questionable, (o) are for players who are out.
