#PackPros Shine During Week 2 of NFL Preseason

As the preseason continues to unfold, Wolfpack alumni have maintained their impact on the field. During Week 2 of the preseason, more members of #PackPros hit the field:

Earl Wolff highlighted the defensive alumni with an impressive Saturday night. Wolff played 31 snaps for the Jacksonville Jaguars, during which he led the team in tackles with six. He also forced a fumble against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Cornerbacks David Amerson, Juston Burris, and Dontae Johnson each found playing time as well. Amerson had two tackles for the Oakland Raiders, Burris found one assist and defended two passes for the New York Jets, and Johnson had four tackles and three passes defended for the San Francisco 49ers.

Audie Cole helped the Minnesota Vikings to victory with two tackles, and fellow linebacker alumnus Nate Irving had a good showing for the Indianapolis Colts with two tackles and four assists.

Irving's Indianapolis teammate T.Y. McGill was consistent with his performance last week, walking away with 3 combined tackles. This week, however, he also managed to find his way into the pocket to bring down the Raven's quarterback during the third quarter.

T.Y. McGill has arguably been Colts' best defensive lineman so far this season. He followed up a sack by forcing an intentional grounding

Beyond making a name for himself defensively, he's also developed a reputation for his dance moves as well.

Three #PackPros, Jacoby Brisset, Joe Thuney and Markus Kuhn, helped the Patriots to a close-margined victory. Despite being a rookie, Thuney continued to prove his ability to impact the game as a start at guard, while fellow rookie Brissett was 9-of-13 for 87 yards. Kuhn made one tackle Thursday night.

The final defensive appearances came from defensive ends Mike Rose and Mario Williams. Rose made one tackle for the New York Giants, and Williams had two combined tackles for the Miami Dolphins.

On the offensive side, Russell Wilson had a strong opening drive, going 3-for-3 for 48 yards, 31 of which came from a perfectly timed pass to Tyler Lockett. In total, Wilson completed 5-of-11 attempts for 77 yards. Buccaneers' Mike Glennon completed 11-0f-19 attempts for 120 yards, scoring one touchdown along the way.

Seahawks' kicker Steven Hauschka added three points to the board with a 49-yard field goal for the Seahawks.

Looking ahead, Wolfpack linebacker Stephen Tulloch has been signed by the Eagles on a one-year contract. After being released by the Detroit Lions earlier this summer, Philadelphia will likely look to Tulloch to fill a gap left by Joe Walker, who will miss the season with an ACL injury. In 2015, Tulloch completed 107 tackles for the Lions.
