#FromStateToSundays: Week 7 Preview
October 24, 2021 | Football
There will only be five NFL games featuring former Mississippi State players this week.
But four of those contests will be battles between former Bulldogs including a Monday Night Football matchup between J.T. Gray and the New Orleans Saints at the Seattle Seahawks and Gabe Jackson.
Sunday's action will start with four defensive greats in one game. Chris Jones, Willie Gay Jr. and the Kansas City Chiefs kickoff the day at the Tennessee Titans at noon on CBS. The Titans' have Denico Autry and Jeffery Simmons on their defensive line and are vying for their third straight win.
Another showdown at noon pits Montez Sweat and the Washington Football Team against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Fox. The Packers have four former MSU players on their active roster in Hunter Bradley, Elgton Jenkins, Kylin Hill and Preston Smith.
In Sunday's mid-afternoon action, Darius Slay and Fletcher Cox of the Philadelphia Eagles travel to Sin City to take on Johnathan Abram, K.J. Wright and the Las Vegas Raiders. That game is slated for a 3:05 start on Fox.
The lone game that isn't a head-to-head meeting between former Bulldogs this week is in Baltimore. The Ravens, featuring Tyree Phillips and Pernell McPhee, host the Cincinnati Bengals at noon on CBS.
In other news, the New York Giants signed linebacker Benardrick McKinney to its practice squad on Tuesday.
