Pro Boilers: Week 7 in the NFL

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The week seven NFL slate featured seven active Pro Boilers and included three playing in a primetime game.  

Tyrone Tracy Jr. scored his first touchdown of the season on a 31-yard rush against the Broncos. It was the third longest rushing touchdown of his NFL career and his seventh score as a pro.


Tracy finished the game with nine carries for 46 yards and a touchdown. He raised his season rushing total to 120 yards on 35 attempts. 

Derrick Barnes finished with five tackles, a sack and a tackle-for-loss in a 24-9 Lions' victory over the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.


Barnes is second on the Lions with 43 tackles and tied for third with three sacks. He is one of 20 linebackers in the NFL with at least three sacks this season. 

Last week on Tuesday, Oct. 14, David Bell announced his retirement from the NFL due to an off-field injury. A third-round pick (99th overall) in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, Bell concluded his career with 41 receptions for 408 yards and three touchdowns.


Bell was a star in his three years at Purdue from 2019-21 when he totaled 232 receptions for 2,946 yards and 21 touchdowns. He was a consensus All-American and Big Ten Receiver of the Year in 2021, the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2019 and an All-Big Ten selection every season.
