As the Knights enter their bye week, it’s time to see how some alumni are panning out in the National Football League (NFL).

With week six of the NFL around the corner, six former Knights find themselves on 53-man active rosters, including edge rusher Malachi Lawrence, running back RJ Harvey, defensive backs Mac McWilliams and Mike Hughes, offensive lineman Tylan Grable, and long snapper Alex Ward.

Four former Knights are currently on practice squads, including edge rusher Nyjalik Kelly (Packers), wide receiver Brandon Johnson (Steelers), offensive lineman Paul Rubelt (Buccaneers), and defensive tackle Ricky Barber (Commanders).

Offensive lineman Amari Knight, formerly with the Seattle Seahawks, was waived with an injury settlement in early September, however, he has most recently worked out with the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 6.

On the other hand, two former Knights found themselves on injury reserve. As of Oct. 6, defensive tackle Kalia Davis was designated to return to practice, opening his 21-day window to return, according to the Cleveland Browns website.

After signing with the New England Patriots as an undrafted rookie in the spring, running back Myles Montgomery suffered an undisclosed injury during training camp and was waived in August. However, after clearing waivers, Montgomery found himself on New England’s season-ending IR list.

The current stats of the six Knights on active rosters can be found below, according to ESPN.

While he hasn’t recorded a touchdown this season, he has seen plenty of involvement in the rushing attack and the passing game.

Harvey has recorded 15 carries for 56 yards on the ground and 20 receptions for 132 yards.
