Illini in the NFL: Week 16 Update

We’re nearing the end of the NFL season. There’s just one more week to go. Some Illini will make the playoffs. Others will not.

Kudos to Clayton Fejedelem, a man who welcomed a baby boy into his family and nailed two big special teams plays in the only way Fej could for his Miami Dolphins.

Jihad Ward, defensive end: Last week against the Jaguars, Ward was a healthy scratch. Ward played in Weeks 13 and 14, missed Week 15 — and in this Week 16, Ward was active against the New York Giants on Sunday.
