Updated: Gators in the NFL

Compiled by Chad Smith, UF Sports Information Dept.

Week 12 of the NFL season featured a total of 45 Gators on 25 of the 32 teams. Now you can add offensive lineman Chaz Green to the total this week after he was signed by the Oakland Raiders on Tuesday and running back Mark Thompson by the Jets.

Green, a 6-foot-5, 318-pound guard, was selected at 91 overall by the Cowboys out of Florida in 2015. Over his three seasons in Dallas, he appeared in 18 contests, making six starts. Green has played both tackle and guard both at Florida and while with the Cowboys.

He was waived in the final roster cuts and was most recently on the Saints’ practice squad before being waived Nov. 21.

On Wednesday, the New York Jets added running back Mark Thompson to their practice squad. It’s his second practice squad since failing to be selected in this year’s draft. He played his college ball at Florida and spent the preseason with Baltimore. Thompson had 31 carries for 146 yards and 10 catches for 76 yards. He spent some time on the Ravens practice squad after being a final cut for the active roster.

[Update] On Saturday, the New York Jets have placed safety Marcus Maye on injured reserve, ending an injury-plagued season for the 2017 second-round draft pick out of the University of Florida.

Maye played in just six games because of various ailments, the most recent being thumb and shoulder injuries. After a solid rookie season, he missed the first three games this year with a foot injury. Maye broke his right thumb in Week 6 and sat out just one game despite having a pin inserted into his hand. He then missed New York’s 27-13 loss to New England last Sunday.

Coach Todd Bowles said during the week that surgery could be an option for Maye, who had a franchise-record 104-yard interception return against Denver in Week 5. It also set the NFL mark for the longest INT return without scoring.
