In addition to those who were on active rosters, three former Gophers spent last weekend on the practice squad for their respective NFL teams. Marcus Sherels is on the practice squad for the Minnesota Vikings, Traye Simmons is with the San Diego Chargers and Logan Payne is on the New York Jets' practice squad. Meanwhile, Mark Setterstrom remains on the physically unable to perform list of the St. Louis Rams, and Ben Hamilton of the Seattle Seahawks and Dominique Barber of the Houston Texans are each on the injured reserved list of their respective teams.
