The Los Angeles Chargers and quarterback Philip Rivers pulled out a 17-16 road win at the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

Rivers squared off against Raiders cornerback David Amerson, who made a return to the starting lineup after suffering a concussion earlier this month.

Here is a look at how the former Wolfpack players suiting up in the NFL did Sunday:

Cornerback David Amerson (Played at NC State from 2010-12), Oakland Raiders: Returned to the starting lineup after missing a game due to a concussion. He had four tackles (three solo) and one fumble recovery, but the Raiders lost 17-16 at home to the Los Angeles Chargers. He has 15 tackles, four passes defended and one fumble recovery for the 2-4 Raiders.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett (2014-15), Indianapolis Colts: The Colts play at the Tennessee Titans at 8:30 p.m. on Monday Night Football. He has connected on 77 of 127 throws for 997 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions, and has rushed 22 times for 83 yards and three scores for the 2-3 Colts.

Cornerback Juston Burris (2012-15), New York Jets: Came off the bench in his return from injury, but didn’t record any statistics in a 24-17 home loss to the New England Patriots. He has eight tackles, an interception and one pass defended for the 3-3 Jets.

Running back Matthew Dayes (2013-16), Cleveland Browns: The rookie seventh-rounder played in the Browns’ 33-17 road loss at the Houston Texans, but didn’t record any statistics. He has rushed four times for nine yards and caught two passes for nine yards for the 0-6 Browns.

Quarterback Mike Glennon (2009-12), Chicago Bears: The Bears topped the Baltimore Ravens 27-24 in overtime, but he did not play. He has completed 93 of 140 passes for 833 yards with five touchdowns and five interceptions for the 2-4 Bears.

Tight end David J. Grinnage (2013-15), Jacksonville Jaguars: Was signed in August and added to the Jaguars’ practice squad after final cuts were made. The Jacksonville Jaguars fell at home 27-17 to the Los Angeles Rams and are 3-3 on the season.

Kicker Stephen Hauschka (2007), Buffalo Bills: The Bills had a bye week. He has gone 11 of 12 on field goals, including four from beyond 50 yards, and he has made all eight extra points for the 3-2 Bills.

Cornerback Dontae Johnson (2010-13), San Francisco 49ers: Had three tackles and one pass defended in a 26-24 road loss to Washington. He has 29 tackles and three passes defended for the 0-6 49ers.

Safety Josh Jones (2014-16), Green Bay Packers: Made two tackles, both solo, and broke up a pass, but the Packers fell 23-10 to the Minnesota Vikings on the road. He has 25 tackles, two sacks and one pass defended for the 4-2 Packers.

Offensive lineman Ted Larsen (2006-09), Miami Dolphins: He had been expected to start at left guard for the Dolphins, but tore his biceps in the preseason. He was placed on injured reserve, but was designated for a possible return. The earliest he can come back for the Dolphins is Nov. 5 against Oakland. Miami improved to 3-2 with a 20-17 road win over the Atlanta Falcons.
