There was quite a bit of positive roster movement with former Gamecocks during week 13 of the NFL season. Zack Bailey saw himself get activated to the main roster for the Chargers. Bryan Edwards has found a new home with the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad, while Edwards would prefer to be on the main roster, going from Marcus Mariota to Patrick Mahomes can't hurt one's career.
The Carolina Panthers, (Jaycee Horn and Shi Smith), and the Arizona Cardinals (Pharoh Cooper), were byes during week 13. Cooper was demoted back to the practice squad for the bye week. We'd expect him to get elevated again if Rondale Moore is out. Mike Davis was a healthy inactive for the Ravens as was Rashad Fenton for the Falcons.
On the field, former Gamecock defensive players carried the load this week as several Carolina alumni had interceptions. Full results below.
