Knights in the Pros Update: Week Nine

ORLANDO – In a matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Atlanta Falcons, second-year safety Richie Grant made his presence felt. In the third quarter, Grant caught an interception off a tipped ball, his second of the season. He also finished the day with 11 tackles and one pass defended for the Falcons.
 


Grant has been an absolute workhorse for the Falcons this year. According to FantasyPros, Grant is second in defensive snaps played, with 619. Grant has also played every defensive snap in seven games this year.

Kicker Matt Prater continued his perfect season for the Arizona Cardinals, as he made three extra points against the Seahawks. Prater has been perfect on extra point attempts seven times in his career. While Prater has yet to have a perfect season on field goal attempts, he led the league in field goal percentage in 2013, making 96.2% of his kicks.

Trysten Hill, who was placed on waivers by the Cowboys last week, was claimed by the Cardinals. Hill has six total tackles on the year.
