Wrapping up how Utah's players on active NFL rosters performed in Week Twelve:
Minnesota running back Matt Asiata • Asiata was inactive due to a concussion for the Vikings' 24-21 loss to the Packers. He did not practice all week, per league protocol, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Jacksonville offensive lineman Zane Beadles • The Jaguars are still in search of win No. 2 after a 23-3 loss to the Jaguars, and Beadles told the Florida Times-Union that the defense did its job while the offense fell flat.
Oakland guard Tony Bergstrom • Bergstrom was ruled inactive for the Raiders' 24-20 win against the Chiefs.
Cleveland outside linebacker Paul Kruger • Kruger had two sacks, forcing a fumble from Falcons' quarterback Matt Ryan. He now has eight sacks, one short of his career high in 2012 with the Ravens. Watch Kruger's postgame interview here. Teammate and former Utah scout team member Josh Gordon caught eight passes for 120 yards in his first game back from a 10-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's drug policy.
Carolina defensive tackle Star Lotulelei • The Panthers are on a bye, perhaps giving Lotulelei time to recover after rolling his ankle against Philadelphia.
Pittsburgh cornerback Brice McCain • The Steelers are on a bye. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review writes that McCain's off game against the Jets was an aberration.
Oakland cornerback Keith McGill • McGill recorded a tackle on special teams.
Miami linebacker Koa Misi • Misi made seven tackles in the Dolphins' 39-36 loss to the Broncos. More important: Koa Misi's first child, a son, was born earlier this week.
San Diego defensive tackle Tenny Palepoi • Palepoi made three tackles, including one for a loss when he tripped up Tre Mason, in the Chargers' 27-24 win against the Rams.
New York Jets outside linebacker Trevor Reilly • The Jets' game against the Bills was postponed to Monday night, but Reilly is out with a knee injury.
Miami defensive end Derrick Shelby • Shelby made two tackles in the loss.
New England defensive tackle Sealver Siliga • Siliga physically returned to practice but was not on the roster for the Pats in a 34-9 win over the Lions. The Boston Herald has more on his injury status.
Kansas City cornerback Sean Smith • Smith made four tackles in the Chiefs' loss.
Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith • Smith went 20-for-36 for 234 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions — he has thrown just one of the latter since the first week — but Kansas City lost to a team that had lost 16 straight .
Baltimore wideout Steve Smith Sr. • The Ravens play the Saints on Monday night. The Associated Press wrote about New Orleans' familiarity with Smith.
Atlanta defensive tackle Paul Soliai • Soliai made two tackles — one for a loss.
San Diego safety Eric Weddle • Weddle made nine tackles, deflected a pass and recovered a blocked field goal in the Chargers' win. Earlier this week, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote about Weddle's rise to his status as one of the NFL's best safeties.
