A pair of former Wildcats have been signed to NFL active rosters entering Week Two of the NFL season.
Former Arizona safety Will Parks signed to the New Yorks Jet on Wednesday, while kicker Lucas Havrisik signed with the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday. Parks played for the Jets during preseason, but was waived during final roster cuts.
Parks, who was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the sixth round in 2016, is entering his seventh season in the NFL — second with the Jets. Parks signed with the Jets last season after a brief stint with the Miami Dolphins. Parks has 180 tackles and four interceptions in his NFL career. The rookie Havrisik was a part of rookie training camp with the Colts after going undrafted in April, but was waived before minicamp. At Arizona, Havrisik was 34-for-53 for field goals and made 73 of 78 extra-point attempts; his career-best is from 57 yards, twice. Havrisik will compete for Indy's starting kicking job with Chase McLaughlin after the Colts waived Rodrigo Blankenship for missing a game-winning kick in overtime on Sunday, tying the Houston Texans 20-20.
