T-Birds in the NFL: Week 13 Update

James Cowser 2012-14 (Defensive End, Oakland Raiders) @cowstown

Cowser recorded no stats in the Raiders’ 24-17 win over the New York Giants. His season stats still stand at 18 combined tackles (11 solo and seven assisted) and one forced fumble.

Cowser was also one of many former T-Birds to participate in the “My Cause, My Cleats” week in the NFL. He chose to have his cleats bring more awareness to Crohn’s Disease.

My choice for #mycausemycleats is the @crohnscolitisfoundation . I have seen people I care about battling the impact of this disease, and I wanted to show my support to these incredibly resilient and brave people.
