In the first games of Week 2 of the NFL's preseason, several former Alabama stars stood out on their new NFL teams.

With six games taking place Thursday night, three former Crimson Tide standouts made significant contributions to the box score, while others also saw plenty of snaps in the second week of preseason action.

Third-year Cincinnati quarterback AJ McCarron attempted the most passes and threw the only touchdown for his new team in the Bengals' 30-14 win over the Detroit Lions last night. McCarron continued his strong preseason with 95 yards and a 12-yard touchdown on 10-of-15 passing Thursday night as Cincinnati's second quarterback onto the field.

Green Bay running back Eddie Lacy was an early focal point in the Packer offense in the team's 20-12 win over the Oakland Raiders. The slimmed-down tailback rushed for 45 yards and a touchdown on nine carries.

Rookie cornerback Cyrus Jones could be a busy man this fall if he continues to play the way he has this preseason. Last night, against the Chicago Bears, Jones intercepted a pass and returned it 14 yards to set up a New England touchdown. He also recorded one tackle, one pass breakup and returned two punts for 22 yards (an 11-yard average) as a corner and returner.
