Did he only play on special teams?

I was half watching the 4th quarter in a bar in KC (after leaving the Twins debacle early), saw Board on a Ravens kickoff. Didn't see him at LB.
Their starting MLB went down so his role may be expanding especially if they suffer yet another injury at the position. It also appears the Jaguars are not carrying too many LB's on the active roster so if there is an injury there Deluca could find himself on the active roster pretty quickly.
Billy Turner was pretty awesome yesterday filling in for an injured (surprise, surprise) Jared Veldheer.
Brandon Perna of That's Good Sports gave him some props in his own weird perverse way (12:10 - careful, he's not safe for work most of the times).

Billy Turner ready to go this weekend: https://www.denverpost.com/2018/09/2...de=WebAccessSP

Broncos right tackle Jared Veldheer’s concussion kept him out of a second consecutive practice on Thursday, putting his status for Sunday’s game at Baltimore further in doubt.
But in Billy Turner, the Broncos feel they have a more-than-serviceable option.
Turner, 26, would be making his first start in two years (one apiece at left guard and left tackle for Miami). Since then, he has been waived by the Dolphins and Ravens and joined the Broncos in October 2016.
Turner played the final 34 snaps in place of Veldheer against Oakland this past Sunday. Per the Denver Post game charting, Turner had only one “bad” run play (gain of three or fewer yards not including short-yardage).
“We were really pleased with Billy,” offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said. “He came in and pass protected and run blocked well. That was huge.”
Said Turner: “I played all right. Obviously, it wasn’t perfect by any means, but it gave me something to look at to know what to improve on.”
The Broncos rallied from a 12-0 halftime deficit to win 20-19.
Veldheer worked in a helmet (no pads) off to the side during the media viewing period Thursday.
Turner spent the first two weeks of the regular season rotating between right and left tackle. He said playing exclusively right tackle this week “is no different.”
“I always have a good feel for the game plan because I’m always in my (play) book and I know my opponent,” he said.
The Broncos’ offensive line has allowed only two sacks in two games.
“There is great synergy in the room,” Musgrave said. “We have good parts but the sum of the parts is probably greater.”

Ramon Humber lit up Diggs against the Vikings on a play near the sidelines. I had to quit watching that game and switched over to the Iggles. He's kind of a forgotten one... he's had himself a nice long NFL career.
UDFA in 2009. 2018 Salary of $915,000. Very nice career.
