Zechariah Sample - GTD for Week 4 Sample (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Incarnate Word, Caleb Yum of the Austin American-Statesman reports.

Zechariah Sample - Catches two passes in debut Sample (undisclosed) caught two passes for seven yards during Saturday's win over North Texas.

Impact Sample had a quiet outing in his debut after missing the first two games of the season due to an undisclosed injury. He'll look to be more involved offensively during the Week 5 matchup versus Incarnate Word.

Beau Sparks - One reception in return Sparks (undisclosed) reeled in one of two targets for six yards during Saturday's 49-35 win over North Texas.

Impact Sparks rejoined the Bobcats' receiving corps after a one-game absence, catching his only reception early in the first quarter before failing to record another catch.
