The second week of the 2014 NFL preseason begins Thursday evening. As of Wednesday morning, there remains 36 former Iowa players currently listed on NFL rosters. One player — Philadelphia Eagles center Julian Vandervelde — is currently out of action after recently having back surgery.

Below is a list of this week’s preseason games in the NFL, including which former Iowa players are with which teams. Included will be a list of television stations in Iowa carrying preseason games of two Midwest teams — the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. The Packers’ game Aug. 16 against the Rams is also being nationally carried on NFL Network for those not listed in the Iowa markets below.

There are also eight nationally televised preseason games, including the Aug. 16 contest on NFL Network between the Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys, both of whom feature pairs of former Hawkeyes. The Ravens have Marshal Yanda and Brett Van Sloten, while the Cowboys have rookies Anthony Hitchens and Casey Kreiter.
