Chargers' Justin Herbert: Not seen at practice

11m ago

Herbert (ankle) wasn't spotted during the initial portion of Wednesday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Per Popper, Herbert's current ankle issue is on the same side (right) as the plantar fascia injury that the QB dealt with in training camp. Meanwhile Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports that coach Jim Harbaugh noted that Herbert was feeling a lot better Wednesday, while acknowledging that Easton Stick would be in line to fill in Sunday against the Steelers if Herbert doesn't progress enough this week to be available for the contest.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Dealing with ankle injury

2h ago

Herbert (ankle) will be listed on Wednesday's injury report and may not be a full participant in practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

X-rays on Herbert's lower right leg Monday were negative, but it looks like he did pick up an ankle injury during Los Angeles' 26-3 win over the Panthers in Week 2. The franchise quarterback suffered the injury in the third quarter, but he was able to finish the contest after getting taped up. At this juncture, there's not yet any indication that Herbert is dealing with an injury that could impact his availability Sunday versus the Steelers, but it's possible his effectiveness as a runner could be hampered. Herbert's official practice level Wednesday will provide more clarity on his health.

Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Move to IR official

20h ago

The Dolphins placed Tagovailoa (concussion) on injured reserve Tuesday.

As a result of the transaction, Tagovailoa will miss at least the next four games, and with the Dolphins holding a Week 6 bye, the quarterback won't be eligible for activation until after Week 7. Tagovailoa remains without an official timeline to rejoin the Dolphins, and he'll meet with outside neurologists this week. He has suffered four documented concussions in the past five years, and though he reportedly has no plans to retire from football, he'll need to clear all five steps of the NFL's concussion protocol before returning. The Dolphins signed Tyler Huntley off the Ravens' practice squad to replace Tagovailoa on the 53-man roster, but Skylar Thompson will step in as Miami's starting quarterback Sunday in Seattle.

Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Headed for IR

21h ago

The Dolphins plan to place Tagovailoa (concussion) on injured reserve in the coming days, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.

Tagovailoa will be ineligible to play in any of the Dolphins' next four games after the transaction becomes official, which could keep him sidelined until at least Week 8. Though he reportedly isn't considering retirement after sustaining his fourth documented concussion in the past five years, the Dolphins aren't offering a timeline for his return while he meets with outside neurologists and awaits clearance through the NFL's concussion protocol. Skylar Thompson, who relieved Tagovailoa against the Bills last Thursday, is slated to take over as the Dolphins' starting quarterback beginning with Sunday's game in Seattle.

Rams' Stetson Bennett: Roster spot remains intact

23h ago

The Rams are expected to keep Bennett on the 53-man roster behind Jimmy Garoppolo and Matthew Stafford, Cameron DaSilva of USAToday reports.

Bennett would likely have been cut following Garoppolo's reinstatement from a two-game suspension, were it not for the fact that a slew of injuries have provided Los Angeles with plenty of extra roster spots. Still, the 2023 fourth-round pick is coming off a rough preseason, in which he threw five INTs in just two appearances, and it still doesn't appear he has the coaching staff's trust. McVay said Monday that he "didn't want to put [Bennett] in a situation where he has never taken some of the snaps and exchanges," which kept the depth quarterback from entering Week 2's loss to the Cardinals late.

Dolphins' Skylar Thompson: Slated to start Week 3

23h ago

Thompson is in line to serve as the Dolphins' starting quarterback for Sunday's game in Seattle, Jonathan Jones of CBSSports.com reports.

According to Jones, the Dolphins are proceeding "day by day" in deciding whether Tua Tagovailoa will require a stint on injured reserve after he was diagnosed with his fourth documented concussion in the past five years. At the very least, the Dolphins aren't planning on Tagovailoa being available for the Week 3 game, so Thompson will step in for his first start since 2022. Thompson has made eight regular-season appearances overall through his first three years in the NFL, completing 68 of 119 pass attempts (57.1 percent) for 614 yards (5.2 YPA), one touchdown and three interceptions while adding 25 yards on 15 carries. Given the poor efficiency he's displayed as a passer thus far in addition to the likelihood that the Dolphins deploy a run-heavy game plan in Week 3, Thompson looks to be a low-end lineup option in fantasy leagues that start two quarterbacks or have a superflex spot.
