Team news: Atlanta Falcons | Page 10

The Falcons’ injury report for Tuesday is the same as the one they handed in on Monday.

Running back Bijan Robinson (hamstring) and right tackle Kaleb McGary (knee) are both listed as limited participants for the second straight day. The Falcons have not held a full practice session yet this week, so their participation level has been an estimate both times.

It remains good news that Robinson is at least limited, which hopefully gives him a chance to play on a short week on Thursday night. Tomorrow's injury report will hopefully give us a little more indication about his status for TNF. If Allgeier is on your wire he should be picked up.

Austin Ekeler just told us on Grant & Danny that he is tracking toward being able to play on Sunday.

Ekeler missed Week 4 but it sounds like he expects to be back on the field against the Browns. The post went on to say Ekeler said he's feeling more like himself as he completes the steps of the concussion protocol. The return of Ekeler likely means less work for McNichols who had a great game in Week 4 in Arizona.

Plan is for Tyler Huntley to start again for Dolphins at QB Sunday vs. Patriots, per HC Mike McDaniel.

It wasn't good in Week 4 but the Dolphins don't really have any other option other than Boyle. No one on the Dolphin offense can really be trusted in fantasy lineups and it seemed like the Titans took away the run game daring Huntley to beat them, which didn't happen. The Dolphins have a bye in Week 6 and Tua is rumored to be back for Week 8, so those holding fantasy players on the Dolphins will need some patience over the next several weeks.

NFL beat reporter Adam Schefter believes Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa will be back this season.

Schefter reported Tua has been symptom free and is feeling better, and, to Schefter's knowledge, Tua hasn't been told he shouldn't come back. Schefter added Tua also wants to come back. At this point, Tagovailoa will need to miss at least two more game since he was placed on IR. Schefter added he'd be surprised if Tua didn't come back. One thing to consider is the Dolphins may need to stay afloat in the playoff race before putting him back on the field. The team sits at 1-3 so far and hasn't shown much life on offense since losing both Tua and Thompson.

Since the Falcons play on Thursday night, they were required to do an estimated practice report Monday even though they didn’t practice. They list Bijan Robinson as limited with a hamstring injury.

Robinson played 36 of 56 snaps against the Saints and had seven carries for 28 yards and four catches for 46 yards in Week 4 and now seems to have another injury to deal with on top of the shoulder injury that popped up last week. On a short week, this could be a bigger deal than it seems, but it's at least some good news that he is listed as limited. It will be worth monitoring leading up to Thursday night, but picking up Allegier, if available, is a good idea.

Colts star RB Jonathan Taylor was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, sources say, thought it’s believed to be a pretty mild version. Indy will get a full report tomorrow, but in the words of one source, “He’s ok.”

There was nothing more in the post regarding a timetable but owners will want to monitor this situation, and we'll likely know more in the coming days. It's at least good news Taylor was said to be "ok" but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be ready to go in Week 5. With Anthony Richardson dealing with a hip injury, the Colts running game really took a hit in Week 4. Sermon is a must-add off the wire, especially if you're a Taylor owner. The Colts are at the Jags in an early game in Week 5 so owners will have time to adjust lineups.

Still no A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) at practice. #Eagles WRs trending toward not playing Sunday at the Bucs.

Things have gotten thin in Philadelphia, and they may have no choice but to try and get Goedert to repeat his 10-170-0 stat line from last week. It's probably best to skip the ancillary wide receivers here and just fire Saquon Barkley and Goedert everywhere you can.

Dan Quinn said RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) is OUT for Sunday’s game in Arizona.

Hopefully this will just be one week while Ekeler works through the protocol. Robinson has to be considered a high-end RB2 while his teammate is sidelined. No need to start McNichols anywhere.

Dan Quinn said Austin Ekeler went back to Virginia to treat his concussion. Also suffered a laceration in his ear. Quinn said he'll know more later in the week.

The Commanders are heading right to Arizona for a Week 4 game against the Cardinals instead of going back to Washington, according to reports. It's unclear if Ekeler would have cleared, or could still clear protocol. We may know more during the week, but owners should probably prepare to not have Ekeler for Week 4, which is a later afternoon game. Robinson should lead the way at RB with McNichols perhaps getting more touches if Ekeler doesn't play.

Philadelphia has placed receiver Britain Covey on injured reserve after he suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday’s win over New Orleans.

Covey had to exit the game in the first half and was unable to return. He has caught seven passes for 34 yards so far this season. He’s also returned one punt for 9 yards.

Related players: A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Parris Campbell, Dallas Goedert, Saquon Barkley

Normally this may not be big news but the Eagles were involving Covey over the last two weeks before his injury. The other reason to pay attention is Brown is dealing with a hamstring issue and is in question for Week 4 - as is Smith who is in concussion protocol. That leaves Dotson, Wilson and Campbell as - possibly - the Eagles top-three WRs heading into Week 4. Even if that's the case, look for Goedert and Barkley to be heavily involved against the Bucs. Brown does have a chance to play but it's another situation to monitor this week.
