Justin Herbert will be listed on today's injury report with an ankle injury. Practice status TBD.

Related Players: Easton Stick, Taylor Heinicke

Herbert has been on the injury report a couple of times as we head into the third game of the season, yet has taken all 51 dropbacks for the 2-0 Chargers. Their offense has been very efficient, though most of that has come through the run game, rendering Herbert un-startable in fantasy.

The Dolphins are placing QB Tua Tagovailoa on injured reserve in order to give him ample time to progress through the stages of concussion protocol and meet with outside neurologists.

We just reported a story where Tua hadn't been ruled out yet, and some around the league thought he had a chance to play in Week 8. As unrealistic as that seemed, the door seemed to be open. However, this obviously shuts that door, and is a more realistic, and safer, outcome for the QB. The earliest Tagovailoa could return is Week 8 against the Cardinals, but the Dolphins are committed to placing no timeline on him as he works through a deliberate process and eventual return to play, the post went on to say.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has not yet been ruled out of the Week 3 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. During an appearance on 93.3 KJR Seahawks radio, Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports said, "There are some around the league who think he may play in Seattle this weekend."

It would seem unrealistic to see Tua back on the field this quickly, but this report at least leaves the door open. He would need to pass protocol, and then beyond that there are obvious questions about rushing him back that soon given his history. This will be worth monitoring for the rest of the week. The Dolphins-Seahawks game is a later game on Sunday. We're sure to hear more about Tua's progress through protocol as the week goes on.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown told ESPN that he does expect to miss a couple of weeks due to the hamstring injury he suffered Friday.

Owners can expect him to now be out for Week 3, but perhaps Week 4 is possible given the Eagles bye week comes in Week 5. This will be something to monitor. The hope is Brown is back for Week 4, which is an early game at the Bucs. The Eagles have an early game in Week 6 as well, home against the Browns. Smith should be the team's WR1 with Brown out and newly acquired Dotson should start to see more reps. Wilson is a rookie who really stood out this summer and could end up seeing some snaps as well. Covey played well in Week 2.

Not enough information yet to determine if Tua Tagovailoa is going on IR, according to McDaniel.

The post went on to say the decision has not been discussed with Tagovailoa. It may be a glimmer of good news as far as Tua's status goes, but owners should still be prepared to be without him just in case this ends up being long term. Thompson will likely be a popular pickup given the talent around him alone.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, the Dolphins will be signing quarterback Tyler Huntley from Baltimore’s practice squad.

With Thompson expected to start with Tua out, Huntley doesn't have experience in the offense as the now backup QB. The piece went on to say C.J. Beathard, who knows the Miami offense from his time in San Francisco, was on the short list. Others, like former Dolphins backup quarterback Mike White, were not, the story added. Huntley, of course, was Lamar Jackson's backup, even making the Pro Bowl. He was signed by Cleveland, but eventually cut and was back in Baltimore as the QB3 behind Josh Johnson.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion and was quickly ruled out during the second half of Thursday night's loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Following his exit, Tagovailoa remained at Hard Rock Stadium in the locker room and did not leave for a hospital. Head coach Mike McDaniel, who spoke with Tagovailoa on the field and in the locker room, said his quarterback was "in good spirits."

Thompson is very likely to get the start in Week 3 with this being one of many recent concussions for Tagovailoa. He doesn't need to be started in fantasy leagues of any size.

Atlanta Falcons receiver Drake London darted over the middle, his arms away from his body, his hands corralling a seven-yard reception from quarterback Kirk Cousins early in the second quarter in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The play marked London's third target and second catch of the game. Over the final 42 minutes Sunday, it proved to be his last of each.

"We didn't get the ball to Drake enough," Falcons coach Raheem Morris said after the game.

London was shadowed by Steeler CB Joey Porter Jr. and QB Kirk Cousins struggles both factored into London collecting just two passes. While it doesn't help owners now, the good news is things like this can often get corrected the following week, so the hope is the Falcons design some plays early on for London which hopefully gets the entire offense going.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (plantar fascia) is off the injury report -- for real this time -- and good to go for Sunday's opener vs. the Raiders.

WR D.J. Chark (hip) is out.

Good news for Herbert and the Chargers in general, but we don't want to touch this passing attack as we head into what could be a slog against the Raiders. Leave the QB on your bench or waiver wire until we find him in a better spot.

Patriots RB Antonio Gibson (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game vs. Cincinnati, while TE Hunter Henry has been removed from the report and is good to go.

Related Players: Austin Hooper, Jaheim Bell

Outside of two rookies (Ja'Lynn Polk, Javon Baker), New England doesn't have much firepower, which could equate to Henry leading the team in targets in a handful of weeks. In what may have been a high-scoring affair, the Bengals might be missing both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, which dampens most Patriots options.

Consider Henry a deep target in 2TE leagues.
