Panthers QB Bryce Young didn't practice today because of an ankle injury.

Related Players: Andy Dalton

It's still early in the week, so we'll keep an eye on this, but it's just one more negative bit of news about a Panthers offense that already looks lost. In the deepest of deep Superflex leagues, feel free to go grab Andy Dalton.

Cowboys have released RB Ronald Jones, they announced.

There were reports of this leading into Week 2. Jones was suspended for the first two weeks of the season but was able to come back today. However, the Cowboys are set up pretty good at RB with Pollard as the starter and youngsters like Dowdle and Vaughn as a supporting cast. Jones is still 26-years-old himself, and could provide depth on another roster at some point.

Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is officially out for Sunday vs. the Bills, as is DE Chandler Jones (personal). QB Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) and WR Davante Adams (foot) are off the injury report and good to go.

The Raiders had a very tight target tree in Week 1, with Jakobi Meyers surprisingly leading the way with his 10 targets and two touchdowns. We could see Renfrow far outkick his 13 snaps from Week 1, while Adams would almost assuredly demand a massive target share.

Raiders coach Josh McDaniels indicates that WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is doubtful to play this week.

The Raiders had a very tight target tree in Week 1, with Jakobi Meyers surprisingly leading the way with his 10 targets and two touchdowns. Remaining in the protocol this late in the week isn't a very good sign, though. We could see Renfrow far outkick his 13 snaps from Week 1, while Adams would almost assuredly demand a massive target share.

WR Jakobi Meyers remains in the concussion protocol, HC Josh McDaniels told reporters Wednesday, per ESPN's Paul Gutierrez.

The Dolphins named Mike White as their backup quarterback, coach Mike McDaniel said Monday, after a monthslong competition with Skylar Thompson.

On four occasions last season, the Dolphins were forced to turn to a backup quarterback after their starter was knocked out of a game. They signed White to a two-year, $8 million contract this offseason with $4.5 million guaranteed to operate as the primary backup to Tagovailoa and he competed with the 2022 seventh-round pick Thompson throughout the summer for the job. There was a point this summer where some who follow the team felt Thompson may pass White on the depth chart, but for now the team is going with White as the QB2.

Cowboys waived RB Malik Davis, a person familiar with the decision said.

In the end, Davis - who seemed like he had a chance to earn the RB2 job early on - trailed Dowdle and Vaughn this summer, but the team has interest in re-signing him to practice squad if he clears waivers, according to the rest of the post.

With Mike White now in the concussion protocol and with second-year seventh-rounder Skylar Thompson looking pretty good against the Texans on Saturday, it’s fair to ask whether Thompson might leapfrog White.

White has the second spot on the unofficial preseason depth chart, according to the story, but Thompson, who helped the Dolphins make things interesting in the playoffs against the Bills, looked good in Houston, completing 15 of 22 passes for 157 yards and three touchdowns. Normally there isn't a ton of hype around backup quarterbacks, but with Tua struggling with concussions last year, knowing his backup could be valuable, especially in deeper or two QB leagues.

Dolphins RB Devon Achane is also dealing with a shoulder injury. He's week to week and avoided serious injury.

QB Mike White is also in concussion protocol.

Achane has been a highly-touted rookie RB who has gained a lot of traction, especially early on in dynasty leagues. Achane's biggest asset is his speed, and talk was building he'd have a significant role in the Dolphins offense because of HC Mike McDaniel's love of fast players. He still was going to lose touches to Wilson and Mostert, so it remained to be seen how much of the workload he could garner. This setback could end up costing him some work, at least to start the season. But the good news is he avoided a more serious injury.

Russell Gage is down and surrounded by trainers, in obvious duress. A cart has been brought out to take him off the field.

Related Players: Trey Palmer, David Moore, Deven Thompkins

Very unfortunate news for Gage, who was likely to get quite a lot of run this season, even after the trade rumors surrounding Chris Godwin and Mike Evans came and went. Trey Palmer and Deven Thompkins are both projected as kick returners, so one of them may get extra snaps as a speedy slot option, depending on the severity of Gage's injury.
