Team news: Miami Dolphins | Page 8

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is set to practice this week and could play in Week 8 against the Cardinals.

Tagovailoa is eligible to return to practice this week following his stint on injured reserve. The Dolphins have struggled on offense without Tagovailoa. Tyler Huntley will start Sunday against the Colts. Tagovailoa reportedly has no lingering effects from the concussion he suffered in Week 2.

Rashid Shaheed has been placed on IR

The Saints depth chart has quickly gone from "meh" to awful in the span of a few days. Avoid everyone.

Terron Armstead and Calais Campbell returned to practice Thursday.

De’Von Achane again working without the red, non-contact jersey, and Jevon Holland still has his hand wrapped.

If Achane is fully cleared by the weekend, it put the rest of the backfield in no-man's land for fantasy purposes. Achance himself should be considered an RB2 with a capped ceiling due to a questionable offensive environment, sans Tua Tagovailoa.

Coach Dennis Allen announces that Rashid Shaheed will undergo surgery on his meniscus, and during the surgery, it will be determined if he has the full repair or the trim.

The full repair would mean his season is over.

Miserable news for a player who had been contributing in many aspects, including special teams. Spencer Rattler's skill position group is being sniped by injuries, which makes the entire team a strong fade for fantasy purposes.

Saints HC Dennis Allen ruled out WR Chris Olave for Thursday night’s game vs. Denver due to a concussion.

Things are trending in the wrong direction for the Saints this week, with a number of impactful injuries looking to sap their offense. Mean is fine as a desperation Flex, but don't expect too much.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel confirms that QB Tua Tagovailoa is expected to play again in 2024.

As the post said, it's the first time the team has said Tagovailoa will be back this season. Tua is still on Injured Reserve, however, but eligible to resume practicing on Oct. 23. There has been talk about a Week 8 return but that remains to be seen. All reports over the last several weeks is Tua is feeling good and much improved. In Week 8, the Dolphins are hosting Cardinals in an early game, so hopefully by that point we have a better idea of Tua's timetable.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be on injured reserve for at least two more weeks and the process of getting back on the field will continue this week.

Head coach Mike McDaniel said at a Monday press conference that Tagovailoa will have “some expert consultation” about his concussion in the coming days. With the Dolphins on a bye this week, Tagovailoa will be eligible to practice with the team after their Week Seven game against the Colts. He will remain in the concussion protocol until he does get back on the field because practice work is one of the steps toward being cleared and McDaniel said there’s been no word from any doctors that would rule out a return at that point.

There's been talk Tua will be back for Week 8, but this consultation, the story said, will go a long way as far as determining whether or not that will come true. McDaniel said, “There’s been nothing negative thus far, but we’re still in the process. We don’t rush that process and we don’t try to do anything that negatively impacts that,” so that's certainly good news as far as Tua's overall health goes.

Pierce said #Raiders RB Zamir White (groin) is doubtful. DE Maxx Crosby (ankle) and G Dylan Parham (achilles) will practice today.

It looks like Mattison will get the nod and most of the ground game work, but he is in an awful situation with an offense that is nosediving. Dylan Laube and Ameer Abdullah should be involved in the pass game, which regulates Mattison to RB2/3 territory.

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.
