Team news: Miami Dolphins | Page 9

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert, who is listed as questionable because of his chest injury, is not expected to play tonight against the Titans, per source.

The Dolphins have said they will use caution with Mostert, who looks like he will miss another week. Achane should be the team's main back but Wright and Wilson will likely factor in as well. How the game script goes against the Titans will likely dictate how much work Achane loses to Wright and Wilson. In a 28-3 loss last week, Achane had 14 touches to Wright's 2 and Wilson's 3.

Mike McDaniel says that Terron Armstead will play against Seattle, but said that he's pessimistic about Raheem Mostert (though he wouldn't rule it out).

Achane should once again get a huge workload, with Wilson and Wright rotating in. Wilson and/or Wright can be played in Flex spots if you're desperate, but it's probably best to just consider Achane a top-10 option.

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.

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.

De’Von Achane is ACTIVE

Though he may not play a full complement of snaps, Achane should be in lineups tonight. Jeff Wilson makes for an interesting FLEX play as well.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert, who is out tonight with a chest injury, is not expected to be placed on Injured Reserve. His injury is not considered to be season-ending or long-term, and Mostert should be back sooner, rather than later.

This is great news for Mostert drafters, and he needs to be kept on all rosters moving forward. It sounds like there's a chance he could be back as soon as Week 3.

Dolphins RB Devon Achane, dealing with an ankle sprain, will work out pregame tonight to determine his availability against the Bills. But based on how he feels and how he practiced yesterday, there is optimism that he plays, per me and Cameron Wolfe, even on a short week.

With Raheem Mostert already ruled out, Achane's availability is going to very seriously impact a running back rotation that is always heavily involved in this explosive offense. As it stands, if Achane plays, he need to be in lineups due to his incredible efficiency.
