Mike Tomlin said that his “heart aches” for JuJu Smith-Schuster, who is playing on a one-year deal, but that he is also excited about the “big opportunities” that now exist for players like James Washington, Ray-Ray McCloud, and Cody White to make their mark on offense.

As we've said earlier this week and as the story pointed out, Washington could get the first crack at the job. McCloud did have one catch for a yard in Week 5.

Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) is questionable for Week 5 at Pittsburgh. Bridgewater is out of concussion protocol and has practiced each of the last two days.

Good news for Bridgewater, bad news for Lock streamers. Unless Bridgewater has a setback expect him to start.

Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who sustained a concussion in Sunday’s 23-7 loss to Baltimore, will have to clear several hurdles to start Sunday at Pittsburgh. But it is possible.

“Your progression through the return-to-play protocol is based on your symptoms,” said Dr. Casey Batten, director of primary care sports medicine at Cedars-Sinai’s Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles.

If Bridgewater’s symptoms subside throughout the week and he is cleared by multiple physicians and medical personnel, he could play.

The article is more of a "what if" piece. The doctor quoted has not evaluated Bridgewater, but the point for fantasy owners is there is a path for Bridgewater to play this week, and owners will have to follow closely. If he can't go, Lock would get the start.

Teddy Bridgewater, who suffered a concussion on his last pass attempt of the first half Sunday, is currently in the league's protocol and his availability for the Broncos' next game at Pittsburgh on Sunday, and possibly beyond, is in question.

Vic Fangio said Monday "the medical people are in charge" of Bridgewater's progress through the concussion protocol and he must be clear five stages that range from "symptom-limited activity" all the way through "full football activity," the story went on to say. Lock will get the start if Bridgewater can't go.

Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater left Sunday’s game against the Ravens with a concussion.

Drew Lock has taken over at quarterback. Bridgewater finished 7/16 for 65 yards and a touchdown. We’ll keep an eye on his situation and how long he could miss. Denver visits Pittsburgh next week before a tough stretch against the Raiders and then the Browns on Thursday night in Week 7.

Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) will miss Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Without MVS, Amari Rodgers and Randall Cobb should see more work alongside Allen Lazard and Davante Adams.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday’s 27-13 win over the New York Giants, coach Vic Fangio confirmed during his postgame press conference.

Jeudy might be sidelined for anywhere from several weeks to long as two months (or more), the story said. Jeudy had X-rays at the stadium on Sunday that came back negative, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The former Alabama star is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday that might give more clarity on a recovery timeline for the receiver. With Sutton still on the mend, Hamler could see a boost in targets. Patrick could also benefit as well as TE Fant.
