NFL Beat: Some believe Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) could play Week 3

Sep 17, 2024

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."

Fantasy Impact:

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.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
