Team news: Miami Dolphins | Page 20

Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said after the game that Jacoby Brissett got the start because the Dolphins didn’t feel Tua Tagovailoa‘s fractured middle finger allowed him to make all the throws needed to do the job.

At a Monday press conference, Flores said that the plan is to watch Tagovailoa throw later in the day and see where things stand. The bad news for the Dolphins is it's a short week and the team plays Thursday’s against the Ravens.

Dolphins coach Brian Flores says Will Fuller will be out again on Thursday.

Parker is also on IR leaving Waddle as the team's WR1. TE Mike Gesicki has also been a big factor as of late in the Dolphins offense so look for them to be the top-two targets on a short week against the Ravens.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (finger-throwing hand) is questionable for Week 9 against the Houston Texans. HC Brian Flores is expecting Tagovailoa to play.

This is an injury to watch ahead of Sunday.

Patriots WR N'Keal Harry (knee) and TE Jonnu Smith (shoulder) are questionable for Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers.

Harry was a new addition and is very much a concern heading into Sunday. Both are names to watch when inactives are announced.

Browns WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) is questionable for Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

With OBJ no long a Brown, DPJ has a chance to be the WR2 across from Jarvis Landry.

Dolphins HC Brian Flores told reporters Friday that WR DeVante Parker (hamstring) had a setback and is now doubtful to play against the Houston Texans.

Parker has been a security blanket at receiver when healthy and his absence Sunday will be noticeable.

Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne (shoulder) and TE Jonnu Smith (shoulder) are questionable for Week 8's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Related Players: N'Keal Harry, Hunter Henry, Nelson Agholor

Bourne has been New England's WR2 this season and Smith has only seen smatterings of production behind Henry. Henry is headed back to where he played his entire career and should be one of Mac Jones's favorite targets.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) is questionable for Week 7's game at the Tennessee Titans.

Hill is having his practice reps limited for gameday and this week is no different.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill missed Thursday's practice with a quad injury.

Hill missed the first two practices of the week with the injury but is fully expected to play this weekend against the Tennessee Titans. Tyreek had a similar practice schedule in the lead-up to Week 6, with multiple missed practices before ultimately suiting up and having a big day. This is a situation to monitor, but fantasy managers should remain optimistic regarding his status. Likely to draw the questionable tag but is expected to play this weekend, Hill will be productive even if he sees his snaps reduced again. He is our third-ranked receiver for Week 7.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) is questionable for Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. Back-up Jacoby Brissett is also questionable with a hamstring issue.

Trade rumors, rib issues, and playing one week after losing to the Jags overseas is not great for Tua. Monitor his reps as the week goes on.
