Team news: New England Patriots | Page 19

Rhamondre Stevenson has missed practice time this week as well, so the starting back will be a chess game for Bill Belichick to operate. Clevland is second-best in yards per rush attempt at 3.5, but have allowed solid production to the position in the red zone.

Brandon Bolden is a name to monitor as a FLEX play in a matchup against the Cleveland Browns, especially if Stevenson turns up inactive.

Patriots RBs Damien Harris (concussion) and Rhamondre Stevenson (concussion) and WRs N'Keal Harry (knee) and Gunner Olszewski (concussion) are questionable for Week 10's game against the Cleveland Browns.

The questionable list for the Patriots is long than the list of games in which WR Jakobi Meyers has a touchdown. Bolden would be the biggest winner if Harris and Stevenson are out.

Patriots RBs Damien Harris (concussion) and Rhamondre Stevenson (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.

A Bolden-Taylor backfield seems likely as the Patriots prepare for the Cleveland Browns.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (finger-throwing hand) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Good to see a glimmer of hope for Tagovailoa, but expecting him to play may be wishful thinking.

WFT RB Antonio Gibson (shin) was listed as limited on the team's first Week 10 injury report. WR Curtis Samuel (groin) did not practice.

Gibson's limited tag is continued reservation for the second-year back. Expect him to play Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Brian Flores says he expects it to go down to game time Thursday vs. Ravens on whether Tua Tagovailoa or Jacoby Brissett starts at QB.

The tweet did add Flores says if the game was tonight, then it would be Brissett. But, he noted there’s still time, adding that Tua “looked good” yesterday but was still limited.

The Washington Football Team gambled three weeks ago by releasing veteran kicker Dustin Hopkins and replacing him with unproven Chris Blewitt. The move didn't work out, and Blewitt was released Tuesday after having three kicks blocked in his two games.

Washington signed veteran Joey Slye as its new kicker.

In six games with the Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers this season, Slye was a combined 11-of-13 on field goals and 9-for-12 on extra points.

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 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.

Shanahan said Elijah Mitchell emerged from the game with a rib injury. Said the rookie runner will be limited in practice on Wednesday.

It seems like Mitchell should be able to play in Week 9 at home against the Cardinals. Hasty got just three carries last week for four yards but reports say Wilson could be back to practice this week as well. The 49ers play a late-afternoon game in Week 9 so owners should probably try to come up with a backup plan just in case Mitchell trends downward this week.
