This action results in Tagovailoa missing the next three games and will allow Jacoby Brissett three games to lead this Dolphins offense. His first opponent will be a Las Vegas Raiders defense who has been impressive through the first two weeks of the season.

49ers RB JaMycal Hasty (ankle) will miss Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. He also mentioned Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) has a chance to play.

One 49ers RB down, 43 more to go before we have an idea who plays. Trenton Cannon is the only healthy RB that was on the active roster Week 2. Trey Sermon was limited Wednesday as he recovers from a concussion.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa will not play Week 3 because of fractured ribs, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

Jacoby Brissett will start in place of Tua against a stout Las Vegas Raiders defense.

The 49ers are signing RB Jacques Patrick off the Bengals practice squad, source said. Big opportunity for the onetime XFL star with injuries depleting the SF backfield.

Hasty and Sermon will have a lot of hurdles to clear to play in Week 3 and Mitchell is dealing with a shoulder injury that still has his status up in the air. Even if Mitchell plays, Patrick could be in line for immediate touches. The Niners and Packers play on Sunday night so owners may have to wait this situation out and should have a backup plan.

High ankle sprains for JaMycal Hasty.

Hasty will likely miss a few weeks as that's a typical timeframe for high ankle sprains. Nick Wagoner reported it's a shoulder injury for Mitchell who is listed as day-to-day. There is still no update on Sermon who is dealing with a head issue. Adam Schefter reported the team brought in RBs Duke Johnson and Lamar Miller Monday. At this point, it seems like Mitchell has the best shot to play in Week 3 and the team may have to make a move for backups. The 49ers play the Packers on Sunday night so this could be a rough go for fantasy owners waiting out this situation.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa underwent further tests this morning on his bruised ribs and my understanding is those didn’t reveal any major issues.

X-rays were negative, according to the rest of Pelissero's tweet. He went on to say it will be about pain tolerance and functionality moving forward as far as Tua's availability goes. Miami will travel to Las Vegas in Week 3 for a later afternoon game, so the hope is we have a more definite answer about Tagovailoa's status before that for fantasy owners. Brissett came on in Week 2 after Tua left the game and would get the start in Week 3 if Tua can't go.

49ers' RB attrition is wild. Jeff Wilson, Raheem Mostert, Trey Sermon, Elijah Mitchell, JaMycal Hasty all now hurt. TBD on the Week 3 status of the final three.

What does SF do this week? Depends on health developments, but seems there's a good chance they start with a Kerryon Johnson practice squad call-up.

Sermon, Mitchell and Hasty were all injured in Week 2. Sermon appeared to be dealing with a head injury which could cost him time depending on protocols. Mitchell is dealing with a shoulder injury but the hope is he avoided something major. Meanwhile, Hasty is dealing with an ankle injury. It will be a situation to watch as the week goes on leading to Week 3. One problem for owners is the 9ers play on Sunday night against the Packers, so any game-time decisions will cause a need for backup plans.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa was carted to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Bills.

Tagovailoa slowly made his way to the bench and still had his helmet on. Jacoby Brissett is now in at quarterback for the Dolphins. We'll hopefully get more details very soon.

49ers RB Trey Sermon will be active for Week 2 at the Philadelphia Eagles according to Matt Barrows The Athletic. Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel said there was "an 'extra aggressiveness' from Sermon in practice this week in response to game day status against the Lions," according to Barrows.

Sermon's workload is unknown but it is clear that three running backs could see work for the 49ers. Shanahanigans!
