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.

Browns plan to sign free agent running back Royce Freeman to the practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman did pretty well when he saw action with the Rams toward the end of last season. He was with Dallas this summer where he drew some hype, and for about a week the team had us convinced he may see significant action for the Cowboys. However, he was eventually released.

Packers are placing rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve due to an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Lloyd dealt with a hamstring injury leading up to the season and has now injured his ankle enough to be placed on IR, and he'll miss the next four games. The team did sign Brooks from their practice squad but Wilson looks to be the backup to Jacobs.
