No tua Tagovailoa for Dolphins this weekend

1/12/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture

With Tua Tagovailoa remaining in the NFL's concussion protocol, the Miami Dolphins are preparing to start rookie QB Skylar Thompson in the Wild Card round against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike McDaniel remains mum on Tagovailoa's status after suffering a series of concussions this season, most recently on Christmas Day. Prayers up to Thompson, who faces a tough Buffalo defense this weekend. ??

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said they're planning for Skylar Thompson to start at QB on Sunday in Buffalo.

more Qb news:

  • Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was not at practice on Wednesday, putting his status for the Wild Card round in doubt. Backup Tyler Huntley was not throwing at practice, which drove the team to start Anthony Brown against the Cincinnati Bengals last week. So it's a real possibility we could see the same this week. And that's not exactly a good thing.
    • Huntley was listed as a limited participant.

Still no Lamar Jackson (knee) at practice, and Tyler Huntley (right shoulder) was mostly going through the motions in warmups. Didn’t see him attempt a pass.

  • Josh Allen remains on the injury report with ankle and elbow injuries, but participated in full.
  • The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a shaky performance in Week 18 and hoping to turn things around in time for Wild Card Weekend. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones says he's not concerned about Dak Prescott. "It's in Dak's DNA not to turn the ball over. I have all the confidence in the world that he, as a player, has all the right balance of confidence or all the right balance of aggressiveness as it pertains to a turnover." Umm. Ok?
  • Trevor Lawrence was limited on Wednesday, with his lingering toe injury. Lawrence has not missed any games.
  • The Atlanta Falcons started two different quarterbacks in 2022, veteran Marcus Mariota and rookie Desmond Ridder. The team will have a decision to make at the position this upcoming off-season. While it seems likely, they cut Mariota; they will have to decide if they want to roll with Ridder, draft another QB if they don't like what they saw from Ridder, or bring in a veteran QB. Head coach Arthur Smith said they had yet to make any decisions as of right now. "There will be conversations. Nothing to update now."

Tom Brady-Mike Evans connection heating up

1/3/2023

  • Mike Evans and Tom Brady haven't had the best connection this season, but things are coming together at just the right time for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Evans had this to say about his QB: "Tom was just dropping dimes. Those were some really, really good balls. This was one of the best games I've seen Tom play since he's been here." The Bucs clinched the NFC South title this week and have a chance to continue the connection in the postseason.
    • With Week 18 being pretty meaningless for the Bucs, Brady says it would "bother" him if he did not play.

“We’re football players, it’s football season so we play football,” Tom Brady says. Would seem he plans to play at Atlanta Sunday. Todd Bowles will have he final say. Rest vs Rust? Bigger question is can you torpedo chance to win in playoffs with an injury for a meaningless game pic.twitter.com/nBwh33dLx8

more qb news:

  • Once upon a time, the Green Bay Packers were 4-8, and injuries to quarterback Aaron Rodgers had people wondering whether he would be shut down for the season. But then, they won four in a row and currently control their playoff destiny. Rodgers spoke about the mindset of the team throughout the season. "Sometimes you've got to fool yourself a little bit into believing a little bit more. But I definitely had faith I was going down scrapping, for sure. I do believe in the power of manifestation, and I do believe in momentum, and I believe very strongly in the force of the mind." Sounds like a quote straight out of a Disney movie.
  • San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Brock Purdy has been lighting it up lately, but Sunday's game was the first time he's had to play from behind. Nevertheless, he got the job done, and head coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged being able to do that was good for the team moving forward. "To keep coming back and keep attacking, he never got gun-shy, made some real good decisions too, and fought it out throughout the whole game and found a way to win."
  • The Philadelphia Eagles believe Jalen Hurts will be ready to play in Week 18. Hurts was ruled out the past two weeks with a shoulder injury but returned to practice during the week.

From @GMFB: The belief is that #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (SC joint sprain) will be ready to play in Week 18, while the #Dolphins QB situation is in flux, with Teddy Bridgewater dealing with a dislocated pinky on his throwing hand. He’ll get imaging today. pic.twitter.com/eo1ru3dFJb

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 2, 2023
  • The Chicago Bears aren't playing for anything any longer, and they let Justin Fields stay in the game to get destroyed on Sunday, sparking the question of, well... why?!? Head coach Matt Eberflus said keeping Fields in the game was to get him experience. "I just go back to what I just kind of tried to state is in-game experience; there's nothing like it. We're not going to get that anywhere else." I understand, but I hope Eberflus crossed his fingers TIGHT that Fields wouldn't get seriously injured.
    • Despite this, Eberflus did not commit to Fields starting in Week 18. Something to keep an eye on.
  • The New York Jets were happy to get Mike White back this week after dealing with a rib injury. But, unfortunately, it turns out they stink regardless of who is at the quarterback position. White talked about the disappointment of not meeting his teammates' expectations: "The guys in the locker room deserve a certain standard. I knew what I was signing up for. I practiced all week. There's a standard they deserve, and I didn't play to that standard today."
    • Robert Saleh said on Monday that White is dealing with some rib soreness, but should be ready to play in Week 18.
  • Mike Vrabel announced QB Josh Dobbs will start at quarterback for the Tennessee Titans in Week 18 in a must-win game for the AFC South title. Vrabel explained Dobbs' strengths are what led to the decision.

— Teresa Walker (@TeresaMWalker) January 2, 2023
  • Deshaun Watson has struggled since his return to the Cleveland Browns' lineup. While things are still shaky, and the team has been mathematically eliminated from the postseason, Watson saw his connection with his receivers on Sunday as something to build upon. "I know Amari [Cooper], he's still trying to get healthy,  but today was a good day to be able to, especially for the start of 2023 and what the future is going to hold for the Cleveland Browns, it was good to see that happen."
  • Miami Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater exited Sunday's game with a finger injury and is on his way to get x-rays on his throwing hand. If Bridgewater and starter Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) cannot play this week, it will be Skylar Thompson this week.
    • Mike McDaniel confirmed Tagovailoa will not be in the team's plans for Week 18.
  • Alabama quarterback Bryce Young has declared for the 2023 NFL Draft. The former Heisman Trophy winner is projected to be one of the top picks in this year's draft.
  • Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams put together about three plays on Sunday that could round out a highlight reel, including a one-hander. Quarterback Justin Herbert on Williams' catch: "I don't know anyone else does anything with that. He's about as special as it gets."
  • Jeff Saturday announced Sam Ehlinger will start in Week 18 for the Indianapolis Colts after Nick Foles injured his ribs. Matt Ryan will be the backup.
  • Ron Rivera says he has no decision on the starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders as of right now. The team started Carson Wentz last week, and it did not go well.
  • Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he doesn't know what Lamar Jackson's status will be this week.

NFL says Tua Tagovailoa concussion was handled properly

1/1/2023

For the second time this season, the NFL and the NFLPA investigated whether concussion protocol was properly carried out with Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

The NFL issued a statement on Saturday afternoon.

“The review established that symptoms of a concussion were neither exhibited nor reported until the following day.”

On #Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa, via the NFL and NFLPA: pic.twitter.com/BtKDEQ3IjG

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 31, 2022

Tagovailoa's head hit the turf in the second quarter of last week's game, and everyone missed it. It wasn't until the game concluded that a Twitter user posted the video on social media, questioning if Tagovailoa's three interceptions were a product of his slamming his head into the turf.

Head coach Mike McDaniel said he saw the hit on film the following Monday morning and pointed Tagovailoa in the doctor's direction, where it was determined he had suffered a concussion. Tagovailoa was shortly ruled out for Week 17 when it was confirmed.

The NFL, the Dolphins, and the NFLPA all seem to do the right things in saying that no concussion symptoms were immediately present (or they're trying to cover their asses). Still, a few questions remain: Why didn't someone see this sooner and allow him to continue playing in this game? Will Tagovailoa be shut down for the season? Will Tagovailoa ever play again?

  • David Blough gets the nod for the Arizona Cardinals this week, making him the 64th starting quarterback for the 2022 season. After Kyler Murray tore his ACL, the Cardinals shifted between Colt McCoy, Trace McSorley, and now Blough, who has only been with the team for a couple of weeks.
  • San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance underwent a second surgery on his injured ankle this weekend, removing hardware irritating him. Lance is expected to be ready for the 2023 off-season. As the starter? We'll see.

QB news: Trey Lance had a second surgery on his right ankle FRI, this one to remove hardware from the September procedure. Irritation that Lance has been feeling during rehab is believed to have been caused by the hardware’s proximity to an ankle tendon.

more qb news:

  • The Seattle Seahawks are taking on the Carolina Panthers this weekend, and it's a must-win should the Seahawks want to stay active in the playoff race. Offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo spoke about Seahawks QB Geno Smith's Cinderella-story comeback this year in the NFL. "You're seeing that with Geno, and that's just a part of playing the game. These guys go through a lot as they come up through the ranks, and they get a chance to play in this league. Sometimes they just need to get in the right situation, and certainly, that's where Geno is right now."
  • The last time Mike White played the Buffalo Bills didn't go so well. And that's putting it nicely. White says he's not thinking about that, though. "You can't go in there thinking, 'I want revenge for what happened last year.' What happened last year is over with. It's a different scenario, different team."
  • Even though he's unlikely to return this season with a broken foot, the San Francisco 49ers won't put Jimmy Garoppolo on injured reserve, according to GM John Lynch. "I think we're just going to carry him on our roster, and we're going to kind of see how the rehab process goes. There's a natural healing process that has to take place."
  • Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was a teammate of Baker Mayfield's for four seasons, and said he was not at all surprised by his big comeback win on Thursday night with just hours of preparation. "I mean, it was impressive. And going back to watch it, he was putting some dimes out there for guys to go get early on in the game and it was just that time until it clicked. So I have nothing against the guy now. I'm hoping for his success wherever he's at."
  • Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said QB Matthew Stafford will not need an offseason neck procedure at this time.
  • The Baltimore Ravens elevated QB Anthony Brown for Sunday's game.
  • Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott were fined $13, 261 for their Salvation Army kettle celebration in Week 14.

QB INJURY UPDATES:

  • Lamar Jackson is listed as doubtful with a knee injury.
  • The Jacksonville Jaguars list Trevor Lawrence as questionable with a toe injury.
  • Tua Tagovailoa is off the Miami Dolphins' injury report.

Falcons make a QB change

12/9/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Atlanta Falcons are on a bye this week but come Week 15; they'll have a new quarterback. The team is benching starter Marcus Mariota in favor of rookie QB Desmond Ridder, a move that came too late, in my opinion.

Sources: The #Falcons are looking to the future, making a QB switch to rookie Desmond Ridder as the starter. pic.twitter.com/x5GDff5VFx

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 8, 2022
Ridder was selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft after being a standout at Cincinnati. Ridder has not taken any regular season snaps yet, but he'll have extra time to prepare.

More importantly, Ridder's performance over the last quarter of the NFL season should give the team some clarity on if he is their QB of the Future.

More QB news:

  • First, they lost Trey Lance. Then they lost Jimmy Garoppolo. So now, in the thick of a playoff race, the San Francisco 49ers are forced to turn to rookie Brock Purdy at quarterback. Usually, I would be panicking, but offensive lineman Trent Williams sees a tough player who doesn't necessarily act like a rookie. "You would think he's been in the league 15 years. If you're talking, he'll say, 'Shut your ass up.' He ain't no timid rookie feeling his way around. He will get on your ass."
    • Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke about the change from Garoppolo to Purdy and how it wasn't as difficult as it was to switch from Lance to Garoppolo. "Jimmy and Brock aren't necessarily running threats, so you don't sit there and design stuff like that, but they're definitely both mobile enough to make plays with their legs."
  • The Detroit Lions, surprisingly, are playing really good football right now. More specifically, Jared Goff is playing really good football right now. He acknowledged his play, pointing to it as the best of his career thus far. "I've played a lot of good football in my career, but I feel as comfortable as I've ever felt."
  • As expected, Lamar Jackson did not practice for the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday. Jackson exited last week's game with a knee injury. Backup Tyler Huntley should be the presumed starter for the next week, perhaps longer.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson did not practice for a second straight day on Thursday. He's dealing with a knee injury.

  • Amid a strong 2022 for Tua Tagovailoa, he had a head-scratching performance in Week 14. He was later pulled late in the fourth quarter for an ankle injury. But head coach Mike McDaniel says the Miami Dolphins' poor performance was more than just Tagovailoa's shortcomings. "From a football perspective, everything that went wrong wasn't a direct result of the quarterback. It never is exactly like that. However, we all know that he wants to play as well as he can, and he thinks he could have done better in that game."
    • Tagovailoa remained limited in Thursday's practice.
  • Trevor Lawrence did not practice on Thursday with a toe injury.
  • The Dallas Cowboys are the current favorites to land free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., but questions have been raised about his availability coming off an ACL injury. QB Dak Prescott said it's a plus if he ends up signing, but they're good with what they have if not. "We like our guys," if you will.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott on free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr.: “I felt like the visit went well. I know us meeting, having lunch with a couple of guys, I know it well.” Knows it’s a business. “If we get him, hell yeah it’s going to help. And if not, I’m confident in what we have.”

  • Geno Smith was added to the Seattle Seahawks injury report on Thursday with a shoulder injury. It's unclear at the moment of the severity, but it is his throwing shoulder. So, it's something to keep an eye on.

Rams claim Baker Mayfield

The Los Angeles Rams were the lucky winners of the Baker Mayfield sweepstakes after he was put on waivers by the Carolina Panthers on Monday.

Former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield was claimed on waivers today by the Los Angeles Rams, per league sources. The Rams now inherit the remaining $1.35 million on Mayfield’s contract. Mayfield is expected to fly to LA by tonight and could play Thursday night vs. the Raiders. pic.twitter.com/CAIVhY25Nu

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 6, 2022
While he's not expected to start on Thursday night, Mayfield reportedly went straight to LA, playbook in hand and ready to learn the offense. The Rams placed starting quarterback Matthew Stafford on injured reserve after a series of injuries; backup John Wolford is also injured, leaving Bryce Perkins at the position.

While Los Angeles is all but done as far as the playoff race goes, and Mayfield hasn't exactly lit it up in the NFL, this is the best roster he's been a part of thus far. It'll be interesting to see what comes of this move long-term.

Despite a few other teams potentially needing someone at the QB position, the Rams were the only team to put in a waiver claim for Mayfield.

more qb news:

  • In probably the best news they could have gotten, Jimmy Garoppolo got good news on his foot injury on Tuesday, avoiding a Lisfranc injury and surgery. Garoppolo could return in 7-8 weeks, putting him in the window to return in the postseason, should the San Francisco 49ers make it that far without him. The Niners plan to roll with Brock Purdy at the starting role for the time being.
    • The Niners signed QB Josh Johnson to a one-year deal.
    • San Francisco did not put a waiver claim in on Mayfield.

Sources: Doctors concluded today that 49ers' QB Jimmy Garoppolo does not need foot surgery, it is not a Lisfranc injury, and if rehab goes smoothly, he could have a chance to return in 7-8 weeks, making him a potential playoff contributor. pic.twitter.com/beYu1Pa9KU

  • Baltimore Ravens quarterback has been diagnosed with a sprained PCL, and will likely miss Week 14's game. A typical recovery period for this type of injury is 1-3 weeks.
    • While the Pittsburgh Steelers aren't likely to face starting quarterback Lamar Jackson on Sunday, they will meet Tyler Huntley, a familiar face for them. Huntley played a pretty solid game against Pittsburgh last season, and head coach Mike Tomlin says they're expecting an improved Huntley. "We expect to see a much better guy."

  • The Indianapolis Colts have a bye week in Week 14, and they'll (hopefully) spend it evaluating things. Head coach Jeff Saturday says they'll look at everything, including the QB position because Matt Ryan is bad. "We're going to look at everything, no position in particular, but everybody. We need the best 11 on the field every time. If we think somebody gives us a better chance to win, let's have those discussions this week."
  • Speaking of benching quarterbacks on their bye week, I present to you the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Arthur Smith talked about making team changes during this week off. "We've got to get over this hump here, and there are a lot of things at stake. It's going to be what's best for this team short term and long term."
  • Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said there could be discussions about backup QB Jordan Love starting games late in the regular season.
  • Tua Tagovailoa left Sunday's game early while dealing with an ankle injury. Head coach Mike McDaniel said it's not a big deal, and Tagovailoa shouldn't miss any time. "We will just be mindful of what he does...But I'm very confident and don't anticipate any sort of setback that would negate him playing in the upcoming football match."
  • The Washington Commanders seem prepared to ride the Taylor Heinicke wave from now on, with Carson Wentz as the backup. Head coach Ron Rivera confirmed. "I feel comfortable with Taylor. When Carson's activated, he'll be the primary backup, and we'll go from there."
  • John Wolford returned to a limited practice on Tuesday.

Mike White came out swinging, immediately showing he was better than Zach Wilson, giving the New York Jets a 7-0 lead on this eight-yard touchdown to Garrett Wilson.

White and the Jets came out with a win, with White throwing for 315 yards and three touchdowns.

The Miami Dolphins ended up pulling starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa before the end of the game because they had the Houston Texans so far in the hole.

The Dolphins were up 30-6 when they pulled Tagovailoa with just over three minutes left in the third quarter.

Tagovailoa earned these MVP chants this week.
Sam Darnold played his first game of the season after suffering an ankle injury in the preseason. And.. surprise. He added a much needed spark to the otherwise lifeless Carolina Panthers offense.

Darnold didn't blow anyone away - he was 11-of-19 for 164 yards and one touchdown - but he was better than Russell Wilson and the tanking Denver Broncos by a mile.

And now I present to you, the most Sam Darnold touchdown of all time.

Panthers head coach Steve Wilks confirmed Darnold will remain the starter after the bye week.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had one of his best games of the season, and one of his toughest challenges in the Baltimore Ravens defense.

Lawrence marched his team down the field in the final seconds of the game, and then executed a near-perfect two-point converstion for the win.

more Qb news:

  • The Green Bay Packers, and more notably, Aaron Rodgers, aren't doing so hot this season. Rodgers has been dealing with a thumb injury for most of the season, which has been revealed to be an avulsion fracture. This injury usually requires surgery - Rodgers has been playing through it. A few more L's and we could see Rodgers heading to injured reserve and possibly surgery.
    • A report from Jay Glazer on Sunday stated that the injury was affecting Rodgers' accuracy.
  • Deshaun Watson is set to be reinstated on Monday. Yuck.
    • Jacoby Brissett spoke after the game (and his last presumed start for the Browns) about how grateful he was for his opportunity to step in for Watson.

  • Matthew Stafford was ruled out for Week 12 following a neck strain. Stafford also dealt with "concussion issues" (depending on who you ask) the week before. With a current 3-7 record, it seems stupid to play your QB, who may be dealing with serious injuries, so Stafford may not return this season.

  • Some confusion ahead of Bears-Jets: Chicago Bears backup quarterback Trevor Siemian injured his oblique in warmups, pointing towards third-stringer Nathan Peterman making the start for Chicago. Siemian got a pain-killing injection and ended up as the starting quarterback. It was quite riveting.
    • Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said starter Justin Fields is getting better, but didn't commit to him being back next week. "We think that he's getting better every single day. At gametime today he wasn't ready to perform and protect himself."
  • A semi-viral moment occurred when Denver Broncos defensive tackle screamed at quarterback Russell Wilson on the sideline (he is all of us). Wilson downplayed it (because of course he did), saying he just wanted "a spark." Mmmk.

Russell Wilson on exchange with Mike Purcell: "Mike and I are on the same page. He came off after he kicked the field goal and he was pissed off. He said we've got to f-in go. I agreed. ... There's no animosity. We've got to win."

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was the better QB during Thursday Night Football, but only if you point to the second half. After a shaky start, Jackson ended up going 27-of-38 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-22 win over Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Cowboys are preparing for Cooper Rush to start against the Eagles, per coach Mike McCarthy.
Dak Prescott is improving. Planned to throw to receivers in practice. Has not been medically cleared.

  • Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will not play this week after suffering two concussions four days apart. Third-stringer Skylar Thompson will get the start this week, with Teddy Bridgewater also unavailable. You can't make this up.

McDaniel on Tua vs. Vikings: "I don't see him active and I do not plan to have him play at all."

  • Some good news, though! Wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who was injured in last week's game, is optimistic that he will be able to play this week. Hill hurt his left foot in Week Five and was in a walking boot following the game.

McDaniel said Tyreek Hill will practice today, sans walking boot

Picture


The Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins were scheduled to have two days of joint practices ahead of Saturday's final preseason matchup. Not anymore! Due to a stomach bug and players barfing everywhere, Thursday's practice has been canceled, and teams will meet virtually.

The #Dolphins, who canceled their joint practice with the #Eagles today, are dealing with a stomach bug, sources say. Bunch of players sick, vomiting overnight.

  • Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith suffered a hamstring injury in Wednesday's practice that appears worse than initially thought. Smith is believed to have an avulsion fracture in his knee, which will require him to miss up until December, but more likely the 2022 season.

#Cowboys standout LT Tyron Smith actually suffered an avulsion fracture of the knee, meaning the hamstring tendon that sits at the back of the knee pulled off the bone and he needs surgery, sources say. If he’s back at all, it’ll be December. A tough loss.

  • Rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks was a no-go for Thursday's Tennessee Titans practice after leaving midday on Wednesday. It's unclear what this specific injury is, but Burks has been in and out of practices all offseason with different ailments.

No Treylon Burks for the #Titans today.

  • Running back Antonio Gibson appears to be the Washington Commanders' first choice for kick returner in 2022. Gibson has taken reps in this role and a regular backfield role.

Ron Rivera on if RB Antonio Gibson will be the team's top kick returner this season: "You still need to see some more stuff, but you know, I think he is. I do. I think he's done a nice job.”

  • Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London remains out of practice with a knee injury. Head coach Arthur Smith stated almost two weeks ago that they did not consider it a "long-term" injury, but it's getting there, yes?

Falcons players I don’t see in early part of practice (perhaps they show up later):

WR Drake London
DL Marlon Davidson
TE John FitzPatrick
OL Jalen Mayfield
RB Cordarrelle Patterson (rest)
