Dolphins | Tua Tagovailoa set for consultation Mon Oct 7, 09:29 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will get some expert consultation this week but won't enter the final stage of the concussion protocol until he's back from injured reserve and logs his first practice, head coach Mike McDaniel said on Monday, Oct. 7.
| Footballguys view: With the Dolphins on a bye this week, Tagovailoa will be eligible to practice with the team after their Week 7 game against the Colts. As Profootballtalk.com notes, Tua will remain in the concussion protocol until he does get back on the field because practice work is one of the steps toward being cleared, and McDaniel said there's been no word from any doctors that would rule out a return at that point. "There's been nothing negative thus far, but we're still in the process. We don't rush that process, and we don't try to do anything that negatively impacts that." McDaniel said. This week's consultations should give the team more insight into the likelihood that he will be back on the field later this month. |

Packers | Romeo Doubs back from suspension Mon Oct 7, 09:21 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs had his one-game suspension lifted on Monday, Oct. 7. Doubs is expected to be back with the team on Wednesday, Oct. 9.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday he came away from his meeting with Doubs optimistic the issues that led to the team's disciplinary action have been addressed. The team suspended Doubs on Saturday for one game after he missed two days of practice and meetings on Thursday and Friday last week. SI.com reported Doubs was unhappy with his opportunities in the passing attack. The Packers beat the host Rams 24-19 without Doubs, who will be reinstated this week. "What's done is done," LaFleur said Monday. "We're moving forward. I expect us collectively as a team to continue to move that way." We'll follow up as needed. |

Link to story Rams | No official return date for Cooper Kupp Mon Oct 7, 07:10 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) hopefully will be able to return for the Week 7 game, but head coach Sean McVay said there is no definite timetable for Kupp's return.
| Footballguys view: Kupp has not played since he sprained his ankle in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. "That would be an ideal target, yes," McVay said "...That is something that in an ideal world, yeah, he's ready to go." McVay said Kupp was doing "some specific work" over the last couple of days with the Rams' medical team and that McVay hadn't talked to that group before his news conference Monday "[Week 7's game against the Raiders] was always an optimistic target date just based on a few weeks back that we had set," McVay said. "By no means is that guaranteed." Despite saying Kupp would be out "an extended period of time" because of the injury, the Rams did not put the receiver on injured reserve. If a player is put on injured reserve, he is required to sit out four games, not four weeks, so Kupp would not have been eligible to return until Week 8. We'll be watching his progress over the off week closely. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice Unlikely To Play This Year, But Full Recovery Expected Mon Oct 7, 06:54 PM
While Chiefs star WR Rashee Rice's season is expected to be over, he did receive positive news today from Dr. Dan Cooper. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Rice needs his LCL repaired, but there is a chance that's the only ligament to be repaired.
| Footballguys view: Adam Schefter chimed in by noting it's unlikely that Rice will play again this season, but doctors will not know for sure until they perform surgery Tuesday morning, per source. If it's just an LCL repair, Rice's recovery would be measured in months -- potentially three months. So if the surgery tomorrow confirms that's the only damage -- if his ACL does not require a reconstruction, that's excellent news. He should be healthy enough for next season. |

Bills quarterback Josh Allen was examined for a concussion during Sunday's eventual loss to the Texans after his head hit the turf in the fourth quarter. Allen was cleared during the contest and came back in, missing just one offensive snap. Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed on Monday that Allen has not been placed in concussion protocol since the end of the contest.
| Footballguys view: "Josh was cleared, and he went back in the game," McDermott said in his news conference. "That's what I know from our medical staff on the sideline." Allen had the worst completion rate of his career on Sunday, finishing just 9-of-30 for 131 yards with a touchdown. He also recorded 54 yards rushing on four attempts. He'll try to get back on track against the Jets on Monday night in Week 6. |

Raiders | Pierce: Status Quo For Davante Adams; WR's Status Up In The Air Mon Oct 7, 05:39 PM
Wide receiver Davante Adams missed his second straight Raiders game on Sunday, but there was a report on Saturday that his hamstring is expected to be well enough for him to play. During a Monday press conference, Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce had nothing to say about Adams's health or where things stand on the trade front. Pierce said it was "status quo" and that reporters should ask Adams why he's looking for a new place to play. "I don't know. I think you gotta ask Davante that," Pierce said.
| Footballguys view: It seems more a matter of who Adams would rather play for than if he'll play for the Raiders this week. Adams asked for a trade, and teams like the Saints, Jets, Bills, and Steelers have been mentioned as possible suitors. |
