Buffalo Bills WR Sammy Watkins (calf) will not return in the second half of the Week 3 game against the Miami Dolphins due to a calf injury.
Footballguys View: Hopefully this is due to the lopsided score more than the severity of injury for Watkins. He battled multiple nagging injuries last year.
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Michael Vick is set to step into the starting lineup in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens with QB Ben Roethlisberger (knee) expected to miss at least four weeks due to a knee injury.
Footballguys View: Vick’s running ability and the Steelers array of weapons combine with a good offensive line to make Vick a viable start for owners who are missing Roethlisberger. The Ravens pass defense has been prone to lapses, so Vick isn’t a terrible play this week on Thursday.
Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (knee) is expected to miss at least four weeks due to the knee injury he suffered in the Week 3 win against the St. Louis Rams.
Seattle Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch (hamstring) will not return to the Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears due to a hamstring injury
Footballguys View: Lynch and the Seahawks get Detroit next week and with both calf and hamstring issues, it might be a race for him to be active in Week 4.
Updating previous reports, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (knee) is scheduled to undergo an MRI exam on his left knee Sunday, Sept. 27, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
Footballguys View: The Steelers are preparing to be without Roethlisberger for at least four weeks. Michael Vick will start against Baltimore on Thursday.
Seattle Seahawks DE Demarcus Dobbs (shoulder) is probable to return to Week 3’s game against the Chicago Bears.
New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis (hamstring) tweaked his hamstring during Week 3’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
Footballguys View: Next week that could be good news for the Miami Dolphins passing game, and the team needs some good news right now.
Tennessee Titans QB Marcus Mariota tied the NFL record for most touchdown passes through his first three games during Week 3’s contest against the Indianapolis Colts. He has thrown eight touchdown passes, tying the mark previously set by Mark Rypien of the 1988 Washington Redskins.
Footballguys View: The Titans offense runs through Mariota as much as any offense runs through a quarterback in the NFL right now. He’s on bye next week, but can be an answer for folks that lost Brees, Romo, or Roethlisberger.
Updating previous reports, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (knee) was spotted using crutches after suffering a left knee injury Week 3’s game against the St. Louis Rams. Head coach Mike Tomlin said he will undergo an MRI exam.
New England Patriots QB Tom Brady became the fourth quarterback in NFL history to throw at least 400 career touchdown passes during Week 3’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Peyton Manning (533), Brett Favre (508) and Dan Marino (420) are the other three signal-callers to reach the milestone.
