Saints | Willie Snead ruled out for Week 3
New Orleans Saints WR Willie Snead (toe) will not play Monday, Sept. 26, against the Atlanta Falcons after missing most of the team’s practices leading up to the Week 3 finale with a toe injury.
Dolphins | Arian Foster doubtful for Week 4
Miami Dolphins RB Arian Foster (groin) won’t be rushed back, according to head coach Adam Gase, which casts him as doubtful for Week 4 Thursday, Sept. 29.
Dolphins | Jordan Cameron out for Week 4
Miami Dolphins TE Jordan Cameron (concussion) will be out for Week 4 due to a concussion.
Footballguys View: Cameron will be in the concussion protocol, and his return date is yet to be determined. Without him, the Dolphins will use more of Dion Sims.
Redskins | DeAngelo Hall done for season
Updating previous reports, Washington Redskins FS DeAngelo Hall (knee) had an MRI confirm a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and his season is over.
Footballguys View: Hall has played well early in the season as he transitioned to safety. Without him, Washington is going to be especially thin at the position. Will Blackmon should fill his role at free safety.
Chargers | Manti Te’o out for season
Updating previous reports, San Diego Chargers LB Manti Te’o (Achilles’) had an MRI confirm a torn Achilles’, and he’ll miss the rest of the season.
Footballguys View: Te’o went down on a play without contact where he was roaming in coverage. In the final year of his rookie contract, Te’o is going to have to prove to teams in the spring that he can recover fully — while the free agency process is underway.
Raiders | Marcel Reece due back in Week 4
Oakland Raiders FB Marcel Reece will be eligible to return in Week 4 from a four-game suspension stemming from last season.
Footballguys View: Reece is a weapon for the Raiders offense as he can be used effectively as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. The Raiders are already splitting time in the backfield between starter Latavius Murray and rookies DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard. Adding Reece to the mix may take a few touches away in that rotation.
Bengals | Vontaze Burfict returning
Cincinnati Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict is eligible to return from his three-game suspension in Week 4.
