The Jaguars and head coach Liam Coen have already landed Anthony Campanile as their defensive coordinator, so it’s possible this is some kind of positional coach role. Rivera has had multiple interviews this offseason, as he reportedly spoke with the Jets, Bears, and Raiders regarding their head coaching vacancies. After missing out on those jobs, the former Commanders’ head coach may have to settle a coach or coordinator role if he hopes to find his way back to the sidelines in 2025.

He’s out indefinitely and this will be a major blow for the Saints offense. There’s a chance he returns at some point later this season. He almost undoubtedly will end up on injured reserve in the next few days. Banks had a 73.5 PFF grade last year as one of the brighter rookie tackles of the class of 2025. Asim Richards would seem like the likely short-term replacement.

“Schematically, it wasn’t good,” LaFleur added, presumably while giving himself a wedgie. Harrison only saw one official target — another was wiped away by penalty — and he played just 74 percent of the snaps. The real problem here is that when the Cardinals ran well on offense in Week 1, Harrison had just one catch for 33 yards on three targets. He’s going to be hard to trust in any given week until we see it “click” in some way with LaFleur’s offense.

The Rams will announce their inactives 90 minutes before kickoff, but this is now the second time in two days that Schefter has suggested Nacua will not suit up tonight. Schefter said the team is “not giving up hope” that Nacua could still suit up, but also added, “it doesn’t sound promising right now.” If Nacua is unable to go in Week 2, Davante Adams would be an obvious favorite to see an increase in targets, while running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum could also get more involved as the Rams look for ways to move the ball against a Giants team that gave the Cowboys’ offense fits in Week 1.

He’s undergoing tests to determine the severity. That’s not normally the sort of story that ends with “and Brooks played a full allotment of snaps in Week 3,” but we’ll see. Brooks should be regarded as a drop candidate in shallow leagues on snaps and opportunities alone, but if he’s not healthy, that may expand to more leagues.

He pointed to the ailment being a “technical term for somewhere up in your shoulder, but it’s intact.” It doesn’t sound like we should expect Price to miss major time, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he were limited or missed some practice days this week in the wake of an injury. Emanuel Wilson will be the backup plan and a worthy waiver claim after his 22-carry performance against the Cardinals last week.

Stefanski said the team will “work through what that means for this week.” Time will tell whether or not that means Tagovailoa has a chance to play in Week 3 against the Packers on Thursday night, as the Falcons have a number of ways they can go at QB this week after another disastrous outing by Cooper Rush. Tagovailoa did not log a practice last week, but Michael Penix (knee) was a full participant. It would be fair to assume that Penix is closer to returning than Tua, but we’ll see where things stand when the team releases its estimated injury report later today.

That explains all the Ted Hurst from yesterday’s game. McMillan played just seven snaps and saw no targets. He enters Week 3 as a hard-to-trust FLEX even if he is healthy.

It sounds like Dobbins will be good to go for Week 3’s game against the Rams. Dobbins rushed 10 times for 36 yards in Sunday’s win over the Jaguars and didn’t return to the field. The 27-year-old back has dealt with multiple severe injuries throughout his career and has not looked particularly impressive in either of his first two games this year. Even if he is active, there’s little reason to trust him for fantasy purposes at this time.

KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson reports that a source familiar with the situation has already said the expectation is that Collins will not play in Week 3 against the Colts. We’ll see how he progresses throughout the week when the team releases its first injury report on Wednesday. If Collins is unable to play, the Texans will likely be looking at having Xavier Hutchinson, Kayshon Boutte, and Jaylin Noel as their top three receivers next week.

It was reported earlier that Williams appears to have avoided serious injury after undergoing an MRI on Monday. The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero also said that he could have a chance to play in Week 3’s game against the Eagles, but it’s worth noting that Johnson also said Williams “will likely miss some time.” This is already setting up to be an annoying injury for fantasy managers to navigate, with the Bears set to play on Monday night. We’ll see where things stand when the team releases its first injury report of the week on Thursday, but if he can’t play, Tyson Bagent would get the nod against a stout Eagles defense.
