The New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is expected to play in Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions, sources revealed early Sunday. Olave suffered a concussion during the Saints’ 24-15 loss to the Atlanta Falcons last weekend.

Officially listed as questionable, Olave had limited participation in the Saints’ team practices on Wednesday and Thursday before having full participation in Friday’s practice session.

The wide receiver went down injured in the third quarter of the Falcons clash, falling hard after leaping in an attempt to make a high catch on the Saints’ sideline. After it became apparent that the player couldn’t rise to his feet after his fall, the Saints’ trainers made their way onto the field to assist him. He was escorted to the medical tent for further evaluations and then the locker room; not returning for the remainder of the match.

Until leaving the field, Olave made seven catches for 114 yards against the Falcons. For the season to date, Olave is leading his team with three receiving touchdowns and has made 63 catches for 771 yards.

The Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce is expected to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, a source familiar with the matter revealed on Saturday night. The running back was listed as questionable for the game due to suffering an ankle injury.

Pierce’s inclusion in Sunday’s game will be a major relief for the Texans. Appearing in seven games this season, Pierce has rushed for 327 yards and managed a touchdown on 109 carries. He is second on the team in rushing behind Devin Singletary with 471 yards.

The Texans have enjoyed a strong start to the current season, winning three straight games to ensure four wins out of five. This puts the team just one game behind the Jaguars for first place in the AFC South, meaning that Sunday’s game could result in the Texans overtaking them with a win.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips suffered an Achilles injury during the team’s 34-13 win over the New York Jets on Thursday night.

“It’s his Achilles — doesn’t look great, but we’ll find out more tomorrow,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said in his latest update on Phillips. “Yeah, I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but not fired up about it.”

Phillips went down during the fourth quarter with a non-contact lower leg injury. The television replay indicated that his left calf was firing, which is a telling sign of a ruptured Achilles tendon. Unable to rise, Phillips was carted off the field in an emotional state.

Phillips took to X to spread a message of hope to his fans in the face of his injury. Should Phillips be unavailable for an extended period, Andrew van Ginkel and defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah would be expected to play a bigger role in the team going forward.

The New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is expected to return to action in Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. The wide receiver was listed as questionable after injuring his right elbow, however, he revealed that he is leaning toward playing.

“It’s doing better,” Wilson confirmed to reporters following a practice session with his team on Friday. “I’m feeling good, so we’re going to rock this weekend.” He suffered his injury during last week’s 16-12 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, however, he was able to complete the game, making nine catches for 93 yards.

Wilson’s inclusion in Sunday’s game will be warmly welcomed by the Jets, who are in desperate need of a win after dropping two straight games to go 4-5. He leads the team with 55 catches for 642 yards and two touchdowns.

The Milwaukee Bucks forward Jae Crowder is expected to be unavailable through injury for approximately two months, the team confirmed on Monday. The forward suffered a left adductor and abdominal tear during last Saturday’s 112-97 defeat to the Orlando Magic.

Initially, the team announced that Crowder had experienced a groin strain. He then jetted off to Philadelphia to be evaluated by Dr. Bill Meyers, who specializes in core injuries, who detected the true nature of Crowder’s injuries.

“Sports can be brutal at times,” Bucks coach Adrian Griffin said ahead of his team’s 118-109 win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. “[Crowder] came into training camp in phenomenal shape — mind, body and spirit — and he’s a tremendous piece of what we’re trying to do moving forward.” Crowder is now scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday.

The Miami Dolphins preseason clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars came to a premature halt with eight minutes and 32 seconds left on the clock after Dolphins’ receiver Daewood Davis went down after taking a hit from Jaguars linebacker Dequan Jackson. After being immobilized on a backboard, Davis was carted off the field. The Jaguars were leading 31-18 when the game was called.

“Obviously, not anything you want to see,” Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence commented. “Obviously, a tough scene. The game we all love to play and to see a guy go down like that … I know we’re all thinking about [him].”

Later on Saturday, the Dolphins posted an update on social media stating that Davis had been transported to the Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville for further treatment. The team added that Davis was conscious and that he expressed movement in all his extremities.

The Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has entered concussion protocol after displaying concussion symptoms, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel confirmed on Monday.

Tagovailoa displayed and admitted to having concussion symptoms during discussions with team doctors on Monday, prompting them to place Tagovailoa immediately into concussion protocol. The quarterback is believed to have suffered a concussion during the Dolphins’ 26-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, however, McDaniel remains unsure on which play he suffered the injury.

This is the second time that Tagovailoa has been placed into concussion protocol this season, the first time coming in Week 4 after he took a hit during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was hospitalized after his head hit the turf and remained on the sidelines for the next two games.

Backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is expected to step to take first-team snaps, however, McDaniel has so far refused to name a replacement quarterback for the game against the New England Patriots on Sunday, explaining that it is still too early to decide.

“I just want guys to really be done right by, by the information we have, the science, and all the medical expertise that we rely on,” McDaniel said to the press. “I care very deeply about each and every player, I take that very serious. I just want him to get healthy and have peace of mind in that regard. … It’s about the human being and making sure he’s squared away.”

The Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle La’el Collins is expected to miss the remainder of the season after incurring a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee during his team’s 22-18 win over the New England Patriots on Saturday.

Collins collapsed during the first quarter of Saturday’s game after Patriots defensive lineman Davon Godchaux rolled up on his leg. Following the game, preliminary tests that were performed on Collins indicated that his left knee had not undergone any structural damage as a result of his clash with Godchaux. The player is still awaiting an MRI to get more information on the extent of the injury.

After signing a three-year, $21 million contract with the Bengals during the 2022 offseason, Collins has started 15 games at right tackle. He was brought in along with three other new starters to reinforce Cincinnati’s lineup after quarterback Joe Burrow was sacked 70 times last season during the regular season and the playoffs combined.

Following his injury, Collins was replaced by Hakeem Adeniji, who started at right guard for the Bengals during Super Bowl LVI. Adeniji is widely expected to be Collins’ replacement for the rest of the season.

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts picked up a sprain in his right throwing shoulder during his team’s 25-20 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, league sources reported. As a result, the quarterback’s availability for Saturday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys is in doubt.

Hurts’ injury occurred during the third quarter of the Bears’ clash when he was driven to the ground by defensive lineman Trevis Gipson. After spending a few moments on the ground, Hurts was able to rise to his feet and continue playing for the remainder of the game.

It wasn’t the first time I’ve been slow [to get up], it won’t be the last,” Hurts explained following his team’s win. “I did play a really physical game, and it was real cold, too. So happy we were able to find a win and in the end find a way.”

While Hurts’ potential absence from the team on Saturday remains a concern, the Eagles find themselves in a prime position to proceed to the playoffs. A win against the Cowboys will see the Eagles become the number-one seed in the NFC.

The Denver Broncos received news on Monday that the injuries to wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and center Graham Glasgow are not as serious as the team first suspected. Coach Nathaniel Hackett further stated that both players’ injuries will be assessed on a day-to-day basis this week.

Jeudy suffered an ankle injury during the Broncos’ 17-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, thereby having to leave the field during the first play from scrimmage. Glasgow was injured during the same game, picking up a right shoulder injury late in the third quarter which forced him to leave the game as well.

Right tackle Billy Turner and nickel cornerback K’Waun Williams were also injured during the Titans game, however, both players will be unavailable for a longer term. Hackett said that they were “week-to-week” after both incurring knee injuries.

Before receiving the update on Jeudy’s injury, the Broncos were concerned that his injury was of a serious nature as, during the Broncos’ first play from scrimmage, Jeudy grabbed at his left ankle mid-run and had to be escorted off the field. He then underwent an MRI and was placed in a walking boot.
