I hope you're feeling like a Miami Dolphins fan today. We've got the News and Notes you need so let's go. J Inside This Issue [] - [LAC: Mike Williams has torn ACL](#article-1) - [NO: Derek Carr week-to-week](#article-2) - [MIA: Jaylen Waddle progressing](#article-3) - [IND: Anthony Richardson still in protocol](#article-4) - [LVR: Jimmy Garoppolo in concussion protocol](#article-5) - [KC: Patrick Mahomes OK](#article-6) - [BAL: Josh Johnson returns to Baltimore](#article-7) - [CLE: Devin Asiasi to Browns practice squad](#article-8) [] 1. LAC: Mike Williams has torn ACL [Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport]( Updating previous reports, Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Week 3, and his season is over. Our view: Mike Williams is a fantastic player when healthy but now he's dealing with a serious injury that will cost him the rest of the 2023 season. Williams has a $32 million cap hit in 2024, but the team could move on from him and eat $12 million in dead money. The Chargers will move forward with Joshua Palmer and rookie first-round pick Quentin Johnston as no.2 and no.3 options behind Keenan Allen. [Back to Top](#top) [] 2. NO: Derek Carr week-to-week [Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero](=) New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder) is considered week-to-week with a sprained AC joint but has not been ruled out yet in Week 4, per sources Monday, Sept. 25. Our view: Carr is unlikely to be ready in Week 4 as he's dealing with a sprained AC joint. That means Jameis Winston gets to start against his old team (Buccaneers) on Sunday.

MIA: Jaylen Waddle progressing [Source: NFL Network - Cameron Wolfe](=) Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (concussion) is still in the concussion protocol but the team is optimistic about his progress, per sources Monday, Sept. 25. Our view: The Dolphins didn't need Waddle on Sunday as they dropped 70 points on the Broncos' defense. Waddle seemed to be close to returning in Week 3, so we feel good about his availability for Week 4. [Back to Top](#top) [] 4. IND: Anthony Richardson still in protocol [Source: CBS 4 Indianapolis - Mike Chappell]( Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (concussion) is still in the concussion protocol, per sources Monday, Sept. 25. Our view: The Colts went with Garnder Minshew in Week 3, and they won against the Ravens in overtime. Minshew is a solid veteran backup who can be an effective starter if they need him. Richardson will work his way through the league's concussion protocol and could be available this week. [Back to Top](#top) [] 5. LVR: Jimmy Garoppolo in concussion protocol [Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport]( Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) is in the concussion protocol, per sources Monday, Sept. 25. Our view: We'll see how he progresses during the week. The Raiders have veteran Brian Hoyer as their primary backup, and he's got plenty of starting experience if Garoppolo can't play in Week 4. However, we like rookie QB Aidan O'Connell, and we'd love to see him get an opportunity as a starter in this league. Before the draft, there were some who considered him a sleeper coming out of Purdue. He performed well at the Shrine Bowl, and O'Connell also flashed starter's ability in the preseason.

KC: Patrick Mahomes OK [Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero](=) Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle) is 'all good' after rolling his ankle in the Week 3 game, according to a source. Our view: Mahomes has played through nagging ankle problems before. He could be limited this week in practice to give him some rest, but he should be out there slinging passes all over the field for the Chiefs in Week 4. [Back to Top](#top) [] 7. BAL: Josh Johnson returns to Baltimore [Source: BaltimoreRavens.com](=) Free-agent QB Josh Johnson (Ravens) is re-signing with the Baltimore Ravens, per sources Monday, Sept. 25. Our view: Johnson has been on about half the rosters in the NFL, and he's been with the Ravens a few times over the course of his career. He'll work as the team's no.3 quarterback behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. [Back to Top](#top) [] 8. CLE: Devin Asiasi to Browns practice squad [Source: NFL.com]() Free-agent TE Devin Asiasi (Browns) is signing with the Cleveland Browns practice squad, per sources Monday, Sept. 25. Our view: Asiasi worked out for the Browns last week, and they decided to give him a shot. A former third-round pick (2020) of the Patriots, Asiasi was known as a receiving threat at UCLA but he's done little as a pro in that department (four career catches).
