Regardless, there’s little dispute that Garoppolo will nearly certainly be sidelined for Thursday’s contest against the Houston Texans with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, meaning rookie Jacoby Brissett will be tasked with leading the Patriots in primetime.

After Brissett took over at QB and helped secure a 31-24 win for the New England Patriots over the Miami Dolphins, Edelman praised Brissett in an odd way.
The list of Sunday’s casualties was pretty substantial. The New England Patriots entered Sunday with just two quarterbacks.
At 39, Brady could retire or wear down without notice, so having an heir in waiting could help the Patriots continue of the most successful dynasties in National Football League history.
New England Patriots improved to 2-0 with a 31-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins, but lost Jimmy Garoppolo in the process. But this is four years later, it’s the other knee, and he was unable to put pressure on his leg as he hobbled off the field. He immediately went to the locker room and did not return.
The Dolphins, who beat the Patriots in Miami in last season’s finale, had no answers for New England’s offense early and fell into a 24-0 hole as they were stymied by three turnovers.
In that game, Newton threw four touchdown passes which gave Carolina a 46-27 win over San Francisco. Los Angeles managed to muster nine points in the contest, as Case Keenum did not turn the ball over once. No back can gain yardage when there’s just no place to run. Bradford threw for 286 yards and two touchdowns in the game.
-Browns center Cameron Erving was released from University Hospitals of Cleveland after being held overnight for observation because of he was diagnosed with a pulmonary contusion. “He is in stable condition and is undergoing further testing at University Hospitals”.
Redskins nose tackle Kedric Golston injured his right hamstring on the first play from scrimmage and missed the rest of Washington’s 27-23 loss to Dallas.
The injury likely was suffered during the the waning minutes of the first half against the Titans. Detroit also lost running back Ameer Abdullah and tight end Eric Ebron in that game, one in which the Lions wasted a 15-3 lead and lost 16-15.
Touchdowns from Kenny Stills, Jordan Cameron and Kenyan Drake set up a tense finish but Duron Harmon intercepted Ryan Tannehill’s “Hail Mary” in the closing seconds to ice the win. He was immobilized and placed on a backboard before being carted off the field. Fox Sports reported that Williams was moving his extremities at a nearby hospital and was being evaluated for a concussion. In the receiving end Martellus Bennett posted 114 yards and a TD in five catches while Julian Edelman added 76 yards in seven receptions.
Blount wasn’t the only one hurdling people Sunday.
14-19, 197 yards, 2 touchdowns.
Garoppolo had three first-half touchdown passes when he got hurt. The product of N.C. State finished the game completing 6 of 9 passes for 92 yards.

With only rookie Cody Kessler on the roster for the position, maybe a one-armed McCown, 37, is a better choice for the woeful Browns.”We will see”, he said. “That simple. He’s a heck of a player, a future Hall of Famer”. It’s insane. I don’t have anything left in the tank, yet they want you to drug test.
