Dolphins LB Anthony Walker is active for today's game against the Jets. He was questionable with a hamstring injury but finished the practice week with full Friday participation. Walker's OK as a lower-end IDP option -- albeit with some risk. His return figures to knock LB Tyrel Dodson back to a reserve role.
Dolphins LB Anthony Walker is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets. His progress through the practice week makes it look like he's trending toward playing, though. Walker sat out Wednesday's practice before going limited Thursday and full on Friday. If he can't go, then Tyrel Dodson would likely fill in for the second straight week.
ESPN's Brady Henderson reports that the Seahawks will be releasing LB Tyrel Dodson. The veteran has started all nine Seattle games this season and come off the field for just 10 total snaps. But he also ranks 70th in Pro Football Focus run-defense grade among 78 LBs who have played at least 200 snaps. Dodson has fared much better in coverage (10th). But the Seahawks apparently either disagree or don't care.
Seattle's starting LBs Tyrel Dodson and Jerome Baker are both active for today's game against the Patriots. Both players turned up questionable but should be ready for regular IDP use in a solid matchup.
The Seahawks have activated LB Jerome Baker and LB Tyrel Dodson from the physically unable to perform list. That should give both players plenty of time to get ready for their anticipated starting roles in a reworked defense.
The Seahawks placed LB Jerome Baker on the active/physically unable to perform list to begin training camp. Baker is still working back from the Week 18 right wrist injury that required surgery. He didn't do much in spring workouts with his new team either.
Bills LB Terrel Bernard managed to clear the concussion protocol and is active for tonight's game against the Broncos. It's a surprisingly quick turnaround after Bernard suffered his injury in last Sunday night's loss at Cincinnati. But that should keep him as Buffalo's lead LB for the game and render Tyrel Dodson a part-timer.
Bills LB Terrel Bernard is officially questionable for Monday night's game against the Broncos. We'd be surprised if he plays, though, eight days after sustaining a concussion in the loss to the Bengals. Bernard didn't advance past limited practice this week and hadn't cleared the protocol as of Saturday. He'd need to do so ahead of the early Sunday games to be a viable IDP option. Assuming Bernard sits, Tyrel Dodson would be the top LB option among Bills. He has ranked highest among Buffalo LBs in our Week 10 rankings. Rookie Dorian Williams will likely run second but isn't a real IDP option.
Bills LB Terrel Bernard left Sunday night's game against the Bengals with a concussion. He'll need to pass through the league protocol before returning. LB Tyrel Dodson ran second among Buffalo LBs the previous two weeks and figures to lead playing time at the position while Bernard is out. Most guys have missed at least the following week after suffering concussions this year, so expect to find Dodson among the top 36 LBs in our updated Week 10 rankings. The matchup with Denver has been positive for LB scoring.
According to multiple reports, the Bills' MLB job has come down to Tyrel Dodson vs. Terrel Bernard. And HC Sean McDermott has indicated it's even heading into the preseason games. The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia reports that Bernard left Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury. That's likely to keep Bernard out of Saturday night's exhibition opener, which could give Dodson an early advantage. It's also noteworthy that third-round rookie Dorian Williams is not in on this competition. We've had Bernard projected as the favorite in our IDP rankings, but Matt Milano might be the only Bills LB fit for most fantasy football leagues.
The Bills have ruled LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin, heel) and EDGE Greg Rousseau (ankle) out for Thursday's game against the Lions. It's not surprising for either player. We've had LB Tyrel Dodson in the Week 12 IDP rankings instead of him for most of the week. Buffalo will also likely be without EDGE A.J. Epenesa (ankle), who is doubtful.
The Bills have ruled LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin, heel) and EDGE Greg Rousseau (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Browns. CB Tre'Davious White (ACL recovery) is also not yet ready to make his season debut. S Jordan Poyer (elbow) is questionable. He finished the week with a full Friday practice, which seems to point to him playing. We'll confirm Poyer's status Sunday morning.
