Tua Tagovailoa was taken to a local hospital with head and neck injuries suffered on a second-quarter sack in Thursday night's game between the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals.

Tagovailoa hit the back of his head on the ground when he was sacked by Josh Tupou. His arms appeared to seize up almost immediately. 

He remained on the field for roughly 10 minutes before he was loaded onto a stretcher and taken away.

The Dolphins said just before halftime that he was conscious and had movement in all his extremities at the hospital. After the game, they said Tagovailoa was expected to be released from the hospital Thursday night and travel back to Miami with the team.

Mike McDaniel said Tagovailoa called for him when he went down.

"I could tell it wasn't the same guy that I was used to seeing," McDaniel said. "It was a scary moment. He was evaluated for a concussion. He's in the concussion protocol, but he's being discharged.

"It's an emotional moment. It's not a part of the deal you sign up for. His teammates and myself were very concerned, but he got checked out and it's nothing more serious than a concussion."

The Los Angeles Chargers have placed Joey Bosa and Rashawn Slater on injured reserve.

Bosa suffered a groin tear in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The edge rusher will undergo surgery, but Brandon Staley said it's anticipated that he will return this season.

"It's going to be a ways, but we expect him to come back," Staley said. "He's optimistic and ready to attack it. He's in a really good frame of mind. It's never easy when you have an injury like that."

At left tackle, Slater tore his left biceps tendon, causing him to undergo season-ending surgery.

Dak Prescott had stitches removed from his surgically repaired right thumb on Monday but won't start throwing immediately due to swelling.

"He still has some swelling that he has to deal with," Mike McCarthy said. "Once he gets past the swelling and the strengthening stage, then he'll get to the point where he'll be able to throw. He'll be dealing with more rehab this week and hopefully we'll get the swelling and the strength where it needs to be. But I do not have a timeline on when he'll start throwing."

There had been some speculation that Prescott could return for the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4, but that appears to be a long shot at this point.

Myles Garrett suffered a shoulder sprain and a biceps strain as well as cuts and bruises in the one-car crash he was involved in Monday afternoon, the Cleveland Browns said in a statement.

Garrett, 26, was released from a Cleveland hospital the same day after being treated for the injuries. 

His status for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons remains unclear.

The crash occurred after Garrett left practice at the Browns' training facility in Berea, Ohio.

Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered an ankle injury against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but the Detroit Lions don't view it as a long-term concern.

Tests on St. Brown's ankle were "encouraging."

Whether or not the wide receiver practices this week will go a long way towards whether or not he'll play in Week 4.

The New York Giants fear Sterling Shepard suffered a serious left knee injury, according to multiple sources.

The wide receiver underwent initial tests following Monday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

The non-contact injury happened in the final minutes of the Giants' 23-16 loss.

Shepard leads the Giants with 154 yards receiving yards through three games. He's also played the most snaps (157) of all the team's receivers.

Myles Garrett has been released from a Cleveland hospital after being treated for injuries he sustained in a one-car crash Monday afternoon.

The crash occurred after Garrett left the Browns' training facility.

The defensive end's agent, Nicole Lynn, said that he didn't break any bones in the accident.

Garrett's 2021 Porsche went off the side of the road and flipped over before coming to a rest. A female passenger who was in the vehicle was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Mac Jones is dealing with a severe high ankle sprain that would cause many to have surgery, according to sources.

The New England Patriots are likely to be without Jones for multiple games.

Jones suffered the injury late in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

"I'm just going to take it day by day, get my treatment and do what I do. Just see how I feel," the second-year quarterback said. "If you have any more of those type questions, talk to Coach [Bill] Belichick. I think he likes those questions."

Brian Hoyer is the Patriots' top backup, and fourth-round draft pick Bailey Zappe out of Western Kentucky has been the No. 3 option.

Justin Herbert finished out the Los Angeles Chargers' 38-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday despite being just 10 days removed from suffering a fracture to his rib cartilage.

"He wanted to be out there with his teammates," Brandon Staley said of the decision to send Herbert out for the team's final offensive series. "He felt good and he wanted to finish the game."

Staley took 20 questions during a seven-minute and 30-second postgame news conference. More than half of the questions were about Herbert and the risk the franchise quarterback faced by remaining in the game.

"I understand your entire line of questioning, I understand it," Staley said. "Justin is going to be feeling like this when he is out there playing. This injury is going to be there for awhile. If you guys know the injury, it's not like it's going to feel better next week or the week after that. This thing is going to be present for awhile. He felt good today and we're going to continue to manage it the best we can."

Staley said he "definitely" had a conversation with Herbert about remaining in the game and confirmed that the quarterback was adamant that he wanted to continue.

"I just didn't want to quit on the team," Herbert said.

Mac Jones is believed to have suffered a high ankle sprain Sunday during the closing stages of the New England Patriots' 37-26 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, according to a source.

The second-year quarterback will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis and determine its severity.

Initial tests revealed that the injury wasn't anything that would end his season, per a source.

The injury occurred on Jones' final pass attempt of the day, an interception late in the fourth quarter, when he was hit by Calais Campbell and immediately grabbed for his left ankle.
