Tannehill completed 15 of 25 passes for 189 yards with a touchdown and interception in Thursday's 22-7 loss to the Bengals. He took five sacks and lost a fumble as well.

The stark reality of a complete absence of an NFL-caliber running attack smacked Tannehill and the Dolphins in the face in this one, as the Bengals seemed largely unconcerned with Miami's ground attack. Instead, they pinned their ears back and came after Tannehill, who was harassed frequently in addition to the five takedowns he endured. The highlight of the fifth-year pro's evening-- and that of the team as a whole for that matter-- was a pretty 74-yard scoring connection to a wide open Kenny Stills in the first quarter. Besides the typically reliable Jarvis Landry, who hauled in 70 percent of his 10 targets, Tannehill only completed two other passes to a receiver after that early bomb, both of which went to DeVante Parker. Tannehill and the Dolphins will now have 10 days to prepare for a rebound in a Week 5 home date with the Titans.

Wilson (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR reports.

"He's doing well," head coach Pete Carroll told the Seahawks' official site prior to drills. "He's going along just like we've seen the last few weeks. He's upbeat and feeling good, and he has worked really, really hard to do everything he can to be right, and he's going to [practice]. We'll know more after today what he feels like." Indeed, Wilson has brushed off the MCL sprain in his left knee and turned in an untarnished practice, just as he did after suffering a sprained right ankle in Week 1. Outside of drills, rehabilitation will consume the remainder of his preparation for Sunday's contest versus the Jets in New York. Although Wilson is trending toward active status, Carroll expects his starting QB to wear a knee brace if he suits up, which could hamper his noted ability to improvise.

Brissett (right thumb) was officially listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Both Brissett, who is dealing with a sprained thumb on his right (throwing) hand, and Jimmy Garoppolo (sprained right AC joint), were able to throw some Wednesday, though neither player would reveal the team's starting QB plans for Sunday's game against the Bills. "That's Coach [Bill Belichick]'s decision," Brissett declared Wednesday. "I can't make that decision."

Garoppolo (sprained right AC joint) was officially listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Garoppolo was able to do some throwing at practice Wednesday, but at this stage, it remains unclear whether he or Jacoby Brissett, who is dealing with a thumb injury, will draw the start at QB for the Patriots on Sunday against the Bills. "We'll see on Sunday. I don't know right now," Garoppolo noted Wednesday.

With top QB Tom Brady set to serve one last game of his four-game suspension to start the season, Brissett and Garoppolo remain the Patriots' only two rostered signal-callers as Sunday's game against the Bills approaches. The presence of the duo at practice Wednesday bodes well for one (if not both) of them being available this weekend, though the identity of the team's Week 4 starter has yet to be revealed.

Garoppolo (sprained right AC joint) "worked on pocket mobility and lighter throws" during the early stages of Wednesday's practice, the Boston Herald reports.

The same applies to Jacoby Brissett, with the report encouragingly noting that Garoppolo didn't appear to be favoring his shoulder and that Brissett didn't seem bothered by his right thumb issue. At this point, it looks like at least one, if not both, of the Patriots' signal-callers will be available for Sunday's game against the Bills, though who might draw the start for the contest has yet to be determined.

Garoppolo (shoulder) and Jacoby Brissett (thumb) were both present for the start of Tuesday's practice, ESPN.com reports.

While a return after just three days off was clearly too much to ask, Garoppolo could be ready to face Buffalo on Sunday, two weeks after spraining the AC joint in his right shoulder. It seems the Patriots expect Garoppolo and/or Brissett to be available, as the team hasn't made a roster move at quarterback since Thursday's win over the Texans. In any case, there's only one more game left for the taking, with Tom Brady set to return from his suspension in Week 5.

Brissett had tape around his throwing hand at Tuesday's practice, but he was able to play through the issue in the second half of Thursday's win over the Texans, and he may be available Sunday against Buffalo. Meanwhile, the Patriots are also hoping Garoppolo can play, sending Brissett back to the bench for the final game before Tom Brady returns from his four-week suspension. The Patriots did have T.J. Yates in for a workout last week, but the team's decision not to make a roster move suggests Garoppolo and/or Brissett will likely be available.

Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that he expects Wilson (knee) to practice Wednesday, before suiting up Sunday against the Jets in New York, Liz Mathews of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Carroll also expressed caution during the media session, but Wilson is "remarkably well off" for the type of play that resulted in his current diagnosis of a sprained MCL in his left knee. After suffering a sprained right ankle in the regular season opener, Wilson upheld Carroll's expectation with full practices throughout Week 2 preparations, but the quarterback's mobility has been noticeably lacking, with just 10 carries for 33 yards on the season. With a more serious injury in tow this time around, limited showings could very well be on the docket. However, after a few days of rehabilitation, Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether Wilson is again able to tough it out.

Wilson suffered a sprained MCL during Sunday's game against the 49ers, Liz Mathews of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Wilson's injury was confirmed by coach Pete Carroll during a Monday morning interview, when he also said the quarterback has already started rehabbing the injury. As it stands, it's unclear what Wilson's status for this Sunday's game against the Jets will be, especially since he's still nursing an ankle ailment, but escaping the gruesome-looking incident with just a sprained knee should be some relief for all parties involved. While Wilson's situation will certainly have to be monitored in the days, and likely weeks, to come, it wouldn't be surprising if the Seahawks sign a veteran quarterback to bolster their ranks outside of undrafted rookie Trevone Boykin at the position going forward.
