Tuesday afternoon brought a new round of injury news on trade deadline day. Miami defensive tackle Zach Sieler needs season-ending biceps surgery after playing all of Sunday’s game with the injury. Dallas will be without tight end Jake Ferguson and running back Tyler Goodson for weeks. Washington will start Nick Allegretti at center on Thursday night because Lucas Patrick is in the concussion protocol, and Baltimore has no kicker on its roster after Atlanta signed Jake Moody off the Ravens’ practice squad.
- Zach Sieler (biceps): ruptured on the first play Sunday; season-ending surgery, with a recovery of five to six months
- Jake Ferguson (left knee): sprained PCL and MCL; out “multiple weeks,” Brian Schottenheimer said
- Tyler Goodson (knee): sprained MCL and ACL, according to a source; out multiple weeks, and Dallas will sign a running back
- Lucas Patrick (concussion): in the protocol; Nick Allegretti will start at center against the Giants on Thursday
- Tyler Loop (right groin): on injured reserve, and the Ravens have to find their third kicker of the season
- Kyler Murray (hamstring): still week-to-week, and the Vikings are calling around about a quarterback
Dolphins: Sieler out for the season
Sieler ruptured his biceps on the first play of Sunday’s loss to Detroit and played the rest of the game with it. He will have season-ending surgery, and the recovery is expected to take five to six months.
Cowboys: Ferguson and Goodson out for weeks
Schottenheimer said Ferguson has a sprained PCL and MCL in his left knee and will miss “multiple weeks.” Ferguson wore a large brace on that knee at a team event on Tuesday. Luke Schoonmaker, back from a groin injury, will take on more of the tight end work. Goodson, who was hurt in Sunday’s 27-23 win over the Colts, has a sprained MCL and ACL in his knee, according to a source, and will also miss multiple weeks.
Jerry Jones said on his weekly radio show that the Cowboys will add a running back on Tuesday, most likely a free agent and not through a trade. Kendre Miller, who was released by the Saints last week, was visiting Dallas on Tuesday.
Jones was also asked about receiver George Pickens (hamstring) and cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (ankle), who both sat out Sunday while in contract years. “100% pure injury related. Put it to rest,” Jones said. Dallas plays San Francisco on Sunday.
Commanders: Allegretti back at center for Thursday
Dan Quinn said Nick Allegretti will start at center against the Giants on Thursday night. Patrick, who left Sunday’s loss to the Rams at halftime, is in the concussion protocol and was listed as not participating on Monday’s estimated report. Matt Gulbin played center in the second half on Sunday because Allegretti had been practicing at guard, Quinn said.
Ravens: No kicker on the roster
The Falcons signed Jake Moody off Baltimore’s practice squad on Tuesday and released Nick Folk. Moody had made a 53-yard field goal in the rain in his only game for the Ravens last Thursday. Tyler Loop went on injured reserve with a right groin injury before that game and will be out for at least three more games, so the Ravens need a new kicker before Monday night’s game against the Chargers.
Jesse Minter said on Monday that he would keep updates on Lamar Jackson’s thumb injury “between me and him,” including whether Jackson needs surgery. Jacoby Brissett is expected to start against the Chargers.
Vikings: Calling around for a quarterback
Kyler Murray has a grade 2 hamstring strain and is still considered week-to-week. He is not on injured reserve, so Sunday’s game at Green Bay is the earliest he could return. After Carson Wentz went 8 of 25 for 81 yards with two interceptions on Monday night, the Vikings began calling other teams about a quarterback before the 4 p.m. ET deadline. Kevin O’Connell left trade questions to general manager Nolan Teasley after the game.

Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo went through the biggest injuries from Week 9 on Tuesday morning, including Puka Nacua’s knee, Sam Darnold’s quad and rib injuries, Gardner Minshew’s elbow and Michael Wilson’s neck injury. The Rams had not yet officially placed Nacua on injured reserve by Tuesday afternoon.
Other updates
- Cardinals: With Minshew likely out for the season, Arizona is signing quarterback Joey Aguilar to its active roster. Rookie Carson Beck is in line to start Sunday against the Rams
- Bengals: A planned trade for Eagles edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie, which would have added depth with Cashius Howell (wrist) on injured reserve, fell through on Tuesday afternoon
- Ravens: Safety Kyle Hamilton, who left last Thursday’s game with a hip injury, got a positive update from Minter on Monday
