NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Patriots "hope" Rob Gronkowski (back) will be ready for Week 3, but "definitely" expect him back by Week 4.

Even more reason to take the Under

It's a 14 owner league so guys like Marlon Brown and G. Bernard matter. Which one would you play in a flex spot? Yards count, plus bonuses. Thanks and good luck!

I'd take G. Bernard over Marlon Brown in a standard scoring league.

Updating a previous item, Colts RB Vick Ballard tore his right ACL in Thursday's practice and will miss the remainder of the season.
The Colts have already placed Ballard on season-ending injured reserve and promoted RB Kerwynn Williams from the practice squad. Ahmad Bradshaw is now locked into lead-back duties, while first-round megabust Donald Brown will mix in as the No. 2

Jermichael Finley (toe) is listed as probable for Week 2 after a limited practice Friday.
Finley's toe checked out during his mid-week travel to see a specialist, and he practiced both on Thursday and Friday. He's worth starting in fantasy leagues against the Redskins, who struggle in coverage at safety

This is not good for Finley owners. Toes, groins, and hamstrings - bad, bad, and only get worse as the season goes on.

Leaving town to get an injury looked at is never good news.
kind of on the fence with even starting him this week. Got Myers from the Giants...
But most of his points came while they were in come back mode last week.

If Finley starts, I think you gotta start him on your fantasy team. However, I might be looking at trades and definitely watching the waiver wire big time. I don't trust Myers to be very good over the course of the whole season - maybe around #20ish? Good luck with Finley. Hopefully he will heal and get better.

Falcons coach Mike Smith confirmed Friday Roddy White (questionable, ankle) will play in Week 2 versus St. Louis.

[TheGame]

Heath Miller (knee) was limited in practice again Saturday and has been ruled out of Monday night's Week 2 game against the Bengals.
Miller practiced on a limited basis this week and continues to make progress in his rehab from major knee reconstruction. He's not expected back before Week 6 and is likely targeting an early October return

[TheGame]

Cardinals promoted WR Kerry Taylor from their practice squad.
Saturday signings are often made when teams anticipate injury situations affecting their Sunday rosters. Larry Fitzgerald is questionable with a hamstring injury, so it's possible Taylor's promotion is an indication the Cardinals are worried he'll miss Sunday's game against the Lions. Beat writer Darren Urban calls Taylor "Larry Fitzgerald insurance."

[TheGame]

DeMarco Murray expects to take on a bigger workload in Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Murray had 28 touches in Week 1, which was second behind only LeSean McCoy's 32 touches. The Cowboys are looking to use a more run-balanced offense with both Tony Romo and Dez Bryant playing through injuries. "I know they want to run it more, we’ll see how that goes," Murray said. "Its going to be good for our team."

[Go4Gusto13]

If you have DeMarco Murray I would suggest picking up his back up as a handcuff. If Murray continues with that kind of work load it won't be long before he gets injured. Injury prone. Think J. Randle is his back up.

NFL Network's Albert Breer reports Jermichael Finley (toe) will play on Sunday against the Redskins.
"He's fine," Breer said. "Normal maintenance." Finley is listed as probable, so he'll be all systems go.
