AFC Notes: Dolphins, Raiders, Ravens, Texans

Dolphins

Dolphins HC Adam Gase told reporters that there’s a “high probability” G Ted Larsen will play this year, despite sustainingย a biceps injury.

โ€œI think thereโ€™s a really high probability that heโ€™ll play this year,โ€ Gase said, via Pro Football Talk. โ€œNormally it wouldโ€™ve been an injury where heโ€™d be done for the year, but with the way the rules are built, we should have a chance to get him back. It was disappointing because he was probably our most consistent guy day in and day out. I hate to see that for him because heโ€™s worked so hard to understand what weโ€™re doing. Heโ€™s brought a great attitude. Heโ€™s a great veteran presence. Losing him hurts, but the next guy will step up and weโ€™ll keep rotating guys in to figure out who it is going to be.โ€

Raiders

  • Michael Gehlken reports that Raiders S Keith McGill suffered a Jones fracture during Saturday’s practice that will require foot surgery.

Ravens

Ravens OC Marty Mornhinwegย mentioned that they’re “not quite there yet” in regards to having a plan for integrating Joe Flacco when he returns from a back injury.

โ€œTheย important thing isย [that] there will come a time where we have a plan for him, and weโ€™re not quite there yet, and it may come pretty quick,โ€ Mornhinweg said, via theย Baltimore Sun. โ€œSo weโ€™ll see. Maybe Iโ€™m hoping and wishing, but I hope that comes pretty quickly.

โ€œBy Joeโ€™s account, heโ€™s getting better and feeling better and all those things,โ€ Mornhinweg said. โ€œWhen heโ€™s back, itโ€™ll be a good thing to get him back. From here until that time, weโ€™re rocking and rolling with the fellow we have.โ€

Texans

  • John McClain of the Houston Chronicle mentions thatย Tom Savage has been “terrific” in the first two weeks of training camp and is clearly the team’s No. 1 quarterback.
  • As for first-round QB Deshaun Watson, McClainย says that he has worked his way into the backup role and taken every snap in camp with the second-team offense after opening as the No. 3 quarterback.
