News

  • Agrees to deal with Raiders

    Dorsett has agreed to sign with the Raiders, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: In 15 games with the Texans in 2022, Dorsett recorded 20 catches for 257 yards and a touchdown on 40 targets. This coming season, the 30-year-old figures to handle a complementary role in a Raiders' wideout corps led by Davante Adams and pending free agent addition Jakobi Meyers.

  • Ruled out for finale

    Dorsett (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: Dorsett was unable to practice Friday after a limited session Thursday and was subsequently ruled out. He finishes the 2022 season with 20 catches for 257 yards and one touchdown on 40 targets.

  • Limited due to hamstring issue

    The Texans listed Dorsett as a limited practice participant Thursday due to a hamstring issue.

    Analysis: Dorsett wasn't included on the Texans' initial Week 18 practice report issued Wednesday, so his addition a day later might suggest that he suffered the injury at some point during Thursday's practice. The wideout will have another chance Friday to practice in some capacity before the Texans decide whether he carries an injury designation into Sunday's season finale in Indianapolis.

  • Season-high targets in loss

    Dorsett caught three of a season-high six targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Jacksonville in Week 17.

    Analysis: Dorsett, who played 39 snaps, has benefitted from Nico Collins' season-ending foot injury and racked up 16 targets over the last five weeks while averaging 44 snaps. His playing time dipped the last two weeks with Brandin Cooks' return from a calf injury, but Dorsett remains involved in a weak passing attack.

  • Leads Houston in receiving yards

    Dorsett recorded three catches on three targets for 45 yards in Saturday's 19-14 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Dorsett finished with fewer targets than both Brandin Cooks and Chris Moore, though he was the most efficient of the group with his opportunity. All three of his receptions came in the fourth quarter, highlighted by 20 and 18-yard gains. With an increased role in the absence of Nico Collins (foot), Dorsett managed to top 40 receiving yards for the first time since Week 9.

  • One target in loss

    Dorsett did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: With Houston's top two wide receivers unavailable due to injury for a second consecutive week, Dorsett once again was given ample playing time, and for a second consecutive week his production was meager. The veteran wideout has four catches on seven targets for 36 yards over his last three games.

  • Fails to produce with expanded role

    Dorsett recorded two receptions on three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Dorsett was expected to see an expanded role in the absence of Brandin Cooks (groin) and Nico Collins (groin). However, he was out-produced by both Chris Moore and Amari Rodgers while delivering a disappointing performance of his own. Dorsett will fade to an even further peripheral role in the offense once one of Cooks or Collins is able to return, though he's proven unreliable even in their absences.

  • Added snaps on tap Sunday

    Dorsett is in line to work as a starting outside wide receiver during Sunday's game against the Cowboys, as the Texans have ruled out both Nico Collins (foot) and Brandin Cooks (calf) for the contest, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: The 5-foot-10, 192-pound Dorsett and the 6-foot-1, 200-pound Chris Moore will presumably see most of the reps on the perimeter for Houston, while the lone other healthy receiver on the 53-man roster -- the 5-foot-9, 212-pound Amari Rodgers -- lacks the speed to play on the outside and is better suited for the slot role. Houston will likely add a receiver or two from the practice squad Saturday to restore some depth at the position, but Dorsett should be primed for a heavy snap count…read more

  • Steps in for injured Cooks

    Dorsett caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Dorsett saw a boost in playing time with Brandin Cooks (calf) sidelined, but Nico Collins (10 targets) was the main beneficiary. Houston's passing offense is near the bottom of the league, which makes it hard for fantasy managers to rely on any of the team's wideouts.

  • Starting role awaits

    Dorsett is expected to serve as one of the Texans' three starting receivers Sunday against the Browns with Brandin Cooks (calf) inactive for the contest, Aaron Wilson of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Nico Collins has drawn at least seven targets in each of the past three games and should serve as Houston's clear No. 1 receiver Sunday, but the absence of Cooks will at least open up more work for Dorsett and Chris Moore. When Cooks and Collins were both sidelined Week 9 against the Eagles, Dorsett played 77 percent of the Texans' offensive snaps and finished with three receptions for 69 yards on five targets.

  • Targeted twice in loss

    Dorsett caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 30-15 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Dorsett's caught just 10 of 24 targets this season, but that says more about the quarterback situation in Houston than the wide receiver. He's survived numerous challenges from practice-squad members and waiver claims but has held onto the No. 4 wideout job. The next challenger for his spot could be Amari Rodgers, claimed off waivers from Green Bay, but he's has been a healthy inactive for two games since he was added to the roster.

  • Targeted once in loss

    Dorsett did not catch his lone target and played 14 snaps in Sunday's 23-10 loss to Washington

    Analysis: Dorsett's usage was down after he entered the game on an upswing, having caught eight of 17 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown over the last four games. The Texans claimed wideout Amari Rodgers off waivers from Green Bay last week, so Dorsett's role could diminish even further down the stretch.

  • Upgrades to full practice

    Dorsett (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Dorsett's full workout Thursday puts him in line to suit up Sunday against the Giants, but the receiver could be in line for a more muted role after compiling 10 targets between the past two contests while playing more than three-quarters of the Texans' snaps on offense in both of those games. Houston's top two wideouts -- Nico Collins (chest) and Brandin Cooks (wrist) -- both sat out the team's Week 9 loss to the Eagles, but the two were able to practice Thursday in a limited capacity and are…read more

  • Limited due to ankle injury

    Dorsett (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Dorsett filled in as a starter last Thursday against the Eagles, catching three of five targets for 69 yards in a 29-17 loss with both Brandin Cooks (personal/wrist) and Nico Collins (groin) inactive. Collins returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, while Cooks is back with the team but didn't practice. If at least one of the top two wideouts suits up this Sunday against the Giants, Dorsett would be in store for a reduced role.

  • Team-high receiving yardage total

    Dorsett secured three of five targets for 69 yards in the Texans' 29-17 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Dorsett enjoyed an expanded role with Brandin Cooks (wrist/personal) and Nico Collins (groin) unavailable, and he took advantage of the opportunity by posting a team-high receiving yardage tally. Dorsett also tied Chris Moore for the team lead in targets, and although Cooks at minimum could be back in action for a Week 10 matchup versus the Giants, Dorsett has demonstrated some utility as a complementary option by posting a 6-120-1 line over his last three games.

  • Could see expanded role Thursday

    Dorsett may see expanded opportunities Thursday against the Eagles with Nico Collins (groin) ruled out and Brandin Cooks (wrist/personal) listed as questionable but not expected to play, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: With Collins out this past Sunday against the Titans, Dorsett started and logged 45 of a possible 54 snaps on offense en route to catching one of his five targets for six yards. Now that Cooks is on track to sit out Thursday along with Collins, Dorsett and Chris Moore likely will lead the Texans' Week 9 wideout corps, with Tyron Johnson also in the mix as a third option at receiver. While no member of the trio profiles as a high-percentage fantasy lineup option, Dorsett should at least log…read more

  • Does little with five targets

    Dorsett caught one of five targets for six yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: With Nico Collins (groin) sidelined, Dorsett saw a season high in targets but wasn't able to get on the same page as quarterback Davis Mills. No. 1 wideout Brandin Cooks is rumored to be on the trade block, so even if Collins is back in action next week against the Eagles, Dorsett could still find himself in a starting role and with an opportunity to develop some chemistry with Mills in the second half.

  • Waiting on opportunity

    Dorsett is likely to step into a starting role at receiver Sunday against the Titans if Nico Collins (groin) is unable to play, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Following Collins' early exit in the Week 7 loss to the Raiders, Dorsett stepped in as the primary replacement and caught two of three targets for 45 yards -- including a 25-yard touchdown -- over a season-high 35 snaps. The two receivers are notably different in stature and frame, so the 5-foot-10, 192-pound Dorsett wouldn't be used in the same fashion as Collins (6-foot-4, 215 pounds). That means instead of having a matchup advantage based on size, Dorsett will have to use his speed and sense…read more

  • Finds end zone in loss to Raiders

    Dorsett caught two of three targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: The veteran wideout's only reception of the season prior to Sunday came back in Week 3, but Dorsett got a little more involved in this one and got into the end zone for the first time since 2019 when he hauled in a 25-yard toss from Davis Mills late in the third quarter. Houston's thin WR group got a little thinner Sunday when Nico Collins suffered a groin injury, and Brandin Cooks might be on the trade block, so Dorsett could be headed for a much more significant role in Week 8 against the…read more

  • Minimal role in win

    Dorsett wasn't targeted over 11 snaps on offense Sunday in the Texans' 13-6 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: With Chris Moore (hip) sitting out Week 5, Dorsett appeared to be in a good spot to earn more work, but the little-used Tyler Johnson (25 snaps) was the primary beneficiary instead. Dorsett has appeared in four games this season, catching one pass on four targets for 15 yards.

  • Active for Week 3

    Dorsett caught his lone target for 15 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bears in Week 3.

    Analysis: Dorsett returned to the active roster after a Week 2 inactive and played 13 snaps. He remains the No. 4 option behind Chris Moore (31 snaps) on the depth chart in a low-wattage Houston passing game.

  • Inactive in Week 2

    Dorsett (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 clash against the Broncos.

    Analysis: After logging four snaps in the Week 1 tie with the Colts and failing to come up with his lone target, Dorsett won't see the field in Week 2. The veteran speedster's inactive status locks in No. 4 receiver duties for Chris Conley versus Denver.

  • Four snaps in opener

    Dorsett played just four snaps and failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 20-20 tie with Indianapolis.

    Analysis: After a promising three-game stint with the Texans last December, Dorsett put together a good preseason that suggested a bigger role awaited him than a four-snap cameo. Chris Moore (34 snaps) and Chris Conley (10 snaps), who was elevated from the practice squad, got more run that Dorsett in Houston's opener.

  • Impacts Friday's game

    Dorsett caught three of three targets for 48 yards in Friday's preseason win over the Rams. He also returned one kickoff for 14 yards.

    Analysis: Dorsett was involved in two of Houston's three touchdown drives. Late in the first half, he hauled in a 32-yard throw while staying in bounds to set up the Texans' first score. He also drew a pass interference penalty, advancing the ball 46 yards, on the game-winning drive. The speedy wideout has a reputation as a deep threat, but Dorsett ran routes on the outside (65 percent) and inside (35 percent) in 2021, per Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle, which could be helpful to an offense that…read more

  • Two catches Saturday

    Dorsett caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Saturday's 17-13 preseason win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Dorsett played 21 snaps, all in the first half, and appears ticketed for a spot among the team's top five wide receivers. Houston's leading options at the position (Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins) did not play, which gave plenty of opportunities for those further down the depth chart. After those two, some order of Dorsett, Chris Conley and Chris Moore should follow. If the Texans carry six wideouts, players like Jalen Camp (four targets, two catches, 53 yards, one TD) or Connor Wedington…read more

    Dorsett has been running daily and will be ready when Houston begins training camp in July, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Dorsett made the claim, one which has been heard by many a player rehabbing an injury during the offseason, that he's "in the best shape of his life." After one week on the Texans' practice squad last December, he was signed to the active roster. Dorsett appeared in three games -- each week, his production increased -- before the season ended prematurely by a foot injury. Houston's wide receiver room is led by Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins, which leaves Dorsett batting with Chris Conley…read more

    The Texans placed Dorsett (foot) on injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Dorsett will miss the final two games of the regular season after injuring his foot in the Texans' Week 16 win over the Chargers. The 2015 first-round pick will end his 2021 campaign with seven catches for 110 yards across six appearances with three different teams. However, the majority of that production (three catches and 55 yards) came during the game in which he got injured.

  • Expected to miss final two games

    Dorsett (foot) is expected to miss the final two games of the season but won't need surgery, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Dorsett injured his foot leaping for a pass in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Chargers and was unable to return to the contest. He finished what will likely be his last game of the season with three catches for 55 yards. The 28-year-old spent time with the Jaguars, Seahawks and Texans during the 2021 campaign and will likely draw some interest from teams in need of veteran wideout depth during the offseason.

  • Injures foot

    Dorsett was forced out of Sunday's game against the Chargers with a foot injury.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Dorsett caught three of his six targets for 55 yards. In his absence, Nico Collins, Chris Conley, and Chris Moore will head Houston's Week 16 wideout corps.

  • Big catch in win

    Dorsett secured two of three targets for 43 yards in the Texans' 30-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran speedster got loose downfield for a 33-yard grab on one of his two catches and checked in a distant second to Brandin Cooks in receptions and receiving yards. The fact Dorsett was involved to an appreciable degree in only his second game with the Texans is encouraging, and although Houston is completely devoid of postseason aspirations, he and Cooks serve as an explosive receiving duo for rookie signal-caller Davis Mills for what's left of the regular season.

  • Heavy-ish workload Week 14

    Dorsett caught one of three targets for nine yards and had one carry for no gain in Sunday's 33-13 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Dorsett, who joined the Texans' organization 10 days ago, was put to immediate use after Davion Davis left the game with an ankle injury. He played 39 snaps (48 percent share), which is significant for a newcomer. Dorsett has very little experience in the offense or familiarity with rookie quarterback Davis Mills, but that could develop over the final weeks of the season if Davis is unavailable.

  • Moves up to active roster

    The Texans signed Dorsett to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: It didn't take long for Dorsett to make his way up to the active roster after joining the practice squad earlier this week. As a result, the veteran wide receiver is now set to appear on his third team this season. The 28-year-old has just one reception despite being active for three games in 2021, but with the Texans lacking any reliable veteran targets outside of Brandin Cooks (back) and Chris Conley, it's possible Dorsett could be involved more Sunday.

    Dorsett signed with the Texans' practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Dorsett will join his third team of the season after spending time with Jacksonville and Seattle. With Danny Amendola (knee) being placed on injured reserve Saturday, Dorsett will try to provide some emergency depth for the Texans and ultimately earn another shot on an active roster.

    The Seahawks cut Dorsett from their practice squad Tuesday.

  • Back in Seattle

    Dorsett signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Dorsett was on the Seahawks' roster for the entire 2020 season, but he didn't play a game due to a foot injury. The 2015 first-round pick suited up for the Jaguars in Week 3 against the Cardinals but logged just one target on seven offensive snaps. He was subsequently cut. The speedster could get an opportunity if Tyler Lockett (hip) or DK Metcalf (foot) miss time.

  • Let go by Jacksonville

    The Jaguars released Dorsett from their practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Dorsett played in his first NFL game Sunday since 2019 and failed to record a catch on just one target. He has been released from Jacksonville's practice squad in favor of kicker Matthew Wright, who will look to provide competition to a struggling Josh Lambo.

    Analysis: Dorsett hasn't played in an NFL game since 2019 and will likely provide depth at wide receiver with the Jaguars' entire pass-catching corps healthy ahead of Sunday's contest.

  • Signed to Jags' practice squad

    The Jaguars signed Dorsett to their practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Dorsett didn't make Jacksonville's initial 53-man roster, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him be bumped from the practice squad at some point during the 2021 season. The 2015 first-round pick missed the entire 2020 campaign due to a foot injury, and in the previous five seasons, he operated as an occasional deep threat on offense for the Patriots and Colts.

  • Proclaims full health

    Dorsett (foot) said at his introductory press conference with the Jaguars on Monday that he's back to 100 percent health, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Dorsett's foot injury kept him from suiting up for a single game with the Seahawks last season, but it looks like he's already received full clearance after undergoing November surgery. The veteran speedster can be considered on track for the tentative start of Jacksonville's offseason program, which would allow him ample time to build chemistry with whichever quarterback the Jaguars select at No. 1 overall in April's draft.

    Dorsett (foot) agreed to terms Monday on a contract with the Jaguars, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dorsett was held out of the entire 2020 season after suffering a right foot injury during training camp. He underwent surgery to remove bone spurs from the injured foot in November, so he's already more than four months into his recovery from the procedure. Once back to full health, he'll contribute as a deep threat in Jacksonville's receiver corps.

    Dorsett (foot) didn't play a game during the 2020 season.

    Analysis: Dorsett suffered a right foot injury during training camp and eventually underwent surgery to remove bone spurs from the injured foot in November. The 2015 first-round pick never suited up as a result, but head coach Pete Carroll relayed that he wants to bring Dorsett back next year, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times.

    Analysis: Dorsett missed the first months of the season due to a right foot injury before undergoing surgery to clean out bone spurs in early November. The 27-year-old wideout has struggled to recover, and he's unlikely to be activated from IR. Dorsett will be a free agent in March.

    Analysis: Dorsett has been on IR since late September and is seven weeks removed from surgery to clean out bone spurts in his right foot.

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Dorsett "is not doing well" and his foot "has not responded" to recent increased activity, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dorsett developed foot soreness late in training camp and missed the first three games of the season before the Seahawks placed him on injured reserve. Less than two weeks ago, Carroll praised Dorsett, saying he had his best workout since August and was drawing closer to a return to the active roster. He seems to have suffered a setback, and while it's unclear if surgery will be ordered up, he doesn't appear close to being in consideration for activation from IR.

    Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Dorsett (foot) turned in his best workout since training camp, AJ McCord of KOIN 6 News Portland reports.

    Analysis: The Seahawks haven't officially designated Dorsett to return from injured reserve, so the wideout won't be able to take practice reps with his healthy teammates until that happens. Dorsett thus appears poised to remain sidelined for Sunday's game in Arizona, though he could have a more realistic chance at making his Seahawks debut Week 8 if his recovery from the foot issue continues to trend in the right direction.

    Analysis: Carroll also relayed Dorsett's foot didn't respond well to limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday of last week, which may force the Seahawks to make a roster move. It's unclear if Carroll means an IR stint or cutting Dorsett loose entirely, but the wide receiver's sore foot apparently won't dissipate.

    Analysis: The downgrade from limited participation Wednesday and Thursday to an absence at the end of the week suggests Dorsett is in danger of missing a second straight game. It isn't clear he'll have a major role even if he plays, and we may not have a final answer on his status until the Seahawks release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

    Analysis: Dorsett logged a pair of limited practices last week before downgrading to DNP on Friday and ultimately missing a 38-25 win over the Falcons. His ability to practice on a limited basis each day this week suggests he has some shot to play Week 2, but it isn't clear he'll be a big part of the Seattle offense even if he's available. David Moore worked as the No. 3 receiver last week, picking up 40 yards on four touches while playing 53 percent of offensive snaps.

    Analysis: Dorsett began last practice week as a limited participant, so this doesn't necessarily mean he's making progress. The limited showing illustrates that he's at least avoided a setback, though he'll probably need to graduate to full activity Thursday or Friday to ensure he makes his Seahawks debut Sunday versus his former team, the Patriots.

    Head coach Pete Carroll said Dorsett is "the fastest guy we've ever had here," Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: It's not surprising that Dorsett's speed hasn't faded since 2015 when he ran a 4.33-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. Carroll went as far to estimate that the 27-year-old was sub-4.30, and while that's probably a bit hyperbolic, Dorsett's wheels certainly passed the eye test with the Patriots last year.

    Analysis: The speedy Dorsett, who caught 29 passes for 397 yards and five TDs in 14 games with the Patriots last season, now has a chance to claim Seattle's No. 3 wideout role behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. It's a new team context that could garner the 2015 first-rounder added volume after he only saw 54 targets in 2019, although the Seahawks don't exactly feature a high-volume passing attack -- Russell Wilson attempted nearly 100 fewer passes than Tom Brady in 2019.

    Dorsett finished the 2019 regular season with 29 catches (on 54 targets) for 397 yards and five TDs in 14 games. He also logged three carries for 21 yards.

    Analysis: The 2015 first-rounder started the season with a two-TD effort in Week 1, but his subsequent production was hit-or-miss and he finished things out by working as the team's No. 4 wide receiver (behind Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu and N'Keal Harry) in the Patriots' wild-card loss to the Titans.

The speedster hadn't logged a target his previous two games and failed to come up with his pair of looks three contests ago, so Sunday's sole reception was actually a step up.

    Analysis: Dorsett wasn't targeted in the game and was out-snapped by both N'Keal Harry (37) and Jakobi Meyers (14). With Julian Edelman and Mohamed Sanu also in the mix, Dorsett's fantasy upside is limited so long as the team's other wide receivers remain healthy.

There's been a lot of talk in New England about Tom Brady's dissatisfaction with some of his receivers and Dorsett's lack of action seems to indicate that he's in the dog house.

He's something of a bounce-back candidate Week 15 against the Bengals, but volume could continue to be an issue for Dorsett down the stretch, given that QB Tom Brady's only consistent targets to date have been Julian Edelman and James White.

    Analysis: It's a troubling distinction with just one day left before Sunday's pivotal contest against the Cowboys, made worse by the fact No. 2 wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (ankle) is not expected to play. The Patriots did list Dorsett as questionable following Friday's injury report, but Reiss seemed to indicate the team plans to be without its top speed threat. With Julian Edelman also hampered by a shoulder injury, the Patriots have just two healthy wide receivers -- N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers -- on…read more

  • Listed as questionable

    Dorsett (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday.

    Analysis: Also limited Friday and listed as questionable by the Patriots were fellow receivers Mohamed Sanu (ankle) and Julian Edelman (shoulder). We'd be surprised if Edelman was out against Dallas, but Sanu missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday, and it's unclear where Dorsett resides in the NFL's concussion protocol at this stage. We'll look for added clarity with regard to the trio's Week 12 status as Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff approaches, but N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers are next in line…read more

  • Returns to limited practice

    Dorsett (concussion) logged a limited practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Dorsett was listed as a non-participant Wednesday, with his upgrade in participation Thursday signifying a positive step as he progresses through the NFL's concussion protocol. The Patriots will provide another update on Dorsett's status following Friday's practice, but the team is reportedly optimistic that the wideout will clear the five-step protocol by the time Sunday's game against the Cowboys arrives, per Jeff Howe of The Athletic. Dorsett's Week 12 availability gains added import with…read more

  • At practice Thursday

    Dorsett (concussion) was present for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The same applies to Mohamed Sanu (ankle), with Reiss noting that Sanu "did not go through the position-specific warmup, while Dorsett did." We'll circle back later Thursday to see how the Patriots list the duo's participation level. Per Zack Cox of NESN.com, though Dorsett was in attendance for Wednesday's session, he was ultimately classified as a non-participant.

  • At practice Wednesday

    Dorsett (concussion) was present for practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dorsett will most likely be listed as a limited participant, but his presence on the field Wednesday suggests that he has a decent chance of being medically cleared in advance of this weekend's game against the Cowboys.

  • Won't return due to concussion

    Dorsett is ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a concussion, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With Dorsett on the shelf for the rest of the game, Jakobi Meyers and N'Keal Harry both figure to see upticks in their respective usages. Dorsett will enter the league's concussion protocol, which he will need to clear before returning to game action. The receiver caught three of five targets for 33 yards and a touchdown before exiting.

  • Evaluated for head injury

    Dorsett left Sunday's game at Philadelphia to be evaluated for a head injury.

    Analysis: In the process of hauling in a 15-yard touchdown from fellow wide receiver Julian Edelman, Dorsett took a hard hit from an Eagles defender and went to the locker room with the sideline concussion spotter shortly thereafter, per Doug Kyed of NESN.com. If diagnosed with a concussion, Dorsett will be subject to the NFL's five-step protocol to be cleared for game action.

  • Catches two passes Sunday

    Dorsett was on the field for 66 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Ravens, hauling in two of his four targets for 13 yards in the process.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Julian Edelman and Mohamed Sanu both logged 67 snaps, with the game flow/tempo leading to an emphasis on three-receiver sets. Though Dorsett saw ample playing time Sunday, he was the team's clear-cut No. 3 wide receiver option, with Sanu seeing 14 targets and Edelman logging 11. Once the Patriots return from their Week 10 bye, it's plausible that rookie N'Keal Harry could start cutting into Dorsett's snap/target share, a scenario that would make Dorsett a hit-or-miss fantasy option…read more
