Jaguars placed K Josh Lambo (hip) on injured reserve.

He'll miss at least the next three games. Lambo 3-of-4 on extra points and made his lone field goal attempt in the Week 2 loss to the Titans. Lambo has been on of the most consistent kickers in the sport since signing with the Jaguars in 2017. Brandon Wright will kick against the Dolphins Thursday night and get the first crack at replacing Lambo.

Panthers Place Christian McCaffrey On Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers placed running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday with his high ankle sprain. The move will keep McCaffrey out for at least three weeks. The team placed a four- to six-week timeline on his return on Tuesday. Carolina wants to make sure that their star running back doesn't try to return too soon from his injury and aggravate it. Mike Davis is in line for lead-back duties in McCaffrey's absence, and he has become one of the top waiver-wire pickups heading into Week 3. Wide receiver Curtis Samuel could also see some snaps out of the backfield to help pick up the slack, beginning in Week 3 against the Chargers.

Jalen Reagor suffered a torn UCL in his thumb Week 2 against the Rams and is expected to miss multiple weeks.
