ESPN's Mike Reiss suggests that "at this time, the Patriots are not expected to have Garoppolo (right shoulder) in uniform" for Thursday night's game against the Texans.
Previous reports suggested that Garoppolo was in line to serve as the Patriots' backup QB behind Jacoby Brissett on Thursday, but evidently such an outcome is not a lock. Either way, Garoppolo is not expected to start Thursday's game, and unless that expectation changes closer to kickoff, Garoppolo will remain off the Week 3 fantasy lineup radar.
