FOXBOROUGH

-- Jimmy Garoppolo did not suffer a fracture when he landed hard on his right shoulder during Sunday's win over the Miami Dolphins.

According to a source, X-Rays came back negative for Garoppolo, who was transported to the hospital before the conclusion of Sunday's game.

Garoppolo absorbed a hit from Miami linebacker Kiko Alonso in the second quarter on a throw to Malcolm Mitchell. To that point, Garoppolo had completed 18-of-27 passes for 234 yards and three touchdowns. He exited with the Patriots holding a 21-0 lead.

After the injury, Garoppolo was replaced by rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett.

The Patriots held on for a 31-24 win.

Garoppolo's availability in Week 3 remains uncertain. The Pats have a quick turnaround, as they host the Texans on Thursday night.

Update: Garoppolo has an AC joint injury. The timetable for return is unclear, but it seems Week 4 versus the Bills could be in play.
