Reed Blankenship: ruled out in London with concussion

THE FACT. Texans safety Reed Blankenship was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London after one of the league's independent neurologists diagnosed a concussion, per CBS Sports and NBC Sports' Rotoworld. CBS Sports reported M.J. Stewart is the likely replacement at strong safety alongside Calen Bullock.

THE VERDICT. Concussion protocol means he cannot practice in full contact or play until he is cleared, so his availability next week is genuinely in doubt. IDP: pull him from starting lineups until Houston confirms he has cleared, and treat Stewart as the short-term tackle beneficiary in that secondary. Redraft and DFS managers can move on; this one only matters in IDP and deep tackle-heavy formats.
