It appears Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will be ruled out for the team’s game Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
We don’t know much about how Lawrence hurt his shoulder, or even what’s wrong with it. He was all over the place against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9, going 16 of 31 for 169 yards and two interceptions. He had two touchdowns, but both were rushing touchdowns, so neither of them significantly affected his throwing shoulder.
When asked about his QB on Wednesday, head coach Doug Pederson He said Lawrence was “sore” and would be limited in practice. He was also noncommittal when asked if Lawrence would be healthy enough to play against the Vikings.
According to NFL Network’s Ian RapoportLawrence is reportedly weighing his treatment options for his shoulder and surgery is on the table. Rapoport said in X That while there is no surgery scheduled now, it is one of the options Lawrence is considering.
McCaffrey expected to return to 49ers
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that he expects the All-Pro running back to make his season debut this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after an “impressive” performance in practice the last two days.
McCaffrey has been out all season due to Achilles tendinitis and calf tightness, and the first problems arose when he was scratched late in Week 1. He was soon placed on injured reserve, with a confusing timetable for returning to the field.
He was treated by a specialist in Germany in September and did not return to training until this week. This week, he has been listed as a limited participant in practice.
With McCaffrey out, the 4-4 Niners have struggled to replicate their success from last season, due to both the running back’s absence and other factors. Jordan Mason has handled the bulk of the running duties, recording 685 rushing yards and three touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards per carry (McCaffrey averaged 5.4 yards last season).
Cowboys’ Lamb aims to play despite shoulder injury
CeeDee Lamb has a bruised shoulder following the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons last week. He finished the game and has been limited in practice, but has made enough progress to feel confident he will be on the field against the Eagles.
“I feel like I’ve made a big step throughout the week these last two or three days.” lamb said. “But I’m fine, I was running today and I was doing well.”
Lamb, who does not plan to wear any type of brace, will have a new quarterback throwing to him this week. With Dak Prescott out with a hamstring injury, Cooper Rush will take over starting duties as the Cowboys look to snap a four-game losing streak.
“We’ve connected, we’ve taken a lot of reps outside of practice, just talking, communicating, being on the same page,” Lamb said. “I feel like that’s very important with the situation that’s coming up and I’m happy for him, we know what Coop can do, the confidence is still there.”
Here’s everything you need to know regarding injuries for Week 10. (Players will be added as teams release their reports.)
