NFL injury tracker Week 10: Trevor Lawrence likely out, Christian McCaffrey expected to return, CeeDee Lamb ‘going to be right’

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence looks like he will be ruled out for the team’s game on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

We don’t know much about how Lawrence injured his shoulder, or even what’s wrong with it. He was everywhere 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 TDs, so neither involved his throwing shoulder significantly.

When asked about his QB on Wednesday, head coach Doug Pederson said Lawrence was “sore” and would be limited in practice. He was also non-committal when asked if Lawrence would be healthy enough to play against the Vikings.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Lawrence is reportedly considering his treatment options for his shoulder and surgery is on the table. Rapoport said on X that while no surgery is planned right now, this is one of the options Lawrence is considering.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday he expects the All-Pro running back to make his season debut this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a “great” performance in practice over the past two days.

McCaffrey has been out all season due to Achilles tendonitis and a tight calf. The problems first came when he picked up a late scratch in week 1. He was quickly placed on injured reserve, with a hazy timetable for returning to the field.

He was treated by a specialist in Germany in September and only returned to practice this week. This week he is listed as a limited participant in the training.

With McCaffrey out, the 4-4 Niners have struggled to repeat their success from last season due to the running back’s absence as well as other factors. Jordan Mason has handled the bulk of the running duties, with 685 rushing yards and three touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards per carry (McCaffrey averaged 5.4 yards last season).

CeeDee Lamb has a bump on his shoulder following the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons last week. He’s played out the game and has been limited in practice, but he’s made enough progress and he’s confident he’ll be on the field against the Eagles.

“I feel like I’ve made a big step the last two out of three days,” Lamb said. “But I’m fine, I was running today, I was proven right.”

Lamb, who doesn’t plan to wear any kind of brace, will have a new quarterback thrown his way 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 been connecting, we’ve been doing a lot of reps outside of practice, just talking, communicating and getting on the same page,” Lamb said. “I feel like that’s very important with the situation 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 in terms of injuries for Week 10. (Players will be added as teams release their reports.)
