Surgery could be on the horizon for Trevor Lawrence, but the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback is expected to play Sunday against the Houston Texans, head coach Doug Pederson said Friday.
Lawrence, who is listed as questionable, has missed the past two Jaguars games due to a sprained left shoulder he suffered on Nov. 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. But after returning to training this week, there was hope he could be back on the field this week.
“I think [the sprained AC joint] It’s been quite difficult to determine, quite frankly, what the best path forward is,” Lawrence said Wednesday.[Surgery is] Definitely something I’m considering and completely off the table. It’s something we’ll just have to do [approach] really from day to day, from week to week.
Pederson said: “He’s had a good week. I’d say from now on, yes, he’ll play.”
Brock Purdy questionable vs. Bills
After missing the San Francisco 49ers’ loss to the Green Bay Packers and being limited in practice this week, quarterback Brock Purdy was listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills.
“A lot of things could happen between now and then,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday. “But right now he’s playing. He’s doing well. I had a good day.”
Purdy is dealing with a right shoulder injury and has yet to practice since suffering the injury on Nov. 17 against the Seattle Seahawks.
“Any time you go through an injury and things like that, you want to know what’s going on with your body and how long something can last and if something is serious or not, if you’re healthy or not,” Purdy said. “All those things were definitely going through my mind. But I’m happy that everything was clear on the MRI and knowing that we had a plan to get ready for this week, and I’m ready to go now.”
Left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) and rusher Nick Bosa (hip/oblique), who also did not play in Week 12, have been ruled out for the Bills game.
JK Dobbins placed on IR with knee sprain
A knee sprain knocked JK Dobbins out of Monday night’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens and now the injury will force him to miss time for the Los Angeles Chargers.
On Saturday, the Chargers announced that Dobbins has been placed on injured reserve, ruling him out for at least the next four games.
Dobbins, who missed the 2021 season with a torn ACL and then suffered a torn Achilles tendon in Week 1 last season, had a bounce-back year with 766 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games for the 7-4 Chargers.
Here’s the rest of the Week 13 injury report. (Players will be added as teams release their reports.)
