NFL News, Injury Updates: Doug Pederson busy in Jacksonville, 49ers’ Nick Bosa dealing with new injury

A Super Bowl-winning head coach could be on his way out the door, and the injury bug continues to bite one of the NFL’s most talented rosters in the news and notes heading into Week 11 on Sunday. While the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers moved closer to solidifying their spots in the AFC playoff picture, the Jacksonville Jaguars moved closer to the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after a 52-6 loss to the Detroit Lions. Doug Pederson led the Jaguars to mediocre 9-8 records in each of the past two seasons, even making the playoffs and winning a game in 2022, but a terrible start to the year could mean his job is in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Nick Bosa left the 49ers’ heartbreaking loss to the Seahawks, and it wasn’t a re-aggravation of a hip injury that put him on the injury report heading into Week 11.

It’s not great when you lose a game by 46 points and you have the worst record in the NFL. Doug Pederson’s tenure on Florida’s First Coast has turned sour after a first season that included an AFC South title and plans to help Trevor Lawrence become one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Well, at 2-9 and with the Jags having a Week 12 bye, now could be the time to make a change, according to Yahoo Sports senior NFL writer Frank Schwab.

“On Saturday, someone leaked to NFL Media that with the Jaguars’ bye week approaching, big changes could be made, including firing Pederson. That’s an underhanded way of finding out that keeping your job might depend on winning in Detroit, but at least Pederson knew the stakes. And like almost everything else since the Super Bowl win with the Eagles, Pederson came up short.”

Pederson, who led the Eagles to a Super Bowl championship, is just 42-50-1 as a head coach since that lone playoff appearance in 2022. Stay tuned in Jacksonville.

Just as Christian McCaffrey has returned to the lineup, the snake-bitten 2024 49ers are dealing with another injury to another big star. After Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks, head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the oblique injury was new, but did not provide more information on what that would mean for the star pass rusher. Bosa has seven sacks this season and has posted double-digit sack totals each of the last three years. The 5-5 49ers are tied with the Rams and Seahawks, one game back of the 6-4 Cardinals in the NFC West.

  • Chiefs sign WR Tyquan Thornton to practice

    The Chiefs continue to strengthen their wide receiving corps following the injuries to Rashee Rice and Juju Smith-Schuster. Kansas City has added former Patriots running back Tyquan Thornton to the practice squad.

    Thornton, 24, was waived by New England on Saturday. He was the team’s second-round pick (No. 50 overall) in the 2022 NFL Draft after drawing attention to the scouting combine for running a 4.28 40-yard dash.

    This season, Thornton caught four passes for 47 yards. Over his career, he has racked up 39 receptions for 385 yards and two touchdowns in three years with the Patriots.

  • Nico Collins returns for Texans-Cowboys without restrictions after five-game absence

    Nico Collins was leading the NFL when he suffered a hamstring injury in Week 5. He returns to the Houston Texans lineup Monday against the Dallas Cowboys after missing five consecutive weeks.

    The Texans removed Collins from injured reserve prior to last week’s game against the Lions, but did not activate him for the game. They then removed his injury status Saturday ahead of Monday’s game.

    According to ESPN’s Adam SchefterCollins will play Monday night with no minutes or snap restrictions.

  • Thanks to ‘The Simpsons’ we’re stuck with Bengals-Cowboys on Week 14 MNF

    If you were hoping that the Week 14 Bengals-Cowboys matchup on “Monday Night Football” might be expanded for a more consequential matchup, give up on that dream now.

    Like last season’s Toy Story game, “The Simpsons Sunday Funday Football” is an alternate broadcast in which “The Simpsons” characters (as well as animated football players) will do exactly what the real football players do during the game. And at this point, less than a month after the December 9 game, too much work has been done to make any major changes.

    Last year’s edition was a huge hit with kids and adults, and this year ESPN is counting on the perennial appeal of Bart, Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie and the whole gang to bring in viewers.

  • Bears file complaint with NFL that Packers committed penalty during game-ending FG block

    The Chicago Bears lost in heartbreaking fashion on Sunday when the Green Bay Packers blocked a game-winning field goal attempt as time expired at Soldier Field.

    On Monday, head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters that the Bears believe the Packers committed a penalty on the block and are filing a complaint with the NFL. Eberflus also defended his decision to attempt the kick from 46 yards instead of using the time remaining on the game clock to make it a shorter attempt.

    “We’re making a quarterback switch from Daniel Jones to Tommy DeVito,” Daboll said Monday. “After evaluating and watching a lot of tape, that’s the reason we’re going with Tommy. Drew Lock will be the backup. This was a necessary move for us and I look forward to working with Tommy.”

    DeVito, who has not played this season, played in nine games last season and threw for 1,101 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions.

  • Giants benched QB Daniel Jones

    NFL week has started with a bang as the Giants reportedly move starting quarterback Daniel Jones to the bench. They’re not replacing him with their $5 million backup QB Drew Lock, but with third-stringer Tommy DeVito. Head coach Brian Daboll is reportedly more comfortable with DeVito since the two worked well together in 2023 when DeVito started in place of the injured Jones.
