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

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will not play in the team’s game on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Mac Jones is in line to get the start instead.

We don’t know much about how Lawrence injured 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 TDs, so neither of them significantly involved his throwing shoulder.

The Jaguars officially ruled Lawrence as “questionable” in the injury report released Friday. When asked about his QB on Wednesday, Pederson said Lawrence was “sore” and would be limited in practice.

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

McCaffrey expected back for 49ers

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Christian McCaffrey is “good to go” for Sunday. McCaffrey is expected to make his season debut this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, after what Shanahan called an “awesome” performance at practice the past two days.

The 49ers have listed him as “questionable” for Sunday, but Shanahan has said repeatedly that McCaffrey should be ready to play if all goes right. McCaffrey was officially activated off injured reserve on Saturday.

McCaffrey has been out all season due to Achilles tendinitis and calf tightness, with trouble first coming when he was a late scratch in Week 1. He was soon placed on injured reserve, with a hazy timetable to return to the field.

He underwent treatment from a specialist in Germany in September and didn’t return to practice 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 running duties, posting 685 rushing yards and three touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards per carry (McCaffrey averaged 5.4 yards last season).

Chris Olave likely to be placed on IR

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is expected to be placed on injured reserve with a concussion, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Olave suffered the head injury after an illegal blind-side hit in Sunday’s loss to the Carolina Panthers. He was carted off of the field and hospitalized for further evaluation, but was eventually released the same day.

By being placed on IR, Olave will be out for at least four games. But Olave is reportedly seeking expert opinions on his concussion from specialists, meaning that he could be out for longer.

Cowboys’ Lamb aiming to play through shoulder injury

CeeDee Lamb has a banged-up shoulder following the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons last week. He finished the game and has been limited in practice, but he’s progressed enough where he feels confident that he will be on the field against the Eagles.

Lamb, who isn’t planning to wearing a brace of any kind, 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.

Levis back for Titans against Chargers

The Tennessee Titans will get quarterback Will Levis back under center after he has been out since Oct. 13 with a right shoulder injury.

Levis was dealing with a grade two AC sprain in his right shoulder and has been week-to-week. Mason Rudolph started Tennessee’s past three games with the Titans going 1-2 over that stretch.

Nico Collins activated off IR

The Houston Texans have activated wide receiver Nico Collins off injured reserve on Saturday, opening up the potential for C.J. Stroud to get back one of his top targets this week.

Collins, who has been out since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 5, is still questionable for the Week 10 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Detroit Lions. But having the 25-year-old receiver available will be big for Houston: Collins has caught 32 passes for 567 across those first five games, with three touchdowns so far this season. He leads the league in yards per game, averaging 113.4 yards per game.
