Surgery could be on the horizon for Trevor Lawrence, but the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback is expected to play on Sunday against the Houston Texans, head coach Doug Pederson said on Friday.
Lawrence, who is listed as questionable, has missed the past two Jaguars games due to a sprained left shoulder suffered on Nov. 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. But after returning to practice this week there was hope he would be able to get back on the field this week.
“I think [the sprained AC joint] has been a pretty difficult thing to gauge, honestly, of what’s the best path forward,” Lawrence said Wednesday. “[Surgery is] definitely something that I’m considering and not off the table at all. It’s something that we’re going to have to just [approach] truly day-by-day, week-by-week.
Said Pederson, “He’s had a good week. I would say as of right now yes he will 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 was listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills.
“Lots of things can happen between now and then,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday. “But right now he’s playing. He’s doing good. Had a good day.”
Purdy is dealing with a right shoulder injury and has yet to practice since getting hurt on Nov. 17 against the Seattle Seahawks.
“Anytime you go through an injury and stuff like that you want to know what’s going on with your body and how long something could be or if something’s serious or not, if you’re healthy or not,” Purdy said. “All those things definitely ran through my mind. But glad everything was clean within 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..
J.K. Dobbins placed on IR with knee sprain
A knee sprain knocked running back J.K. 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 reserving, 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 in Week 1 last season, was having a bounce-back year with 766 rushing yards and eight touchdowns through 11 games for the 7-4 Chargers.
