Surgery may 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 has missed the past two Jaguars games after suffering a sprained left shoulder suffered on Nov. 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, after returning to practice, he was expected to return to the field this week.
“I think so [the sprained AC joint] Lawrence said Wednesday “[Surgery is] Definitely something I’m considering and not off the table. It’s something that we’re just going to have [approach] Really day by day, week by week.
“He’s had a good week. I’d say right now, yes, he’s going to play,” Pederson said.
Brock Purdy is still limited in practice
After last week’s San Francisco 49ers loss to the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Brock Purdy was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday.
Purdy is dealing with a right shoulder injury and has yet to practice since suffering the injury Nov. 17 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) and rusher Nick Bosa (hip/oblique), who haven’t played in Week 12, also missed Thursday’s practice.
JK Dobbins out with knee sprain
Jake Dobbins suffered a knee sprain in Monday night’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and now the injury will force him to miss time for the Los Angeles Chargers.
He will definitely miss this week’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. Beyond that, his status is considered week-to-week.
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.
