NFL injury watch Week 13: Trevor Lawrence eyes return, Brock Purdy remains limited, JK Dobbins out

Surgery could be on the horizon for Trevor Lawrence, but the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback is still holding out hope that he can return to action this season.

Lawrence has missed the Jaguars’ last two games with a sprained left shoulder suffered on Nov. 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. But after returning to practice this week, there’s a chance he could see action Sunday against the Houston Texans.

“I mean [the sprained AC joint] it’s been pretty hard to gauge, frankly, what the best path forward is,” Lawrence said Wednesday.[Surgery is] definitely something I’m considering and not off the table at all. It’s something we’ll just have to do [approach] indeed day to day, week to week.

“Hopefully I can get back out there this week or as soon as possible and then it’s just going to be evaluating it every week, seeing where it’s at. Obviously I’ve been doing everything I can up to this point.” to avoid that and I want to get back out there with my guys and finish the season, so that’s my goal.”

After the San Francisco 49ers’ loss to the Green Bay Packers last week, 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 the injury on Nov. 17 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Also missing Thursday’s practice were left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) and rusher Nick Bosa (hip/oblique), who also did not play in Week 12.

A sprained knee knocked running back JK Dobbins out of Monday night’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and the injury will now force him to miss time for the Los Angeles Chargers.

He will definitely miss this week’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. In addition, 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, had a bounce-back year with 766 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games for the 7-4 Chargers.
