At Acrisure Stadium on Thursday night, the New England Patriots defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 21–18, proving that Ezekiel Elliott was a superior backup to Mitch Trubisky.
Starting in place of injured quarterback Kenny Pickett, quarterback Trubisky ran for thirty yards and another touchdown in addition to passing for 190 yards and a touchdown. However, Pittsburgh was only 3-of-14 on third down and 1-of-3 on fourth down, and he also had an interception.
In other news, a different team is hoping to have its quarterback after suffering an unexpected home loss. After the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Monday night loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, Trevor Lawrence left the game due to a sprain to his right high ankle. The Jaguars won’t find out if he can play until Sunday’s kickoff.
For what could be an intriguing interconference clash between the Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Ravens, the injury news seems to be generally positive. The impressive rookie receiver for the Rams, Puka Nacua, says he will play despite suffering a shoulder injury that kept him out of the game last week. Meanwhile, quarterback Lamar Jackson of the Ravens appears fully recovered from the illness that kept him out of practice on Thursday.
As we get closer to the Sunday games, the following injury updates are provided by our NFL Nation reporters:
According to head coach Doug Pederson, Lawrence’s playing status against the Cleveland Browns will be decided on game day. Limited practice sessions were held by Lawrence on Thursday and Friday, and Pederson expressed optimism that Lawrence will play. Lawrence sprained his left knee against Indianapolis earlier this season, but he played four days later in New Orleans after suffering a toe injury against Detroit last season, during which he missed no starts. The backup is C.J. Beathard.
