NFL Injury Report 2024 - Fantasy Football Week 14: Trevor Lawrence & More
With Week 13 dust almost settled, let’s look ahead to the NFL Week 14 Injury Report and who’s banged up.
There were major fantasy football implications as the likes of Bucky Irving, Christian McCaffrey, and Trevor Lawrence were all hurt, two of which could have their seasons finished.
NFL Injury Report For Week 14: Fantasy Football Injuries
Let's dive into the Fantasy Football Injury Report and what we’re initially looking at before the injury reports start flowing on Wednesday!
NFL Week 14 Injury Report: Quarterbacks
Trevor Lawrence Injury Update - Concussion
Trevor Lawrence took a horrifically late hit from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair and was immediately knocked out of the game because of it. He did not return and will likely not return to the football field for some time. Prayers up for Lawrence and hopefully he’s able to make a full recovery.
Brock Purdy Injury Update - Shoulder
There is seemingly nothing but blue skies for Brock Purdy as he’s scheduled to practice in full all week leading up to Week 14. He didn’t go to rehab on Monday, a sign he’s past his shoulder issue.
NFL Week 14 Injury Report: Running Backs
Christian McCaffrey Injury Update - Knee
Head coach Kyle Shanahan gave everyone an update on Monday, and it is in fact a sprained PCL for Christian McCaffrey that will sideline him for six weeks. Unless the 49ers make the postseason, his season is over. He’s been placed on IR.
Bucky Irving Injury Update - Hip
Despite having a monster game on Sunday, Bucky Irving did leave the field for a bit with a hip injury and was also seen after the game with a limp and his hip on ice. That being said, Bucky Irving told the media on Monday he feels much better today than he did after leaving the game on Sunday.
Austin Ekeler Injury Update - Concussion
After suffering another concussion in Week 12, the Commanders placed Austin Ekeler on injured reserve, removing him from action through at least Week 16. With multiple concussions suffered this year, we’ll see if we see Ekeler returns later in the year.
Jordan Mason Injury Update - Ankle
It’s not only Christian McCaffrey that’s going to hit injured reserve, but also Jordan Mason as well. Mason has a high-ankle sprain and that’s typically a four-week or more injury. Isaac Guerendo, it’s your time to shine.
NFL Week 14 Injury Report: Wide Receivers
Ladd McConkey Injury Update - Knee
The Chargers are being very coy about Ladd McConkey’s apparent knee injury. When asked about it, head coach Jim Harbaugh said “We’ll see.” Not the best reassurance from the head coach, but we will in fact see as the week goes on.
Hollywood Brown Injury Update - Shoulder
We are seemingly in the final stages of the Hollywood Brown return to the Chiefs as he’s expected to get clearance from his doctors after Week 15, allowing him to return in Week 16 or 17. That’s great timing for the Chiefs as their offense has still not fully clicked despite being 11-1.
Rashod Bateman Injury Update - Knee
After the Ravens Week 13 loss, head coach John Harbaugh told reporters that Rashod Bateman’s knee was sore, and he wasn’t able to go back in because of it. What will the sore turn into? We’ll find out at some point, but it might not be this week as the Ravens are on a bye.
Romeo Doubs Injury Update - Concussion
The Packers play on Thursday Night and Romeo Doubs was spotted at practice for a second consecutive day on Monday. He’s still in concussion protocol, but this is obviously a great sign for what’s to come for Doubs’ availability.
Noah Brown Injury Update - Rib
After leaving in the third quarter due to a rib injury, Noah Brown was ultimately unable to return in the Commanders Week 13 contest. The Commanders are one of six teams with a bye in Week 14, so Brown will have nearly two weeks to recover.
Demarcus Robinson Injury Update - Hand
There’s a lot going on in Demarcus Robinson’s world right now including a hand injury he was forced from Week 13 with. We’ll see how this impacts him long-term, but he’s been excellent on the field for the Rams despite being the clear-cut third option of the receiving corps.
Calvin Austin Injury Update - Concussion
Calvin Austin was knocked out of the Steelers Week 13 game with a concussion as he was unable to pass through the protocols to return to action. The Steelers open up as 6.5-point favorites in Week 14 and we’ll see if Austin is a part of the action.
NFL Week 14 Injury Report: Tight Ends
Dallas Goedert Injury Update - Knee
In what’s been an injury plagued season, Dallas Goedert was hit with another injury, this time to his knee. The Eagles, per Jeff McLane of The Inquirer, don’t view this injury as overly serious and are hoping the MRI reveals nothing more than a sprain.
Taysom Hill Injury Update - Knee
It has been confirmed on Monday that Taysom Hill did suffer a season-ending ACL tear. His impressive 2024 campaign is over.
Tyler Higbee Injury Update - Knee
After returning to practice last week, Tyler Higbee did not suit up in Week 13 but has a realistic opportunity to return in Week 14. He hasn’t played a single snap yet as he battles back from a season-ending ACL tear a year ago, but his 21-day window is open.
Theo Johnson Injury Update - Foot
The New York Giants put their impressive rookie tight end, Theo Johnson, on season-ending IR on Monday. Johnson had 29 catches and 331 yards along with one touchdown in his rookie campaign.
