00:00All right, so what exactly is going on with Trevor Lawrence?

00:05He'll miss this week.

00:06Mack Jones will start, but there's some question as to what the injury specifically is to Lawrence

00:11because it is not his throwing shoulder.

00:13In fact, Lawrence returned to the game after injury last week and ended up finishing the

00:17game.

00:18So why is he not playing this week and what exactly is this shoulder injury?

00:21Let's check in with Dr. David Chow on the latest.

00:24We saw it from the war room.

00:25He took a hard shot on the left shoulder in the first half, continued to play, Jacksonville

00:31even rallied some.

00:32So how come now he's said to be out?

00:35First of all, yes, it's his non-throwing shoulder and he could just throw with his right arm,

00:40right shoulder, but you do need your left arm to counterbalance, but also you're going

00:44to take hits.

00:46So there's a pain tolerance and safety issue.

00:49What does he have?

00:50He took a hard shot with his arm at his side.

00:52He did not dislocate the left shoulder.

00:54Some sort of contusion, possibly hairline fracture.

00:58Remember Deshaun Watson played through a fracture in his throwing shoulder last year for a little

01:02bit.

01:03Some sort of bony injury is possible here.

01:07The bottom line is he probably will have a hard time taking contact and maybe there's

01:12part of this where Jacksonville is just shutting him down with the possibility of surgery and

01:17also essentially a lost season to get the better draft pick.

01:21Lots more to come.

01:22Lots more details.

01:24It is a real shoulder injury.

01:26And right now we don't know if Lawrence will play in two weeks.

01:29That's really the question.

01:30There's a very big question surrounding the Dallas Cowboys quarterback situation.

01:34We know Cooper Rush is going to start this week, but is there a chance that Dak Prescott

01:37returns at all for Dallas this season?

01:41Let's check in with Dr. Chow on Dak's hamstring injury.

01:45Most hamstring injuries involve the muscle.

01:48This involves the tendon, the tendon at the knee.

01:51It's more of an avulsion injury.

01:54Do not be surprised if he ends up with surgery.

01:57Now the good news with surgery, it would be to resect the area of the tendon to allow

02:01for better healing.

02:02Remember, tendons don't have the same blood flow as muscle.

02:05It's not surgery to reattach it.

02:07Surgery would not end his season, but it certainly would be IR.

02:11It's typically six weeks.

02:13At week 10, that doesn't leave much room for a return.

02:16If the Cowboys can stay alive, Dak can come back this season, but at this point, IR seems

02:22destiny for him, and it will be more than four games missed.

02:27Go to SICscore.com for all the latest.

02:31And as of right now, the Cowboys yet to place him on IR, so maybe that will happen over

02:34the weekend.

02:35Speaking of IR, he's coming back off IR.

02:38That's Christian McCaffrey, the running back of the San Francisco 49ers.

02:42What can we expect with McCaffrey as he makes his November return?

02:46Let's find out from Dr. Chow.

02:48It's November, and we always said his return from bilateral Achilles tendonitis wouldn't

02:53be until November.

02:55It is time.

02:56His practice window is open, and barring a setback, he will play this week, week 10,

03:01for the 49ers.

03:03Workload is a different question.

03:05Jordan Mason should be healthy from his AC joint.

03:07Maybe he's the primary running back, and CMC is used on third downs.

03:11Doubt that he's going to take 60 snaps in his first week back, but it's still great

03:16to have him back.

03:17Finally, for all the fantasy owners, go to SICscore.com for all the latest.

03:22All right.

03:23And finally, we get to the Philadelphia Eagles' injury status updates on their great wide

03:27receiver A.J. Brown and tight end Dallas Goddard.

03:32Some optimism for Eagles pass catchers A.J. Brown and Dallas Goddard.

03:38This is Dr. David Chow, pro football doc at SICscore.com.

03:43From the war room, video, A.J. Brown's knee injury did not look severe.

03:48Video from practice yesterday, he was moving pretty well.

03:52Limited practice, but still moving pretty well.

03:55Think that he is likely to play against the Cowboys.

03:58And Dallas Goddard has a realistic chance to return from his hamstring injury this week

04:03for the divisional matchup as well.

04:06Good news on the horizon for the Eagles.
