A Reintroduction and Week 13 Injuries

Hello again,

Unfortunately it was necessary to catch you up on SNF and MNF injuries since Week 13 was brutal. Let’s get to it.

Trevor Lawrence - Ankle

Last night Lawrence sustained a gnarly lateral or “low” ankle sprain. So far, reports are that this is just a sprain which is great news. The MRI is still pending, but there’s a chance Lawrence doesn’t miss much time at all, depending on how the Jaguars decide to play this. With the Browns and Ravens on deck, it’s hard to imagine Lawrence sitting even if he’s heavily taped and less than 85%. Still, don’t count him out. Generally speaking, QBs miss 0.25 games per ankle injury, so things continue to look promising so long as Lawrence can get swelling and pain reduced to a tolerable level. 

Christian Watson - Hamstring

Since 2018 WRs who have a hamstring reinjury have missed an average of 1.7 games. The median is 2 games. The Packers have also been extremely conservative this season. Watch his status and know that his re-injury risk again in Week 14 is through the roof.

Christian Kirk - Groin

We’re all mature adults here, right? OK. Christian Kirk may have crushed his testicles last night, and the med staff called it (rightfully so) a groin injury. If this is a traditional muscle groin strain, NFL WRs miss an average of 1 game like Drake London did earlier this season.

For good measure, here’s a 10 minute-ish podcast to catch you up on everything you need to know along with a cheat sheet of return timeframes.

Lastly, I’ve transitioned this newsletter over to fantasy football analysts specifically. I’ll still drop in here from time to time but if you’re an analyst, you’ll want to subscribe here. There’s a short vetting process but my injury analysis efforts have been even more successful here. 

Good luck!
