SIC Roundup: Key Injury Analysis from Week 15

Trevor Lawrence - SIC score 22

Injury: Concussion

Impact: In concussion protocol following W15 loss to the Ravens - by our data, 22% chance to clear without missing W16 matchup against Buccaneers

Week 16 Opponent: Buccaneers

Team: Jaguars

Keaton Mitchell - SIC score 10

Injury: Left knee

Impact: By video, significant worry for a multi-ligament injury in left knee – MRI will confirm damage but done for the season and recovery likely to stretch into next season – recovery timeline will be similar to J.K. Dobbins’ knee injury from 2022 - good chance that artery and nerve are not damaged as well

Week 16 Opponent: 49ers

Team: Ravens

Zach Wilson - SIC score 22 

Injury: Concussion

Impact: Ruled out with a head injury he likely suffered on one of the four sacks - Trevor Siemian in at quarterback - if placed in concussion protocol, 22% chance to clear for next week against the Commanders

Week 16 Opponent: Commanders

Team: Jets

Will Levis - SIC score 49 

Injury: Left tackle

Impact: By video, left high ankle sprain when he was sacked in overtime - unlikely to play next week against the Seahawks - Ryan Tannehill to step back in as starting QB

Week 16 Opponent: Seahawks

Team: Titans
