SIC Roundup: Key Injury Analysis from Week 16

Jaylen Waddle - SIC score 68

Injury: Left ankle

Impact: By video, suffered an inversion left ankle sprain late in W16 - not a high ankle as head coach Mike McDaniel alluded to - chance to play in this big AFC matchup but won't be 100%

Week 17 Opponent: Ravens 

Team: Dolphins

Trevor Lawrence - SIC score 84

Injury: Right shoulder

Impact: By video, minor right shoulder sprain when he dove with the ball outstretched - ruled out for game but score was a bigger factor than injury - likely to make 50th straight start next week against the Panthers as he can play through with a pain-numbing injection - left ankle sprain is a nonfactor at this point

Week 17 Opponent: Panthers

Team: Jaguars

Brock Purdy - SIC score 87

Injury: Stinger

Impact: Had recurrence of previous stinger on a sack late against the Ravens - was cleared to go back in but was held out because of score - chance for recurrence going forward but won't keep him out of games

Week 17 Opponent: Commanders

Team: 49ers
