NFL Week 14 injuries: News on Trevor Lawrence, Puka Nacua, more - ESPN

Ezekiel Elliott turned out to be the better backup than Mitch Trubisky on Thursday night as the New England Patriots upset the Pittsburgh Steelers 21-18 at Acrisure Stadium.

Starting in place of running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle), Elliott accounted for 140 yards, including 72 on seven receptions, and a touchdown.

Starting in place of quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle), Trubisky passed for 190 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 30 yards and another score. But he also had an interception, and Pittsburgh was only 3-of-14 on third down and 1-of-3 on fourth down.

Elsewhere, another team coming off a surprising home loss is hoping it will have its quarterback. The Jacksonville Jaguars, who fell to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night, saw Trevor Lawrence leave the game with a right high ankle sprain. The Jaguars will wait until game time Sunday to see if he can play.

The injury news appears mostly good for an interesting interconference matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Ravens. Sensational Rams rookie receiver Puka Nacua says he'll play despite a shoulder injury that knocked him out of last week's game for a stretch, and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson seems completely recovered from an illness that kept him out of Thursday's practice.
