NFL news, injury updates: The heat is on Doug Pederson in Jacksonville, 49ers' Nick Bosa dealing with new injury
The 2-9 Jaguars have lost four straight games, and were destroyed by the Lions on Sunday
A Super Bowl-winning head coach could be on his way out the door, and the injury bug continuing to bite one the the NFL's most talented rosters headline the news and notes coming out of Week 11 Sunday in the NFL. While the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers inched closer to solidifying their spots in the AFC playoff picture, the Jacksonville Jaguars moved closer to the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after a 52-6 beatdown at the hands of the Detroit Lions. Doug Pederson led the Jaguars to middling 9-8 records in each of the past two seasons, even making the playoffs and winning a game in 2022, but an awful start to the year could mean his job is in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Nick Bosa left the 49ers' heartbreaking loss to the Seahawks, and it wasn't a re-aggravation of a hip injury that had him on the injury report heading into Week 11.
Doug Pederson on the hot seat in Jacksonville
Things aren't great when you lose a game by 46 points and you've got the worst record in the NFL. Doug Pederson's tenure on Florida's First Coast has turned sour after a first season that included an AFC South title and designs on shepherding Trevor Lawrence into becoming one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. Well, at 2-9 and with the Jags having a Week 12 bye, now could be the time to make a change, according to Yahoo Sports' senior NFL writer Frank Schwab.
"On Saturday, someone leaked to NFL Media that with the Jaguars' bye week coming up, big changes could be made including firing Pederson. That's an underhanded way of finding out that keeping your job might depend on winning at Detroit, but at least Pederson knew the stakes. And like just about everything else since that Super Bowl win with the Eagles, Pederson fell short."
Pederson, who led the Eagles to a Super Bowl championship is just 42-50-1 as a head coach since with that lone 2022 playoff appearance. Stay tuned in Jacksonville.
Nick Bosa dealing with oblique injury
Just as Christian McCaffrey has returned to the lineup, the snake-bitten 2024 49ers are dealing with another injury to another major star. After Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the oblique injury was a new one, but didn't offer more on what that would mean for the star pass rusher. Bosa has seven sacks this season, and has posted double-digit sack totals each of the past three years. The 5-5 49ers are tied with the Rams and Seahawks, a game back of the 6-4 Cardinals in the NFC West.

Brian Daboll on Giants' quarterback change: 'This was a necessary move for us'
"We are making a quarterback switch from Daniel Jones to Tommy DeVito," Daboll said Monday. "After evaluating and watching a lot of tape, that's the reason we are going with Tommy. Drew Lock will be the backup. This was a necessary move for us and I'm looking forward to working with Tommy."
DeVito, who has not played this season, appeared in nine games last season, throwing for 1,101 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions.
