Trevor Lawrence didn’t play in Week 10 as he tries to get better from a shoulder damage, and the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback has formally been dominated out for at the least yet one more sport.
On Wednesday, Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson informed reporters that Lawrence wouldn’t play in Sunday’s sport in opposition to the Detroit Lions. Mac Jones will begin for Jacksonville as soon as once more.
The Jaguars have a bye in Week 12, so their resolution to carry Lawrence out is unsurprising. Lawrence damage his left shoulder on a tough hit throughout Jacksonville’s Week 10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. By retaining him out forward of the bye, the Jaguars give Lawrence at the least 4 weeks to relaxation and rehab.
Lawrence has what has been described as a major AC joint sprain. Whereas the damage is to his non-throwing shoulder, it nonetheless causes ache and makes throwing troublesome.
Pederson sounded optimistic about Lawrence’s potential to play after the bye, however there have been rumblings about the former No. 1 overall pick having surgery.
Lawrence signed an enormous five-year, $275 million extension with the Jaguars through the offseason. Jacksonville is 2-8 and nearly actually will miss the playoffs, so defending Lawrence’s long-term well being might be their high precedence.
