Trevor Lawrence could miss the rest of the season with a shoulder sprain

play

The Jacksonville Jaguars may not have quarterback Trevor Lawrence for longer than just this week.

Lawrence had already been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, but could miss the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury he suffered last week.

The Athletic reports that Lawrence has a severe AC joint sprain and that could lead to Mac Jones taking over at quarterback to close out the regular season for the 2-7 Jags.

Lawrence suffered an injury to his left non-throwing shoulder during last week’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Lawrence was listed as a limited participant in practice this week, though Jones took all the snaps in the first-team offense.

Lawrence, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 draft, has thrown for 2,004 yards with 11 touchdowns and six interceptions this season.

Jones, also a first-round pick in 2021, played his first three years with the New England Patriots before joining the Jaguars this offseason. He has only taken 16 snaps this season.
